Implant retained dentures

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Fed up of having loose dentures? Fed up of having to use messy glues to keep your dentures in? Why not consider having implant-retained dentures?

This treatment consists in having 4-6 implants per jaw and then placing a bar or some metal attachments on the implants and in this way the dentures can securely and tightly clip onto the implants. This will allow a very tight fit of the dentures.

Our dentist, Dr Kalpesh Bohara, recently completed this type of treatment on a patient from Nottingham. This pleasant lady had been wearing dentures for many years and was complaining about their looseness. She ended up having implants onto which a bar was attached allowing the upper denture to clip onto the bar. The results were excellent and the patients was extremely happy.

denture-retained implants

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Dental Implants are a fantastic treatment option to replace missing teeth.

The benefits of implants are:

- good retention of a crown/bridge/denture

-maintain bone

We are aware that not everyone can afford having full mouth implants to replace all their missing teeth. Therefore one of the options we can offer is denture-retained implants.

This type of treatment is great because

- it can suit your budget

- it will greatly improve the fit of your loose dentures

- it will maintain your bone height

This treatment involves placement of about 4 implants on your top or bottom jaw and then a denture is made to clip onto the implants.

Implants to replace broken tooth

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Implants are a fantastic way of replacing missing teeth. They can be used to replace one or more teeth.

People of all ages, from 18 to 80 years of age, from nearby and further away towns, like Shepshed, Nottingham or Chester, come to see us to have dental implants.

An example of a recently completed case is shown below.

This student came in straight after breaking his tooth during a sporting accident. His upper right central incisor was broken off and his upper left central incisor was badly fractured as well and required extraction. The implants were placed and left to integrate in the bone for 2 months. In the meantime, the patient was wearing a denture. Once the implants were integrated, high quality porcelain crowns were constructed and then fitted.



So, if you have a missing tooth or more than one, why not come in for a consultation to find out what we can do for you.

Good fitting, comfortable dentures

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Both Kal and I get new patients coming through the door complaining that their dentures don’t fit properly they are too loose and that they are embarassed to go out for a meal as they are worried they may drop out when eating.

In some cases even the best denture can be slightly loose when the jaw bone is too flat to help retain a denture.

The solution to this problem is: denture retained by dental implants

 

Recently a patient from Coalville came in to see us and asked what are the advantages of implant-retained dentures.

The advantages are:

- great retention of the denture

-reduced cost when compared to full mouth implants and bridges. Therefore this type of treatment can suit patients who have financial constraints.
