Denture Stabilisation
DENTURE STABILISATION IS A PROCESS THAT IS REQUIRED WHEN YOUR GUM AND BONE TISSUE HAS SHRUNK IN SIZE AS A RESULT OF WEARING DENTURES FOR A LONG TIME. OVER TIME, AS THE BONE AND GUM TISSUE SHRINK, THE DENTURES CAN BECOME LOOSE AND YOU MAY EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH SPEAKING AND EATING, AS WELL AS A DEGREE OF PAIN AND DISCOMFORT CAUSED BY WEARING POORLY FITTING DENTURES..
By far the most effective method of denture stabilisation is to have dentures that are supported by dental implants. Dental implants are titanium rods that hold new dental bridges, dentures and crowns in place, providing much greater retention and security than other types of denture and will improve your ability to eat and speak, as well as ensuring you have a great looking, healthy smile.
Both removable and fixed dentures can be supported by dental implants. A whole set of dentures can be anchored by just a few dental implants, making it less expensive than having a complete set of dental implants and new crowns.
