    Vanessa took the plunge & got her All-On-Implants

    Choosing between implants and traditional dentures (false teeth) is more than a dental decision, it’s a lifestyle choice.

    Dentures can be seen as an easy solution , however they come with drawbacks. They often require messy adhesives (such as Polident) to stop them moving in the mouth, but many patients describe the embarrassment of having them falling and moving when speaking, laughing, or eating with friends and family.

    Dentures also lead to jaw bone loss as the bone is not stimulated with chewing forces, and can cause a sunken in look that makes patients look much older than they really are. Implants stimulate the bone similar to teeth, so a lot less bone shrinkage occurs.

    The benefits of implants

    Jaw health & facial preservation

    Stimulates the jaw bone, maintaining bone health and preserving facial structure, preventing changes overtime.

    Comfort and relief

    Offers enhanced comfort without the need for denture adhesive, and no dentures pushing down into the tender areas of your gum.

    A stable and fixed solution

    Anchors a full set of teeth on just 4 implants, providing stability that mimic natural teeth.

    Eating and chewing with confidence

    Allows a more natural bite and a wider range of food choices compared to dentures, enhancing the overall eating experience.

    Confidence enhancement

    Can result in a remarkable improvement in quality of life, providing a boost in confidence for many patients.
