Need to replace a full arch of missing teeth? Or both upper and lower jaws? Explore implant dentures as a better option.

Exploring The Benefits Of Implant-Retained Dentures

You might be pleased to hear that unsecured dentures are a thing of the past. Denture-wearers will know how painful, inconvenient and awkward dentures can be – not only do unsecured dentures make it hard to chew certain foods, but they make eating enjoyable foods an uncomfortable experience.

The old-fashioned solution for replacing lost teeth has been replaced with modern dental implant-based solutions that can dramatically enhance your quality of life, not to mention the overall oral foundation. If you’ve suffered from conventional dentures for some time and want something more secure and stable, implant-retained dentures have become the increasingly affordable go-to choice.

In some cases, a patient’s fear and anxiety may be too much for them. Rather than risking avoiding treatment, Dorset Dental Implant Clinic offers plenty of options, in the form of dental sedation.

Are They Better than Dentures?

  1. Smile and eat normally again with snap-in dentures
  2. Over 20 years of experience replacing teeth
  3. Thousands of implants placed
  4. Flexible finance (0% interest) and 5-year payment plans

Implant-retained dentures costs from £8,000 to £9,000, which provides you with a removable denture that’s secured by a total of four dental implants.

 

What are implant-retained dentures?

Have you lost all of your natural teeth?

Better than dentures, implant-retained dentures are perfect for patients with no jaw teeth but a good amount of bone to support implants.

This type of implant has special attachments that allow them to snap onto the denture, meaning patients can remove it to clean it when necessary.

However, once the denture is snapped in, it will be very secure and stable.

Plus, implant-retained dentures provide a more affordable alternative to full arch rehabilitation treatments like multiple implants or All-on-Four.

Implant-retained dentures vs conventional dentures

If you wear dentures, you will know how uncomfortable they can be. Implant-retained dentures are secured to the jawbone with titanium screws and abutments, providing better security and comfort.

The main advantage is that the prosthetic will not slip out of place. Many of our patients who have undergone this procedure report that implants feel and function just like natural teeth.

One of the main worries for patients regarding implant-retained dentures is if any food gets stuck under the dentures.

With implant dentures, food is less likely to get under the denture.

But even if food managed to find its way in, there is a lot less irritation as the denture does not put pressure on the gums. Instead, the force is directed to the bone.

Implant-supported dentures look better, work better and feel better than traditional removable dentures – there is no need for unpleasant adhesives or risk of embarrassment from denture mishaps in public.

Implant-supported dentures are an effective solution to whole mouth restoration, providing a complete set of teeth to replace those that may have been lost to gum disease or trauma.

Compared to a set of removable dentures, which many know as ‘false teeth and need to be taken out regularly for sleeping or cleaning, the implants securing your dentures will stay permanently attached to the jaw unless removed by a dentist.

  1. They have a much more natural function and appearance.
  2. Implant secured dentures look like a healthy set of natural teeth.
  3. They are comfortable and make eating easy and enjoyable.
  4. Dental implants have higher ratings and are much more desirable for patients due to their strength and durability.

Implant-retained denture cost

Patients should understand that because this type of denture is anchored by an implant (a long-lasting tooth root), it comes at a higher cost than traditional dentures.

Opting for implants is an investment into your smile – and whilst this treatment is more affordable than individual implant placement or full mouth reconstructions, patients can still expect to pay from £8,000.

The final cost of your treatment will depend on the number of implants you need – which will all be detailed to you in a consultation. However, the maximum costs for this kind of procedure you can expect to pay is £9,000.
