How City Dental Leeds Provide Dentures as Stable as Natural Teeth

Monday, July 10th, 2017

shutterstock_600802361Dentures can be a wonderful solution for patients with missing teeth, but they can also be problematic. If you’ve had negative experiences with loose or painful dentures, you may be looking for an alternative option. At City Dental Leeds, we pride ourselves on offering the finest treatments out there, and we’re proud to offer dentures as stable as natural teeth. To provide you with dentures that are comfortable, functional, natural looking and stable, we offer denture stabilisation or implant-retained dentures.

What are implant-retained dentures and how could they benefit me?

Implant-retained dentures are prosthetic dentures that are secured in place by dental implants. Implants are small titanium devices, which are designed to integrate into the bone tissue and take on the role of the missing tooth root. When an implant is in place, it provides the new tooth with the same level of support and stability as a natural, healthy tooth root. There’s no risk of a denture slipping or becoming loose, which gives you peace of mind and enables you to enjoy enhanced bite power. You can eat what you like, and you don’t ever have to worry that your denture will cause irritation or sore spots.

We can use a system called All-on-4 to provide same-day smiles or we can anchor dentures using mini dental implants or standard implants. To support the implant, there has to be dense tissue available in the jaw bone. If the tissue is too weak or shallow, mini implants may be recommended, rather than traditional implants. As they are shorter, they are easier to tolerate. All-on-4 is a system that is designed for instant results, and it takes a single day, rather than several months.

Use Miraculous Mini Implants To Support Your Leeds Smile

Friday, October 17th, 2014

2797271_blogHave your dreams of dental implants been shattered? Are you sick of ill-fitting, uncomfortable dentures? If so, we may have a solution. Mini dental implants are suitable for most patients and they provide a solution for patients who lack bone density to support traditional implants, as well as those who have had troubles with dentures in the past.

About mini dental implants

Mini dental implants are simply smaller versions of traditional implants; they are often recommended for patients who are unable to tolerate traditional implants as a result of insufficient bone tissue in the jaw and they can also be used to anchor dentures to create a more stable tooth replacement. The procedure for placing mini implants is much less invasive and straightforward than larger implants.

Implant-retained dentures

Dentures are very effective and many patients have absolutely no problem with them; however, many patients who have dentures report issues with the fit and comfort factor and implant-retained dentures can prove a very innovative and useful alternative to traditional dentures. Implant-retained dentures are dentures that are held in place by mini implants, rather than the suction of the gums. They provide much greater stability and security and they also increase the power of the denture, which means that you can enjoy a wider range of foods and complete peace of mind when you’re eating.

If you are thinking about swapping your denture or you’re interested in finding out more about mini dental implants or implant-retained dentures, call us today or bob in and see us when you’re next in Leeds!

Take A Step In The Right Direction With Miraculous Mini Implants

Thursday, September 4th, 2014

3177025_blogWe are delighted to offer our patients miraculous mini implants. You may have heard about the incredible benefits of dental implant treatment and now you can enjoy all these perks in miniature form. They say that good things come in small packages and we couldn’t agree more!

Mini implants are a really effective solution for tooth loss and they are often suitable for patients who have been warned against traditional implants due to insufficient bone density in the jaw. Mini implants are easier to tolerate and they can be attached to different kinds of restoration, making them a viable option for many patients who have lost teeth.

About mini implants

Mini implants, as the name suggests, are smaller versions of traditional dental implants. Implants are small titanium prostheses, which are inserted into sockets in the jaw bone to act as replacement tooth roots. Once the implants are anchored into the jaw bone, they can be attached to different types of restoration, including dentures.

Mini implants require less bone tissue than larger implants and the treatment process is less invasive, as these implants can be planted straight through the gums without the need to make an incision. This also means that healing time is much shorter.

Implant-retained dentures

One of the best uses of mini implants is to anchor dentures firmly in place; with implant-retained dentures, the denture is held in place by implants, as opposed to being secured in place by suction provided by the gums and this offers much greater stability and security. Many of our patients who opt for mini implants appreciate the peace of mind and enhanced functionality they get with implant-retained dentures.

Stabilise Your Dentures And Enjoy The Benefits Here In Central Leeds

Sunday, August 17th, 2014

3177025_blogDentures are a hugely impressive solution for missing teeth, but they can cause some issues. With stabilised dentures, we can offer solutions to common denture problems and ensure you have peace of mind, as well as a great looking smile and strong, functional teeth. We stabilise dentures by anchoring them with dental implants; this provides much greater stability and support than the suction of the gums alone.

What are implant-retained dentures?

Dental implants are small titanium posts, which are secured into openings in the jaw bone to act as a tooth root. Once the implant has been placed, it undergoes a process called osseointegration, which results in it becoming part of the actual bone tissue. Once the implant has settled completely, it can then be attached to a new restoration. Implants are clever because they are compatible with different types of restoration, including dentures, crowns and dental bridges. With implant-retained dentures, the denture is connected to the implants.

What are the benefits of implant-retained dentures?

Implant-retained dentures are the answer to denture wearer’s prayers; they eliminate the risk of dentures slipping, they increase bite power so that you can eat what you like, they look great and above all, they make you feel comfortable and confident when you speak, eat and smile. There is absolutely no risk that a denture will come loose or slip and there is very little chance of sore spots developing, as the denture is unable to move out of place.

With implant-retained dentures, you can enjoy all the benefits of traditional dentures with amazing bonuses. There’s no need to worry about limiting your diet or steering clear of specific foods, there’s no risk of slipping and sliding and you can be sure that your denture will feel comfortable at all times.

With mini implants, we can restore your smile and enable you to enjoy a wide range of foods again!

About mini implants

Mini dental implants are made from titanium and they are designed to act as a replacement for the tooth root. Mini implants can be attached to different restorations, but they are usually used to support dentures. With implants in place, the denture is secured much more firmly that traditional dentures, which are held in place only by the suction of the gums.

The treatment process

Mini implants are placed into openings in the jaw bone using a very precise and minimally invasive technique. We can carry out the procedure under local anaesthetic or mild sedation, so you should not feel a thing. The heads of the implants are left exposed and then attached to the base of the denture.

What are the benefits of implant-retained dentures?

Implant-retained dentures offer patients a whole host of benefits. These dentures are much more stable and secure than normal dentures and they give you much more power, which comes in handy for enjoying your favourite foods. There is also no risk of your denture coming loose, which reduces the risk of irritation and enables you to enjoy complete peace of mind that your denture will remain in place, even if you are treating yourself to a nice steak or a piece of crusty bread.

If you’ve had problems with dentures in the past or you have put up with missing teeth for a long time, mini dental implants could be an ideal choice. Call us today to arrange a consultation and we will explain how the treatment works, go through the pros and cons and check that you are a good match for mini implants.
