Implant-Supported Dentures in Reading

Stabilising dentures with innovative implant solutions.

While conventional dentures provide an affordable solution to missing teeth, the most common complaint is that they’re uncomfortable, making simple tasks like speaking and eating challenging. Here at Reading Dental Spa, we have the solution – implant-supported dentures.

By securing custom dentures with just a few implants, patients have a fully stable, fully secure alternative to traditional appliances.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Often referred to as ‘snap-on’ or ‘clip-on’ dentures, implant-supported appliances work the same way as traditional dentures, providing a fully removable or, in some cases, a fixed structure that provides immediate functionality and aesthetics.

The key difference is that where conventional dentures rely on a combination of structural anatomy and adhesive to keep them in place, implant-supported appliances (as the name suggests) are supported using just 4 dental implants in the upper jaw and 2 in the lower jaw, making them a cost-effective alternative to full-arch rehabilitation.

Essentially, implant-supported dentures here in Reading, offer a middle ground between traditional dentures that sit on the gum line and a full arch implant restoration.

If you want a more stable and secure solution to traditional dentures but don’t want the hefty bill that comes with full-arch restorations, talk to us about how implant-supported dentures can help, today!

Benefits Of Implant-Supported Dentures

• Improved stability – With implants acting as anchors, dentures are guaranteed to stay secure and in position.
• Greater comfort – Say goodbye to chafing and rubbing that most denture wearers are familiar with. Our implant-supported dentures here in Reading provide complete stability with zero movement for greater comfort and peace of mind.
• Better quality of life – Since implant-supported appliances offer full stability, you won’t have any embarrassing slippages when you eat or speak. Instead, you can expect a beautiful, natural-looking, hassle-free smile that won’t let you down.
• Bone preservation – Because traditional dentures are not secured into the jaw they won’t halt bone loss. Implants, on the other hand, help to stimulate the jawbone, preventing further bone deterioration.
• Long-lasting solution – With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last for many years. This is not the case with traditional dentures that need regular replacement.
• No dietary changes – Unlike conventional dentures that require you to avoid many of the hard or crunchy foods you love, implant-supported appliances allow you to eat whatever you want without dietary restriction.

The Treatment Process Explained

Once we’re sure you have sufficient remaining bone, our experienced dentist will place the implants during a single appointment. This is normally done under a local anesthetic so you won’t feel a thing.

Sometimes there will be a short wait of around 2-3 months to allow the implants to fully stabilise in the jaw. In the interim, you can continue to wear your existing appliance.

Once the implants have integrated into the jaw, we’ll attach your custom-made prosthesis.
