Whether you are missing only one tooth or an entire arch or teeth, we can help you to find the best dental implant solution to suit your needs.
Why Consider Denture Alternatives?
For a long time, dentures were the only option to replace missing teeth. These tradiotional dentures can be:
- Unstable and insecure, moving when speaking or eating
- Uncomforable and bulky
- Causing sore spots or irritation on the soft tissue
- Difficult to clean and maintain
- Causing bone loss and shrinkage over time
These issues often lead patients to seek “dental implants instead of dentures”, “fixed teeth options” or “implant supported dentures” — all of which can offer greater comfort, function and confidence.
Best Implant Alternatives to
Traditional Dentures Dental Implants
Dental Implants
are artifical tooth roots crafted from titanium. They are placed into the bone and once the bone fuses to the implant, they create a very strong “root” to place an artificial tooth, bridge, or implant supported denture.
Benefits:
- Feels and functions like natural teeth
- Prevents bone loss and jaw shrinkage
- Long-term durability
Best for patients missing one or more teeth or wanting a permanent alternative to dentures.
Implant-Supported Bridges
An implant supported bridge is a permanent fixed solution to replace multiple teeth in one area without using the natural teeth as abutments.
Benefits:
- Fixed, permanent, and durable
- Look and feel just like your natural teeth
- No effect on neighbouring teeth - no prep or drilling healthy teeth
- Quickly replace multiple teeth with one simple treatment.
