Denture Stabilisation in Sheffield

If you have loose or ill-fitting dentures, your ability to eat and speak may become affected. Due to advances in dentistry, there is now a procedure whereby your denture can be fixed to your jaw with dental implants. This treatment, known as implant overdentures or denture stabilisation, offers patients with dentures a more permanent solution and can improve quality of life significantly. You will be able to enjoy your favourite foods again and feel comfortable smiling, safe in the knowledge that your dentures are staying put.

Here is how it works:

1

You will require surgery to have the implants placed into your jaw.

2

Once the implants have integrated with the bone and surrounding tissues for a period of time, your dentures are placed on top of the implants through a range of special fixtures.

3

This means your dentures can still be removed for cleaning, but will stay put once in place.

Life Benefits

Enjoy a natural-looking smile and improved confidence in public.
Experience less irritation of your gums caused by dentures and you don't need to take your teeth out at night.

You can eat, chew and bite without your dentures falling out or having to stick to a soft food diet for the rest of your life.

The most effective solution for loose and annoying dentures is to stabilise them through the use of titanium-based dental implants. Implants are used to anchor the denture in place, restricting movement and enhancing the bite function.

S10 Dental knows how to care for patients who suffer from embarrassing and uncomfortable dentures. They’ll be no longer any need for fixatives with this treatment and you can go on to enjoy the food you loved once more.

What you get from denture stabilisation

Dental Implant retained dentures won’t rub or slide about on your gums as they hold the denture securely in place.
The stability of implant retained dentures improves your quality of life. You no longer have to worry about the denture coming loose at inconvenient times. This is done through a unique attachment mechanism, which mimics the way in which your natural teeth stay in place. Your denture can only be removed through a special technique your dentist will show you.
Once again you can experience all the wonders of the palate as there is less likelihood of implant retained dentures fully covering the roof of your mouth.

Dentures which are implant retained don’t fill the mouth as much as ill fitting dentures so they won’t cause you to gag. Retained dentures use less material, and give your mouth more space to breathe.
The natural occurrence of bone recession through the absence of teeth can make the face look sunken and aged. Implanted dentures provide support to the natural dimensions of the face and prevent bone loss. This helps you retain a younger looking profile.

The different ways to stabilise dentures

Lower dentures are placed using locator attachments and two dental implants. Our dental experts can adjust the amount of retention with this technique allowing for maximum comfort.
A bar attachment can hold the lower denture firmly in place through the use of two dental implants.

Locator attachments used in conjunction with a fixed bar and four dental implants helps to perfectly stabilise a lower denture.
Through our S10 Dental expertise, we can attach the components of your denture using the All-on-4 technique. This involves the use of four dental implants.
