You Don't Have To Live With Dentures That Shift, Tilt, or Wander...
Eliminate denture problems with implant retained dentures!
For years denture wearers have had to put up with dentures that don’t stay in place. With implant retained dentures this problem can be a thing of the past.
At Cool Dental we have been helping patients with implant retained dentures for over 20 years but new techniques make it quicker and more affordable than ever.
All on 4’s or Implant retained dentures:
Implant retained dentures are sometimes called All on 4’s. This term comes from the number of implants often used to secure a full denture arch.
This method of securing your dentures uses the same type of implant that is used to replace individual teeth. You may need as few as 2 full implants to give you dentures that will transform the way you are able to eat and smile.
Once placed a small receptacle is inset into your denture that “snaps” onto the implant holding your dentures in place without slipping. No more messy pastes!
Your dentist will determine if you are a candidate for conventional implants depending upon the structure of the bone in your jaw and other factors. Full implants typically require a longer healing time than mini implants.
Advantages of Implant Retained Dentures
- Dentures are fastened directly to the jawbone making the denture very solid and function more like real teeth.
- No more pastes, tapes, or glues.
- Secured upper dentures mean no need for the plate covering the roof of your mouth. This restores the sensations and taste enjoyed before wearing dentures.
- Food no longer becomes trapped under dentures that now fit tightly to the gums reducing the bad breath caused by decaying food.
- Restored ability to smile without the fear of your dentures falling out.
- The ability to eat your favourite foods again like steak, apples and corn on the cob!
- Probably the most important advantage is the implants keep you from losing bone from your jaw.
What are my next steps?
Bone loss starts almost immediately after losing teeth. If you have been wearing dentures for very long it is likely you have significant bone loss. The sooner you get dental implants the less bone loss your dentist will need to deal with and the simpler the procedure will be.
