Solutions To Your Denture Crisis

Are you struggling with a denture, a partial denture or missing most of your teeth?

If you have answered ‘yes’ then we have 3 possible solutions depending on your concerns and your goals.

Here’s Clinical Director, Mark Skimming, to explain…

Introducing Option 1 – Fixed Teeth

The most popular option. It’s a horseshoe shape. There’s no plate, nothing covering the roof of your mouth. You don’t have issues of taste. It feels as close to natural teeth as can possibly be achieved with a full jaw of implants.

What we can do is put implants in, generally in the morning, and then in the afternoon we can fit some teeth for you. We refer to that as ‘fast and fixed’ teeth in a day.

We usually start with a temporary bridge, something that would last for a few months before we look to making something called ‘the definitive bridge’. This is where we go through the smile design process and really get something looking exactly the way you would like it.

The real benefit of fixed teeth is that you can chew, you can smile, you can just get on with your life. It really is a fantastic option if you are either missing or beginning to lose quite a few teeth.

Introducing Option 2 – Telescopic Bridge

Option number two is what we call a ‘telescopic bridge’. This is something that is removable, but it only comes out on command. It will not come out when you are speaking, it will not come out when you are eating and socialising with your friends.

The benefit of this is again you don’t have that plate covering over the roof of your mouth. Being removable it’s very, very easy to keep nice and clean.

It’s also good for those who feel that when they take their denture out there is not enough support for their lip, and feel their face is maybe looking a bit collapsed. We can bulk areas up that help support the face a bit more.

Furthermore, this option can really change how you can socialise with your friends, and live your life without having to worry about a denture moving about or teeth breaking down and becoming painful.

Introducing Option 3 – Implant Retained Denture

An implant retained denture involves the bottom jaw generally having between 2 and 4 implants placed, and in the top jaw between 4 and 6 implants. Once the implants are in place the denture essentially just clips into place, and once it clips in it’s nice and rigid.

The option of an implant retained denture is a significant improvement compared to the traditional denture, however, there is still a little rock and slight movement.

In addition, over time the inserts will get a bit of wear on them, and the denture won’t be held in quite as well. These are very quick and easy to replace and are not expensive.

Denture Problems

The real problem for some people, particularly those who have had dentures since they were in their twenties, is that they have been wearing a denture for a long time and now they just can’t tolerate it.

Let me explain. Many people will feel that the denture is jiggling, which affects confidence. You stop eating out with your friends. You stop socialising. But a couple of implants in the bottom jaw can make a significant improvement. Everything just clips into place and lets you get on with your life and function with a denture the way you want.

How To Find Out More

If you are interested in finding out more about these options, we really need to see you to determine what it is that you are looking for and what it is that you want to achieve through your treatment. We invite you to come in and see one of our smile advisors for a complimentary consultation.

Your smile advisor will be able to take you through some options, and if you decide that you are happy with those we would get you in with one of our dentists, who would then go through a full assessment with you. This is where we can look at everything, take some x-rays, possibly some scans too, then discuss everything. You will see that everything has been road-mapped out for you before you decide that you are happy enough to go ahead.

My first filling for 40 years today so I was understandably a little anxious. Rami and Olivia put me at my ease and I was well looked after throughout the procedure. Experienced no pain at all and the job was completed swiftly and superbly. A well spotted early intervention by Rami at my recent regular examination that no doubt will have saved me some pain and perhaps more extensive work in the future. Thank you again!

I can’t thank Rami and the staff at Cherrybank enough for the treatment i received! From the warm welcome I got from the ladies on reception to the professional pain free treatment from Rami. I had multiple silver fillings replaced with composite fillings to make my teeth look more natural again and the results are everything I could have imagined! Thanks rami and Olivia! Great work!

Delighted with my treatment and in particular my dental bridge. Rammy is extremely professional and provides a detailed explanation on what is happening. All treatment pain free and dare I say almost enjoyable!! Thanks also to his dental nurses who are very reassuring and professional.

Rami was incredibly reassuring and helpful, and definitely put me at ease during my visit. He explained the procedure in terms I could understand, and made sure that I was comfortable the whole way through. His assistant Olivia was also very helpful and gentle. All in all, a star team, and I would certainly come back again in the future, thanks so much for your patience and for putting me at ease.

I can not recommend this place enough. The staff are all amazing and so friendly, the help they offer for understanding and comfort just makes the experience all the better.As someone who has never liked the dentist before I can honestly say after today I dont have the same anxieties about booking further appointments or going. Their statement of pain free dentistry is true ... I had multiple drills in my mouth today and the most I felt was a bit of pressure here and there or slight vibrations. They make the appointment all about you, with amazing small added touches like massage pads, head phones and my favourite was the lip balm - such a small thing but who doesn't get dry lips at the dentist!! If you're looking for a new dentist who actually cares about and not just your teeth then give these guys a call.
