Traditional dentures can provide good aesthetics and function in a relatively cheap way, however with limitations. They can affect the taste, occasionally slip when you laugh, cough or smile, may break if dropped, pronouncing certain words may require practice, you may feel uncomfortable with new for a few weeks. You have to keep oral hygiene at high level every day and you have to go for regular inspections.

A conventional denture is removable. There are permanent solutions, which are bonding or clipping the denture onto dental implants.
Do you wear a denture currently? Probably we can rework to make it suitable for implanted teeth. Implants will make your denture fixed, stable, convenient and aesthetic and prevents bone loss. With a reworked denture you can save money without compromising the quality. During the status assessment our dentist will look at your current denture to advice if it is suitable for rework.
Ill-fitting dentures are often a result of an inadequate lower ridge. After missing your teeth the jawbone begins to shrink, which is called resorbtion. The lower jawbone shrinks around 3-4 times faster than the upper jawbone. Lower dentures become ill-fitted causing irritation, pain, discomfort, difficult chewing, slip when you eat or speak and so they need regularly refitting due to resorbtion. Dentures combined with dental implants solve loose denture problems and will even preserve bone in the jaw.

Before dental implants, there was no solution to fix a denture and prevent jawbone loss. Today you can replace some or all missing teeth with dental implants and you can fix your denture or bridge to implants. With implants you can enjoy a lots of advantages (e.g. permanent, fixed, aesthetic, etc.) and can prevent bone loss.

Denture types

If all of your teeth are missing on the upper or the lower jaw, you would need a full denture or dental implants.

If not all of your teeth are missing partial denture or implants are the solutions. Partial dentures are held in place by attaching them to the remaining natural teeth or dental implants. Metal claps are the most common type of attachment, but they cause problems: they are visible and not aesthetic, they loosen easily, and teeth can easily decay under them. Precision attachment or dental implants solve these problems.

Precision attachment

There are no clasps (metal hooks) and no metal is showing while you are wearing a partial denture with precision attachment. The result is a natural smile with no visible evidence that you are wearing a denture. Despite it is a removable denture, the precision attachment partial denture is stable and comfortable, remaining firmly in place no matter what food is eaten, while no interference with speech. They will not cause decay.

The teeth to which the precision attachments are connected must be capped (crown) since that is how it is fixed.

Materials

The base of a denture is a plate and can be made of either metal or acrylic (plastic). The teeth are made of hard acrylic or porcelain and match your natural teeth.
