Enjoy your natural smile in comfort with upper denture implants.
Dentures will change the way you eat, smile, speak and experience life. They give a new level of confidence that has often been lost for years.
Implants are a long term solution, and are definitely the preferred method among our clients. The implants or metal rods inserted into your jaw will last between 20 – 25 years, while dentures tend to last between 5 – 15 years.
How do upper denture implants work?
Phase 1: Implantation
This phase consists of 1-3 visits to the dentist. The procedure requires the dentist to make an incision into the gum, drill a small hole into the bone and insert the implant. It will take approximately 1-3 months for your jaw to heal and the implant to fuse to the bone.
Phase 2: Dentures
Once the implants are healed, the denture steps begin. The common steps include taking the first and secondary impressions, a bite registration, trying on the dentures, the final insertion, and follow-up. Your dentist will walk you through each step of this process.
Why use upper denture implants?
Upper denture implants are similar to traditional dentures but with added comfort of the denture being fastened more securely in place. This is done in a fast and painlessly procedure where metal rods are implanted into your upper jaw. A traditional upper denture or partial upper denture is custom made to clip onto the implants.
This allows for a better fit, superior comfort and improved longevity. It is a popular solution among clients who frequently remove their dentures from habit.
How much do upper denture implants cost?
The procedure for upper denture implants is simple, however, due to the intricacies of your individual biology and your medical factors, the cost can vary.
