Dentures are a great alternative to missing teeth, but many denture wearers find that they struggle to keep them secure, have experienced sore spots or that they make it hard to speak clearly and difficult to eat certain foods.
Although every effort is made to produce comfortable dentures, denture wearers may find that their previously well fitting dentures become loose. This is because over time bone is lost from the jaw due to lack of natural teeth.
The good news is that recent advances in dentistry have solved this problem by combining dentures with dental implants. Implant retained dentures are dentures that clip onto dental implants, which sit solidly in your gums much like natural teeth.
This treatment is suitable for both upper and lower sets of teeth and is a cost effective way of replacing many missing teeth. A lower denture for example may only need two conventional implants to give a completely life-changing transformation to your ability to chew foods, and smile with confidence. No more sore spots, adhesives or embarrassing situations.
