Denture Implants
Find out if denture implants are right for you
Improved denture stability and security
Many patients come to us with questions about denture implants and if this solution will work for them. For a lot of people, this proves to be a great option that gives them much more stability and confidence with their dentures.
How do denture implants work?
First, a dental implant (an artificial titanium root) is inserted into your jawbone to replace the natural root of a tooth.
Implants can be used to hold a single artificial tooth or a bridge of artificial teeth in place. If only one tooth needs to be replaced, then the single tooth is attached to the top of the implant. If several teeth need to be replaced ,then a bridge is fitted on top of two anchoring implants.
Are they right for me?
Dental implants are not for everyone. In order to get dental implants, you must be in good health, have healthy gums, and have enough bone in your jaws to support the implant. However, if your jawbone has shrunk or did not develop properly, you may be able to undergo a bone graft to sufficiently build it up so that you can get a dental implant.
When you meet with us during a free consultation at Northmount Denture Clinic, we can discuss this option and your specific case in detail.

A Common Question After Tooth Extraction
A common question after a tooth extraction is, “Why does it take six months to heal?”. The surface tissue heals faster than the underlying bone; as you can see, the root system is very deep and takes much longer to heal.
Mini Implants vs. Regular Denture Implants
Traditional denture implants are a great option for many patients. However, some patients suit mini implants (which are less invasive and require fewer appointments) best.
