Replacing Dentures with Implants

Replacing Dentures with Implants – The Process & Cost

• Fake teeth that don’t ever slip or fall out
• Don’t rely on adhesives or glue ever again
• Never feel sore, uncomfortable or embarrassed
• Fake teeth that are fixed and non-removable
• Dentures you can wear all the time that don’t cover the palate

Whether you’re looking to replace partial missing teeth or a full mouth, choosing to replace your dentures with dental implants means you’ll receive a fixed, implanted prosthetic which won’t move (ever). Plus, as dental implants act like artificial roots and stimulate the bone in the jaw, you’ll also be able to avoid the consequences of bone loss and facial drooping.Are you close to London or live in the city?

It’s never too late for dental implants

But we know you deserve more than that.Long-lasting, secure, fixed, and permanent dental implants have a multitude of advantages that make them the go-to tooth replacement treatment on the market—and it’s not just patient testimonials but clinical studies and research that declare them the best, too.So, if you want to replace your removable option with a fixed one, you’ll be pleased to hear that dental implants are practically suitable for most patients. Initially, if you’re not the perfect fit due to a breakdown of bone, we can take many additional steps to make implants possible. That’s the difference in choosing dentists like us who have committed their careers to implant dentistry.

Getting dental implants after having dentures for years – is it possible? How does it work?

You might not have known dental implants were an option in the past, or you might not have been financially able to explore them. Fifteen million people in the UK wear dentures; most choose prostheses because they are the fastest and cheapest option.But if your circumstances have changed or you hate wearing dentures 24/7, you don’t have to commit to them for the rest of your life.

The biggest concern for denture wearers getting implants is bone loss

Dental implants are placed into the jawbone, which means there needs to be enough bone in the jaw to surround the implant and keep it secure. See process.However, when teeth are missing, the rate of bone loss speeds up as the bone no longer receives stimulation, causing gradual resorption. The body absorbs the bone tissue, causing the jaw to weaken and making implants more challenging to place.Bone loss can occur within the first six months, with around 25% reabsorbed in the first year alone. Sadly, this might be off-putting to denture patients who have had dentures for years! But that doesn’t mean your implant journey is over – it just means it won’t be as fast.In situations like this, our dentists might recommend pre-implant procedures like sinus lifts or bone grafts to create extra room and bone to ensure your implants will be stable and secure. However, if patients want to replace an entire jaw of missing teeth, they can avoid grafting prior by opting for immediate-loaded procedures like All-on-4, which bypass the need for bone.

Age is not a factor for implant suitability

There’s no upper age restriction for dental implants, and just because you might be an older patient does not mean that it will affect your suitability for dental implant treatment. Dental implant candidacy mainly revolves around the amount of bone in the jaw as well as health and anatomy, never age.Book a consultation to see if implants will work for you.
