Let dental implants liberate you from your denture struggles
Dental implants are the perfect way to free yourself from common denture woes. At Warrendale Dental Care in Ross-on-Wye we can use implants to replace anything from one to all of your natural teeth, including options to stabilise unruly loose dentures.
Dentures have been used for centuries to replace missing teeth, and the modern versions are very realistic and comfortable, especially when compared to some of the earliest versions (nobody wants to wear wooden teeth). However, because they don’t replace the roots of loose teeth, they don’t prevent a loss of bone density, which is the cause behind most people’s issues with their dentures’ fit.
Loose dentures can cause big problems with eating a healthy diet, with speaking, and with confidence if they start to slip out in public. This can restrict sufferers’ social lives through a combination of embarrassment, shame, and discomfort or even pain when eating. Social isolation is especially problematic for people over the age of 75, who are also the most likely to wear dentures.
At our Ross-on-Wye dental practice, we can perform denture stabilisation, which involves placing a series of dental implants to support your dentures. Dental implants replace the root parts of the teeth and help to prevent the problem of bone shrinkage.
By choosing dental implants at our Ross-on-Wye clinic, you can soon be enjoying the feeling of having a second set of natural teeth. Your dentures will stay firmly in place at all times (they can be removable for cleaning or permanently attached to your implants, depending on what your personal preference is for treatment).
Dental implants will enable you to eat whatever you like, smile, speak, and socialise with confidence. Sunday lunch with the family, a high tea with friends, or even just a treat such as fish and chips will become pleasurable again, and you can get back to enjoying your life free from denture restrictions.
At our Ross-on-Wye dental practice we can also use implants to replace one or several missing teeth. For one tooth, your dentist will place a single dental implant and a crown, whilst for several teeth, an implant-retained bridge may be used.
