It's hard to imagine after losing natural teeth, that things could ever be quite the same again. But a growing number of satisfied patients have found a renewed confidence by ditching their traditional dentures for dental implants.
** The procedure that became an established form of dentistry in the United States in recent years can now be carried out with the Denture Clinic – and the transition can mean new teeth which can function just as if they were your own. They are fixed with small titanium screw-like mechanisms that are set, and eventually fused, into the bone – an effective substitute for the roots of your missing teeth.
**Implantologist, Mr Jon Pugh BDS MSc, of ParksideDental.co.uk, with whom the Denture Clinic has a long-established working relationship, will carry out the necessary surgery.
**Research reveals that as little as two dental implants in the lower jaw will significantly stabilise the prosthetic.
A similar procedure secures the upper teeth, normally with four implant fixings. |
**Whatever your clinical dental needs, the team will endeavour to exceed your final expectations with an agreed treatment plan where you are given time to contribute and ask questions.
**Advanced technology means implant dentures can be permanently fixed – removal is possible only by a dental professional – or, the teeth can be snapped on and off their fixings by the patient.
**The advantages of either procedure include: a harmonious fit with your gums, the possibility of improved speech and taste, natural chewing function and bite, no more tilting and the end of pressure spot discomfort, restored chewing ability, improved diet, the end of further jaw bone erosion and . . . the smile of your dreams.
**During the consultation process your jawbone condition will be assessed, along with the soft tissue of your mouth and your general health.
**The clinic will then advise the type of dental restoration that will bring about the best possible clinical outcome.
