How Dental Implants Work and What They Can Do for You

Everybody wants their gorgeous smile to last into their golden years, but plenty of people are worried about their dentures shifting and slipping during meals or important conversations. Fortunately, our denture implants can make sure your dream smile stays in place for years to come.

Here is everything you need to know about our dental implant services.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are metal posts and appliances that are designed to look and feel like a real tooth. These implants are surgically attached to the jawbone to ensure their security and position, and are then capped with a porcelain tooth designed and shaped for the specific location.

Dental implants usually come in one of two forms, including:

• Removable Implant Dentures that are kept in place via friction and can be removed whenever required.
• Fixed Screw-Retained Dentures that are connected to the jaw and gums at all times with screws.

How Does The Process Work?

Whether you struggle with self-esteem, eating, communicating, or discomfort from ill-fitting dentures, our team at Expert Denture Clinic can help you create a smile you’ll want to show off to the world.

Our team starts by taking a detailed x-ray of your jaw bone to establish the best course of action and ideal location of the screws. We then perform a basic surgical procedure to install the screws before letting the jaw heal around the screws for 12 weeks.

Once the healing is complete, your custom-made porcelain teeth will then be attached to the screws, completing your smile and giving you a new burst of confidence.

How Are Dental Implants Different from Dentures?

Dental implants are designed to work alongside dentures and provide you with a compact and comfortable smile solution. Traditional dentures are used by more than 1 in 5 Canadians over 60, but many often report shifting or ill-fitting dentures that can lead to struggles when talking or chewing food.

By securing the dentures in place and sealing the gums from any food debris or liquids, our dental implants can lead to better oral health and a greater sense of confidence for all of our clients.

As people grow older and work hard to maintain their oral health, they may have important questions about their appliance options. Fortunately for our clients, our team at Expert Denture Clinic is passionate about providing the answers they need and the care they deserve.
