What is Denture Stabilisation?
If you have loose or ill-fitting dentures, your ability to eat and speak may become affected. Due to advances in dentistry, there is now a procedure whereby your denture can be fixed to your jaw with dental implants.
This treatment, known as implant overdentures or denture stabilisation, offers patients with dentures a more permanent solution and can improve quality of life significantly.
You will be able to enjoy your favourite foods again and feel comfortable smiling, safe in the knowledge that your dentures are staying put.
Here is how it works
You will require surgery to have the implants placed into your jaw.
Once the implants have integrated with the bone and surrounding tissues for a period of time, your dentures are placed on top of the implants through a range of special fixtures.
This means your dentures can still be removed for cleaning, but will stay put once in place.
Life Benefits
- Enjoy a natural-looking smile and improved confidence in public.
- Experience less irritation of your gums caused by dentures and you don’t need to take your teeth out at night.
- You can eat, chew and bite without your dentures falling out or having to stick to a soft food diet for the rest of your life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Denture Stabilisation
What is denture stabilisation?
Denture stabilisation is a treatment that uses dental implants to secure loose or uncomfortable dentures in place. Instead of relying solely on the gums for support, the dentures are attached to implants in the jawbone, helping to reduce movement and improve overall comfort, function, and confidence when speaking or eating.
How does denture stabilisation work?
The process involves placing a small number of dental implants into the jawbone. Once the implants have healed, special attachments are used to connect the denture securely to the implants. This allows the denture to remain firmly in place while still being removable for cleaning and maintenance.
Who is suitable for denture stabilisation?
Denture stabilisation is suitable for many patients who struggle with loose dentures or discomfort while eating and speaking. It is often recommended for those who want better stability without moving to a full fixed implant solution. A clinical assessment is required to confirm suitability based on oral health and bone support.
What are the benefits of denture stabilisation?
The benefits include improved stability, increased comfort, better chewing efficiency, and greater confidence in daily life. Denture stabilisation can also help reduce gum irritation and make dentures feel more secure, allowing patients to enjoy a wider range of foods without worrying about movement.
How do I find out if denture stabilisation is right for me?
Suitability for denture stabilisation is assessed during a detailed consultation. At this visit, your current dentures, gum condition, and bone support will be carefully evaluated to determine whether implant-supported stabilisation can improve comfort and function. The procedure, expected benefits, and long-term outcomes will also be discussed in detail.
