Implant Secured Dentures

Think of them as dentures that clip onto implants anchored in your jawbone rather than resting on your gums. That connection is what keeps them from shifting around when you eat or talk.

Traditional dentures sit on the gum tissue and can loosen over time, especially on the lower jaw. Implant-secured dentures stay locked in place because they’re attached to the implants directly, which also helps slow the bone loss that comes with missing teeth.

If you’ve lost most or all of your teeth and have enough bone left to hold implants, probably yes. At Burton Advance Dental, we’d need to take some images first to be sure, as bone volume varies a lot from person to person.

The placement is performed under anaesthesia, so you won’t feel it. Afterwards, there’s typically some soreness and mild swelling for a few days, nothing that over-the-counter pain relief and the aftercare instructions can’t handle.

The implants themselves can last decades with decent care. The denture piece that attaches to them sees more wear and may need a reline or replacement down the road.

Brushing around the implants daily and keeping up with checkups goes a long way toward preventing gum irritation. If you approach our dentist in Burton for implant-secured dentures, they will show you the specifics once your denture type is decided.
