Losing one or more teeth can be a significant blow to your daily life. It affects not just your smile, but also your ability to eat, speak, and engage confidently in social interactions. Fixed dentures offer a revolutionary solution for those looking to restore their smile, function, and confidence after the loss of teeth.

Let’s explore the benefits and considerations of choosing fixed dentures in Chichester.

What are fixed dentures?

Dentures, while a traditional solution for missing teeth, often come with their own set of challenges. They can be awkward, cause discomfort, and even impact one’s self-esteem. Many individuals report difficulties in eating comfortably and a noticeable decrease in confidence due to their dentures.

Unlike traditional removable dentures, fixed dentures are permanently attached to the jawbone using dental implants. This method of attachment offers a multitude of benefits, ensuring that the dentures remain stable and secure in the mouth. 

The implants act as artificial roots, providing a strong foundation for the fixed dentures. These are also custom-designed to match the natural appearance of your teeth. This innovative solution is ideal for individuals who have lost teeth due to various reasons. These can include decay, injury, or disease, offering them a chance to regain a full set of functional and aesthetically pleasing teeth. 

“I write to express my great appreciation of your efforts to sort out my dental problems. You have been both kind and gentle in treating me. Your skill is exemplary and I could not wish for better care.”

The advantages of fixed denture implants

  •   Stability: The anchoring of dentures to the jaw with dental implants eliminates the issue of slippage. This offers unparalleled stability during daily activities like eating and speaking.
  •   Comfort: With no movement, fixed dentures feel more natural and comfortable in the mouth compared to traditional dentures.
  •   Natural look and feel: Custom-made to match your natural teeth, fixed dentures provide a seamless and natural appearance, enhancing your smile and facial aesthetics.
  •   Improved oral health: By stimulating the jawbone, dental implants prevent bone loss, promoting better oral health over the long term.
  •   Longevity: Though the initial cost might be higher, fixed dentures are a durable solution, potentially lasting a lifetime with proper care, thus offering better value in the long run.

The process for fixed dentures

Choosing to get fixed dentures with us in Chichester means you’re opting for a facility that values patient comfort. The process for implant retained dentures typically involves:

  •   Initial consultation: A thorough examination and discussion of your dental history, goals, and the specifics of fixed denture installation.
  •   Custom treatment plan: Development of a personalised treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and preferences.
  •   Implant placement: Surgical insertion of dental implants into the jawbone, serving as a foundation for the new teeth. This is a very straightforward process, which can be completed under local anaesthetic.
  •   Healing period: A waiting period of around 3 – 6 months to allow for the integration of the implants with the bone. We will fit temporary replacement teeth for you to have until your final appointment with us.
  •   Denture fabrication and fit: Custom creation and adjustment of the fixed dentures to ensure a perfect fit and natural look.
  •   Follow-up care: Regular check-ups to ensure the health and longevity of your fixed dentures.
