Denture Stabilisation

If your dentures are loose or poorly fitted, your ability to chew and speak may be impaired. Due to advances in dentistry, there is now a procedure by which dental implants can be used to secure a denture to the mandible.

This treatment, known as implant overdentures or denture stabilisation, offers denture-wearing patients a more permanent solution and can considerably enhance their quality of life. You will once again be able to appreciate your favourite foods and smile with confidence, knowing that your dentures will remain in place. Here's how it operates:

1. To have implants inserted in your jaw, surgery will be required.

2. After the implants have integrated with the bone and adjacent tissues for a period of time, your dentures are secured to the implants using a variety of specialised attachments.

3 .This indicates that your dentures can still be removed for cleansing, but will remain in place once inserted.
