Patient helped to eat again with implant fixed denture! -Case by Neelam Patel

This gentleman came into dental elegance in quite an unhappy state. He had many broken and missing lower teeth and was really struggling to eat. He already had an upper full plate which he was happy with. He was really worried about having a lower denture as he knew that they can really be difficult to wear. When I looked at his mouth all his remaining lower teeth were in a bad way and would need removing. Treatment options were discussed including a standard denture -but this would be very loose. The patient opted to have 2 implants placed and then to have a denture that would fix onto the implants with magnetic attachments. The photos below show the before during and after results. The patient is delighted with his new lower denture which does not move or lift off as would a normal denture. In-fact he was able to eat foods he had not previously been able to. He now has a beautiful set of natural looking teeth which do not rub or move around when he eats.

Are you one of the many patients who have loose , uncomfortable dentures? Are you fed up with not being able to chew properly and needing to use lots of messy denture fixatives just to keep your denture still? Then we may be able to help you. At dental elegance we can resolve your denture problems by placing simple implants upon which your denure can be clipped or fixed on. The pictures you see below are of a patient who we helped recently. The patient could not tolerate his loose lower denture so he had 2 dental implants placed simply under local anaesthetic. We then made a beautiful overdenture that is clipped onto the head of the implants. The patient was amazed with the result and he can now eat, talk and laugh with confidence.

Immiediate replacement of teeth with All-on-4 implant supported bridge

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 16:21:39 +0000

If you have teeth that are destined for removal or dentures that you cannot get on with a new technology has been develpoed called All-on-4 implants to provide you immiediate replacement teeth.

With this method complex grafting and sinus surgery is avoided with 4 implants positioned at the front of the mouth upon which an acrylic bridge is fixed on the same day as implant placement. This can later be used as a spare /temporary bridge when eventually a highly aesthetic bridge with porcelain teeth will be made that is supported by the All-on-4 implants.

An elderly lady from Sidcup attended our Practice Dental Elegance recently complaining of a loose denture and unable to eat properly . We made her a beautiful new upper full denture which fitted perfectly from two sets of impressions and accurate bite measurements. She was so pleased with her new denture which for the first time in a long while felt comfortable, tight and looked natural.
