What are Implant Dentures?
Implant dentures are implant supported dentures (plates). These implants are made of titanium in the shape of a small post, which is surgically inserted and fixed into the jaw. Then you can clip the denture onto the implants, which provides maximum stability. You will be able to eat anything and speak confidently, without your dentures moving.
What are the benefits of Implant Dentures?
With Implant Dentures, you don’t have to restrict your food choices. You can basically eat absolutely anything from now on. Best of all, you won’t have to deal with the embarrassment or discomfort of loose or badly-fitting dentures.
How long is the recovery time for dental implant procedure?
Shortly after the surgery, you should be able to go back to your normal routine. However, the implant needs to integrate with the bone and this usually takes 3- 4 months, with the healing time varying from patient to patient. We also offer mini dental implants which are ideal for implant dentures and perfect for those who do not have lots of bone left, they are less invasive, quicker to place and less expensive.
How often will I need to have my dental implants checked?
If your implant surgery went well and no complications developed, you can have your implants checked at your normal dental check-ups twice a year. It is also very important you see a hygienist regularly for the upkeep of your dental implants.
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
No, your dentist will apply an anaesthetic and you can even have IV sedation (deep relaxation) for the entire procedure if you wish.
