Denture stabilisation refers to the enhancement of denture fit and comfort through innovative techniques and materials.
This process typically involves the use of specialized attachments or implants that secure the dentures in place, preventing slippage or discomfort often associated with traditional removable dentures.
By anchoring the dentures securely to the jawbone, individuals experience increased stability during activities such as chewing and speaking. This not only enhances functionality but also promotes greater confidence and a more natural feeling, ultimately improving the overall quality of life for those relying on dentures.
Denture stabilization methods, such as specialized attachments or implants, provide a secure fit, minimizing slippage during daily activities like eating and speaking. This heightened stability enhances the functionality of dentures and boosts individuals’ confidence in their oral appliances.
The improved stability of denture stabilization contributes to enhanced comfort, providing a more natural and seamless experience. This increased comfort ultimately improves the overall quality of life for individuals relying on dentures.
Dentures can be secured using dental implants and their fit and function improved.This type of implant-supported denture is frequently referred to as an overdenture.
The overdenture is meant to be put on over a few strategically positioned dental implants that are surgically implanted in the jawbone.
The denture is then secured to the implants with unique attachments that allow the denture to snap onto the implants, providing a secure fit and preventing slippage or moving around in the mouth
Dentures supported by implants provide several advantages over regular dentures.
They are more sturdy and secure, allowing for improved chewing and speaking capabilities.
They also help to preserve the jawbone by stimulating it, which can help to prevent bone loss over time.
It’s crucial to understand that the process of receiving implant-supported dentures might take some time and requires multiple appointments with an implant surgeon.
Furthermore, some criteria must be met in order to be a good candidate for dental implants, such as adequate bone density and healthy gums.
Your dentist or can assess your unique condition and advise you on whether implant-supported dentures are a good option for you.

Dental implants are small fixtures placed under the gum to work as the roots of a missing tooth. A crown or artificial tooth is then fitted to match the rest of your teeth and improve your smile and bite. An implant can replace one tooth or multiple teeth for a healthy smile that looks and feels natural. Implants are a well-established, tried-and-tested treatment. Over 95 per cent of modern implants should last for over 10 years under the right care.
There are few options to replace missing teeth:
-Implants
-Bridges
-Dentures
In some cases, small gaps could be closed using braces instead of a tooth replacement.
The implants are made of a variety of materials but most commonly from titanium. Titanium is biocompatible with the jawbone and can be placed using a simple local anaesthetic. You will not feel any pain at the time, but you may feel some discomfort during the day or days after surgery. The implants need to integrate with the bone after they have been inserted. This takes usually 2-6 months, however sometimes the Implants are stable enough & artificial teeth can be attached immediately after placement (Immediate Implant).
In most cases a healing cap will be placed to protect the implant during healing phase & also contour the gum.
Once the implant is integrated, an abutment is fitted to hold the crown. The abutment and the base of the crown may be made of metal, however, to achieve a more natural look in particularly with the front teeth we recommend abutment & crowns made of solid porcelain (Implant Crown Options).
Like any other tooth restoration implants need the right care and cleaning to last for many years. We recommend twice yearly check-ups and hygienist sessions in addition to your daily routine care.
If you wear full dentures, then you can keep wearing these throughout the healing period once it has been modified after surgery.
Single Crowns and Bridges retained by implants will be fixed and only be placed and removed by the dentist. However, if you have a complete denture which is fixed to the implants (balls, locators or bars) then you’ll be able to take them out for cleaning.
All on 4 ( or all on 6 depends on clinical need) is a modern tooth replacement concept that we are specialised in. A fixed cosmetic dental bridge will be placed on 4-6 implants. The prosthesis is fixed and look like natural teeth.
In contrast to dentures which may move when chewing or become loose, fixed bridge is attached to implants, wont move and provides you with the confidence you deserve by eating and speaking.
The implants may be even angled at 30 to 450 to avoid nerves or sinuses. The all-on-4 implants have earned a nickname” teeth for a day” as the entire surgery process can be carried out within a day. Toothless individuals or those with hopeless teeth could benefit from fixed bridge retained on implants and enjoy a new gleaming smile.

Unless there are systemic contraindications and subject to bone availability, there is the chance to replace teeth with implants.
Implants can be placed only if the state of the bone (Quality & Quantity) in the jaw is reasonable. Your dentist will assess your mouth and if he finds out there is not enough bone, or if it is not healthy enough, the implant placement will be subject to additional process such as Guided Tissue Regeneration, Bone Grafting , Sinus Lift, Connective Tissue Graft, Ridge Expansion etc.
Most of these procedures could be prevented by Ridge preservation &utilizing right technique at the time of extraction, which saves the bone from damage, shrinkage & changes after an Extraction.
Bone Changes After Extraction.
As you see in the video the bone shrinks after an extraction. This shrinkage can be prevented or minimized in many cases by Ridge preservation and the right technique at the time of extraction as stated earlier, which saves the bone from shrinkage and makes placing an implant easier without grafting techniques.
Once a tooth is lost, the bone and gum will begin to recede. If you later decide to have an Implant fitted it may mean that the Implant would sit too high or the Crown would sit too low without a bone graft. This can be prevented in many cases by Ridge preservation & right techniques at the time of extraction which minimize the bone shrinkage & changes after an Extraction.
Solutions available when all teeth are missing or loose and hopeless:
-A fixed bridge can be attached to 4/6 Implants placed in the jaw. (all on 4/all on 6)
-A removable denture made & fixed by 2-4 Implants to your jaw.
-A conventional denture without any fixation element to the jaw.
The bone surrounding the tooth recedes in the weeks and months after removal.
The problems described above can be often avoided or limited given the right regenerative measures. Your dentist will advise you on treatment individually adapted for you.
