Denture stabilisation with dental implants

Serving patients throughout Hest Bank, Morecambe and Lancaster

Many patients with no remaining teeth or teeth that need removal, do not want to wear conventional removable dentures. These traditional dentures can become uncomfortable and loose over time as the jawbone shrinks causing eating and speech problems.

We offer an alternative solution at Hest Bank Dental Care using the latest technology and techniques that can change your life. Using dental implants to securely fix a denture in place we can recreate your natural smile with teeth that feel just like your own, restoring both your smile and your quality of life.

Dental implants help to maintain your facial structures by preserving the remaining bone in your jaws. This minimises wrinkles around the mouth by restoring lost lip-support and markedly improves your ability to chew. With dental implants, you can eat whatever you want and enjoy your food again!

Our implant dentist, Pinar Akman or Jonathan Tolson will carefully place titanium implants into the jaw to replacing some of the original roots. Between 4 to 8 implants are needed to securely fix a denture in place.

The dental implants then need to be left for a short time for the bone and gum to heal around them before they can support the final denture. This can take between 3 to 6 months. Once that happens, the titanium becomes one with the bone around it, making the foundation for your denture extremely strong and stable. Pinar or Jonathan will then carefully craft and fit your replacement denture, ensuring it blends perfectly with your natural smile.

At Hest Bank Dental Care we can assist with all implant cases, from the simplest to the most complex. Our patients have the peace of mind that they can access progressive technology and benefit from a wealth of experience from our implant dentist, Pinar or Jonathan.

The benefits of implants

  • Implants look and feel just like natural teeth – you shouldn’t notice any difference.
  • With dental implants, replacement teeth are securely anchored without compromising any neighbouring healthy teeth.
  • Implants won’t come loose or fall out.
  • Implants prevent ageing bone loss, by stimulating your bone structure and stabilising the surrounding teeth.
  • Implants can last for many years if you maintain good oral hygiene.

Are you suitable for treatment?

Patients must have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support dental implants. At your initial consultation Pinar or Jonathan will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.

Some patients may need to see a hygienist for a course of treatment to ensure their gums are strong and healthy before the dental implant process can begin.

Pinar or Jonathan will also check that there is sufficient bone for an implant to be placed successfully at this initial consultation. If there is insufficient bone you may need to need pre-treatment before your dental implants can be placed. This may include oral surgery procedures such as bone grafting, bone expansion or sinus lifts.

To find out more about how dental implants could transform your life, give us a call on 01524 825218 to book a consultation with Pinar or Jonathan today!

I cannot thank you enough!! Arne, Emma and all of the nurses and receptionists at Hest Bank dental. You are all assisting me in helping me get my teeth back to where they should be and also my confidence in returning to the dentist after 8 years! Thank you so much. I would also like to thank you for letting me document it all on TicTok!!

I highly recommend Hest Bank dental practice, they are always professional and approachable. With good honest preventative advice and quality treatment. The staff seem genuinely happy to work at the practice and are always polite and helpful. It is a very slick operation between hygienist and dentist and I personally can’t speak highly enough about my own dentist Pinar. Keep up the good work guys and continue to enjoy what you do. Thanks Nathan Seward

I got treated by Dr. Sofia Dias, she was so professional and quick, i had a broken fixed retainer and she provided the best treatment. Friendly staff as well!

Currently using a pseudonym, however the details below are accurate. I have been under Pinar for several years (that sounded way less naughty in my head) and she has often gone out of her way to provide me with excellent service. As an example, she rushed through my denture order so I would have them for my graduation photo. She is always professional yet empathetic and has a warm calming manner. This helps when you are a big scardie cat like me. All procedures are explained in a manner I can understand and Pinar is very patient with my often daft questions. All members of staff I have encountered from dental nurses to reception staff have been nothing less than a delight at every juncture. So thank you to all of the staff for outstanding treatment, and whoever is doing the customer service training, keep doing what you are doing. I would not hesitate in recommending Hest Bank Dental Care to friends and family alike. As you slide down the banister of life May the splinters never point the wrong way Noel

Absolutely fantastic dentists, the whole team is amazing, my dentist is Pinar and she has managed to take away my anxiety of dental visits completely! Always polite, professional and so friendly. The receptionists are lovely and the waiting area I find very calming. The team at the hygiene suite on the corner are excellent too. Overall I couldn't be happier with the treatment I have recieved, never disappointed.

I am apprehensive about going to the dentist surgery, however the situation is eased enormously by the manner of all the staff here. They are friendly, good humoured, courteous and explain procedures at all times. It makes the visit so much more comfortable.

Though professional and extremely competent the hygienists Helen and Emma are very friendly and help to ensure that the patient is relaxed and happy. I have a choking phobia and although they don’t emphasise this I know they are taking it into account with their care. Thank you both Julie
