One of the biggest dilemmas people with multiple missing teeth face is how to fix their smile.

Do they take the cheaper, non-surgical option of conventional dentures, or do they opt for more expensive but longer-lasting dental implants? It can be a tough decision as they both have advantages and disadvantages.

Thankfully, our implant-retained dentures here in Northampton represent a middle ground, somewhere between the two. Now, patients can experience the stability that implant-retained appliances bring, allowing them to eat and speak with confidence, alongside the familiarity of removable dentures.

In other words, implant-retained dentures provide a stable solution but without the larger cost implications of a full mouth reconstruction, or All-On-4.

What exactly are implant-retained dentures and how do they work?

Implant-retained dentures are a secure and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums, these clip onto specially designed implants anchored into the jaw.

So while they remain removable for easy cleaning, implant-retained dentures provide enhanced stability and functionality, making them a game-changer for patients who have previously struggled with multiple missing teeth or long-term denture wear.

Essentially, implant-retained dentures allow you to remain fully confident in your smile restoration without the worry of movement or discomfort.

Implant-retained dentures – Are they right for you?

At Rowtree Dental, our dentists have worked with many cases where full-arch rehabilitation is required. While treatments like All-On-4 or All-On-6 are an option, they may not be within everyone’s budget. Additionally, some people may like the thought of implants but prefer to stick with something they already know.

Although a patient’s existing denture can, in some cases, be adapted to fit an implant attachment, we prefer to design a new custom denture that provides better functionality, fit and comfort. If you can relate to any of the above, our implant-retained dentures in Northampton could be for you! Either way, we’ll talk you through your options with full transparency so you can make a better-informed decision.

Living with implant-retained dentures

Often known as ‘snap-on’ or ‘clip-on’ dentures, implant-retained appliances are designed to be easily removed by the wearer for cleaning while remaining fully stable in the jaw once clipped back into place. This gives you the freedom to eat a greater variety of foods without the dietary restrictions you might expect with traditional dentures.

Creating a natural-looking, seamless smile

Our implant-retained dentures are exquisitely crafted to blend seamlessly into your existing smile, meaning no one will even know you’re wearing them unless you decide to mention it. On the whole, living with implant-retained dentures represents reassurance and peace of mind – something that you might not always get with conventional denture appliances, particularly one that can let you down when you least expect it.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How do implant-retained dentures differ from conventional dentures?

Traditional dentures rest on the gums and can shift during speaking or eating. In contrast, implant-retained dentures are anchored to dental implants, offering improved stability and a more natural feel.

Who is a suitable candidate for implant-retained dentures in Northampton?

Anyone who has lost multiple teeth and possesses sufficient jawbone density to support implants. A thorough evaluation by a dental professional is necessary to determine eligibility.

What are the benefits of choosing implant-retained dentures?

Benefits include improved stability, enhanced comfort, preservation of jawbone structure, and a more natural appearance compared to traditional dentures.

What is the step-by-step procedure for getting implant-retained dentures?

The process usually involves the following:

  • Consultation: Assessment of oral health and planning.
  • Implant placement: Surgical insertion of implants into the jawbone.
  • Healing period: Allowing time for the implants to integrate with the bone – Normally, somewhere between 3-6 months.
  • Temporary denture: A temporary denture is attached until full implant stabilisation is achieved.
  • Custom-denture attachment: Once the implants have fully integrated, the temporary fixture is removed, and your custom-denture is attached.
