If you wear traditional dentures, you may have concerns about your teeth becoming loose. At Sheen Dental in Richmond<\/a> we can help to eradicate this problem by using dental implants to stabilise your denture, holding your teeth firmly in place.<\/p>\n

\"dental-dentures\"The problem with standard dentures<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dentures have been used for centuries to replace missing teeth. The modern versions are more comfortable and realistic in both appearance and function than ever before, but many denture wearers still experience a range of problems caused by loosening teeth.<\/p>\n

You may find yourself making frequent trips to your dentist to have your dentures adjusted, and may experience problems with being able to eat anything but soft foods, with speaking clearly, and with confidence in smiling and laughing in public because you fear your teeth could fall out.<\/p>\n

At our Richmond dental practice<\/strong> we find that denture stabilisation is an excellent way to stop these issues, restoring full functionality and boosting your self-confidence.<\/p>\n

The root problem with loose dentures is, in fact, just that \u2013 the roots, or rather, the lack of them. Traditional false teeth only replace the crowns of natural teeth; without the roots in place, the jaw bone starts to shrink back, and the gum tissue recedes. This in turn makes dentures that once fitted so well become increasingly loose, unwieldy, and uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

How dental implants help<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dental implants are bionic tooth roots. Made out of titanium, they are placed in direct contact with your jaw bone in a small oral surgical procedure, carried out here at our modern Richmond clinic. After a healing period of between two and six months, your implants will have formed a bond with your jaw bone akin to that of natural tooth roots, holding your dentures firmly in place.<\/p>\n

Denture stabilisation in Richmond<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

To stabilise your dentures, your dentist will place between two and six implants in your jaw bone under local anaesthetic or sedation. After the healing period, your denture will be attached to special attachments on top of your implants, giving you back all the functionality and aesthetic appearance of a natural set of teeth. You will once again be able to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
