Permanent dentures are dental implants that are permanently fixed into your jawbone, and a custom-made, removable denture simply clicks into place onto the implants. When you need to replace a complete row of upper or lower teeth, implant-retained dentures can be a convenient and comfortable solution.
Permanent dental implants do not require adhesives, and give additional security and eating comfort. Chewing force is transferred directly to the jaw instead of onto the gums like a traditional denture, making eating easier and more natural.
Here’s a look at what your treatment journey in Kettering involves, helping you regain comfort and confidence.
The full treatment journey for implant retained dentures typically takes a few months. This allows time for the titanium implants to integrate securely with your jawbone - a process called osseointegration - which usually takes 3 to 6 months. At our Kettering clinic, we carefully monitor your healing progress with regular check-ups to ensure the best long-term results before fitting your dentures.
Most patients in Kettering find they can return to normal activities within a few days of implant surgery. We recommend taking it easy for 48 to 72 hours after the procedure to minimise swelling and promote healing. Our team provides detailed aftercare advice and support, and we’re always available to answer any questions during your recovery.
While many patients benefit from implant supported dentures, suitability depends on factors such as jawbone density, gum health and overall medical history. During your consultation at our Kettering practice, our implant surgeons will conduct a thorough assessment - including 3D imaging - to determine if implant retained dentures are the right option for you.
Implant retained dentures offer enhanced stability, which means you can speak clearly and eat a wider variety of foods with confidence. Unlike traditional dentures that can slip, implants anchor your dentures firmly to your jaw, reducing discomfort and improving chewing efficiency. Many Kettering patients report a significant boost in both comfort and quality of life.
After your dentures are fitted, it’s important to maintain excellent oral hygiene to protect your implants and gums. We recommend regular check-ups at our Kettering clinic to monitor implant health and denture fit. Daily cleaning routines may include special brushes and rinses to keep the implants and gums healthy, ensuring your dentures last for many years.
