Stabilise your loose dentures in Richmond
Removable dentures have been used for many years to replace missing teeth, but they tend to become loose over time, causing various problems. If you are looking for a cost-effective way to ensure that your dentures remain in place, you should consider having them stabilised with dental implants placed into your jawbone. The procedure is quick, relatively painless and a lot more affordable than regular implants.
At Sheen Dental Implants, mini implants are specifically designed to be used in order to stabilise and retain your loose dentures. In Richmond, the cost is far lower than normal dental implants and the implants will not require an incision into your gum area. The entire procedure can be completed in as little as two hours. Our experienced dentists will examine your teeth and determine whether you would be a good candidate for this treatment.
How do implants stabilise your dentures?
Denture stabilisation is yet another way by which dental implants can improve your oral function and quality of life. Your dentist will place the dental implants into your jawbone at an angle for better support. The heads of these implants are ball-shaped and will protrude from your gums, creating a stable and sturdy foundation for your dentures. This mechanism will allow your dentures to lock into place without creating pressure on the gums. These dental implants essentially replace the natural roots of the teeth and help keep the dentures securely in place.
The small size of mini implants often means that no incision needs to be made to place the implant. They can usually be fixed right through the gum into the bone. This eliminates the need for bone grafting for patients who do not have sufficient bone left in their jawbone. Moreover, recovery period is eliminated, and the dentures can usually be placed right away or only a short time after. In some cases, dentures can be permanently stabilised into your mouth.
