Dental Implants & Dentures Burlington

If you are missing most or all of your teeth, you may be using a traditional pair of dentures to eat and chew properly. While these can work for some people, there are many downsides of removable dentures that can make them cumbersome and inconvenient.

Pearl Dental Burlington offers overdentures (or ‘snap on’ dentures) on dental implants to secure your dentures. Our dental implants will secure your denture, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence for years to come. If you’re looking for dental implants to secure your dentures in Burlington, you have come to the right place.

Types of Dental Implant Dentures

When looking at replacing many teeth or even an entire set, there are typically two different types of dental implant dentures in Burlington to choose from.

Regular Overdentures

The simplest solution for loose dentures involves the placement of just two dental implants. These “anchors” retain a bespoke set of teeth designed specifically for your mouth which are then able to be “snapped on” to the anchor and are held securely in place. When you wish to take them out for cleaning, they simple “snap off” of the anchors, ready to be washed. This treatment provides some of the convenience of traditional dentures while adding the security of dental implants as well. This treatment option with two dental implants is limited to the lower jaw.

Bar Overdentures

Another option for dental implant dentures in Burlington is ‘bar overdentures’. This involves placing three or four dental implants to which a bar is then attached. This provides additional stability with virtually no movement of the denture at all and can be performed for upper and lower dentures. The denture can still be removed for cleaning. While this procedure offers advantages over placing only two implants it has largely been replaced by non-removable denture solutions. For a similar cost it is possible to provide permanent fixed non-removable teeth using the all-on-4 procedure, popularly known as “new teeth in a day”.

Benefits of Dental Implants over Dentures

There are many significant benefits to getting dental implants in Burlington over conventional dentures. These can include:

More Securely Fitting

One of the biggest benefits comes in the form of an enhanced stability in your mouth.

Conventional dentures are molded to suit your jaw, however, as the jaw bone shrinks with age the dentures become more and more loose. This means that there are limits when it comes to denture fit, and they can often slip out of place, causing awkward chewing or difficulty speaking. This can make wearing them for extended periods of time uncomfortable and can create anxiety about them falling out at inopportune moments.

Dental implant dentures are a fantastic alternative to traditional dentures. The anchors of the dental implant denture are inserted directly into your jaw and provide a permanent attachment to your custom made teeth. This means you never have to worry about your teeth moving or falling out when you need them, improving quality of life and increasing confidence.

Improved chewing efficiency

Our Burlington Dental Implants will provide increased stability when chewing. Our patients are amazed at how many new foods they can eat and often report feeling more confident when eating socially at restaurants or events.

No need for Denture Adhesive

Since dental implants are inserted directly into your jaw and are permanently attached, there is no need for denture adhesive.

Conventional dentures often require special denture adhesive to properly stick in your mouth, which is an added expense and can leave an unpleasant taste. Dental implant dentures are securely attached so they do not require any extra adhesive. Our overdentures, which are designed to snap on and snap off when desired, are securely fastened to implanted roots, removing the need for adhesive.
