Take your dentures to the next level with dental implants
Restore your confidence and your smile
Denture implants offer another viable option for reclaiming your smile and your confidence. Your dentures can be kept in place with implants, and this takes away many concerns about eating, talking, and dentures slipping out of place.
Here’s how it works: Implants (or metal bases) are secured into the jaw where they will eventually fuse with your jaw bone to provide a strong and solid foundation for your dentures. Your dentures are then secured to the implants. One of the benefits of denture implants is they can help preserve the jaw bone from further deterioration. They provide a strong foundation for the dentures and ultimately become a permanent part of your jaw. Preserving the jaw bone can also help improve your facial structure.

Q&A
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are replacement tooth roots, and they provide a strong foundation for permanent or removable replacement dentures. The implants are placed within your jaw bone and when healed, become a permanent fixture in your jaw.
How painful is a denture implant?
You shouldn’t experience any pain during the dental implant procedure because you’ll be given anesthesia ahead of time. As it wears off, you will likely experience some discomfort, but there are things you can do to manage any pain. Your discomfort could depend on how involved the procedure is and how many implants are put in.
How long will dental implants last?
Even though nothing lasts forever, dental implants could last more than 20 years if you care for them properly. Dental implants are designed to be a permanent part of your jaw. They are used to support your dental structure and help your denture withstand chewing or biting because of its firm attachment to the jawbone.
Are dental implants safe?
Dental implants are considered a safe, well-established treatment for teeth replacement. Contemporary dental implants have been utilized by denturists for over 30 years, and they are typically made from titanium. Much like your natural teeth, they can last for as long as you care for them.
