Implant Supported Dentures Kelmscott

Implant-supported dentures in Kelmscott are anchored by titanium implants surgically placed into your jawbone. The dentures are attached once the implants integrate with your bone, providing a solid and secure fit. With this method, dentures do not move around in the mouth, offering better stability than traditional dentures.

The number of implants required can vary based on individual needs and the state of your jawbone. However, it’s common to need between two and four implants per arch of teeth. Your compassionate dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation during your consultation to determine the specific number of implants needed for your implant-supported dentures.

While many people are eligible candidates for implant-supported dentures, there are certain requirements to be a suitable candidate. Proper candidates for implant-supported dentures are individuals with multiple missing teeth, good oral health, adequate bone density, and a desire for a long-term tooth replacement option. They seek improved chewing, speaking, and aesthetics, commit to oral care, and have realistic expectations. They should also be non-smokers or willing to quit, as smoking significantly increases the risk of implant failure and complications. During the initial, in-depth consultation, we will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your oral health to determine if you’re a suitable candidate.

Many patients find implant-stabilised dentures in Kelmscott more comfortable. They offer a fit close to natural teeth, reducing the discomfort caused by movement or slippage in traditional dentures.

The dental treatment duration for implant-supported dentures, just like implant-retained dentures in Kelmscott, can vary from person to person, largely depending on bone healing and individual health conditions. After your consultation and treatment planning, we’ll provide a more personalised timeline. However, it usually takes 3-6 months, as a healing period is needed for the dental implants to fuse with the jaw bone.

Like natural teeth, implant-stabilised dentures in Kelmscott should be cleaned daily. However, whether they can be removed for cleaning depends on the type of dentures you get. They are usually fixed and can only be removed by a dental professional, but some can be removed at home.

Cleaning your implant-supported dentures involves brushing them daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Regular dental appointments and routine maintenance are also important to maintaining the quality of your dentures and good overall oral health.

The amount your health fund will cover for implant-supported dentures and implant-retained dentures in Kelmscott varies based on your policy. We highly recommend contacting your health fund provider to understand the specifics of your cover.

Like any dental treatment, there can be potential risks involved. The placement of the dental implants involves a surgical procedure. The risks of dental implant surgery include infection, bone loss, or issues with the artificial teeth. However, choosing an experienced team like ours can minimise these risks. Remember to follow post-surgery instructions for proper healing.

The longevity of implant-stabilised dentures in Kelmscott depends on many factors, like oral hygiene, lifestyle, and regular dental appointments. However, with good maintenance, they can last 20 years or longer. With proper care, they can serve as a long-term option for missing teeth.

Implant-supported dentures can provide a substantial improvement in both speech and chewing capabilities compared to conventional dentures. With dental implants in place, the stability and secure fit greatly enhance speech clarity and chewing function. Unlike traditional dentures, which may slip or shift during talking or eating, implant-supported dentures remain securely in place.

Implant-supported dentures, like implant-retained dentures in Kelmscott, can enhance your lifestyle. They offer the confidence of a healthier-looking smile and the comfort of natural teeth, allowing you to speak, eat, and laugh without worry. The only lifestyle change you need to make is the daily maintenance of your implant-supported dentures by practising good oral hygiene.
