Do away with denture adhesives with dental implants in Herefordshire
Many denture users have problems when their dentures become loose and ill-fitting. Over time, using denture adhesives can become an annoyance for many.
Here at Warrendale Dental we can offer a more permanent solution for loose dentures. In Herefordshire, dental implants are offered to replace any number of missing teeth, but they can also be used to give dentures a stable anchor.
If dental implants are looked after well, they could last you a lifetime. Most dentures can be adapted for dental implant stabilisation, or you can have a new set custom-made for that perfect fit.
How we fit dental implants in Herefordshire
The fitting of dental implants involves a minor surgical procedure. We understand that this can sound daunting to a lot of people, but the procedure is carried out with the utmost care under local anaesthetic or for more nervous patients, oral or intravenous sedation is available so you can fully relax throughout the procedure.
Once you are numbed by the anaesthetic, a small hole will be created in your jawbone. This is to allow a screw to be inserted into the natural material of your jaw. Once the screw is in the right place, we allow the natural healing process begin. The bone will heal around the titanium screw, creating a stable foundation for a false tooth, bridge or existing dentures to be applied.
When dentures are attached, they should not move around your mouth at all, allowing you to eat whatever you like without worrying about embarrassment or not being able to manage with your dentures.
This treatment can give people the confidence to laugh, and singers the confidence to sing without worrying about their loose dentures.
A better alternative for the long-term
It is the aim of modern dentistry to look after your teeth and make the most of what you have. Having dental implants in Herefordshire also preserves the natural shape of your face. This is because implants will give the jawbone the stimulation it needs to remain in shape and looking youthful. Dental implants can provide a huge confidence boost and a life-changing difference when it comes to everyday life with dentures.
