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 had a fantastic experience at Hest Bank Dental Care! I recently went in for a scale and polish, and Emma and Leah were absolutely brilliant. They were both friendly, professional, and made the whole appointment really comfortable and relaxed. What really impressed me was the extra care and attention to detail they took — not just in the cleaning itself, which was incredibly thorough, but also in helping me look after my teeth going forward. Emma took the time to show me the proper cleaning techniques to use at home, which I really appreciated. It made a big difference knowing I was leaving with both cleaner teeth and better knowledge on how to keep them that way. I’m genuinely so happy with the service I received. Thank you, Emma and Leah, for your fantastic work — I’ll definitely be coming back!

After a front tooth of mine began to move down and forward I discussed my options with Katie. I had bad gum disease, which never goes away but can be managed. With regular checkups and hygienist visits I have stabilised the condition and so chose to have the tooth extracted and replaced with a sticky bridge. I’m a nervous patient and Katie is very calming and patient. I’m so happy with the results, she has given me a lovely natural smile back, and my confidence.

I love going to the dentist anyway, so having my dental hygienist appointment with the fabulous Emma is always a pleasure and never a chore! Her nice nature and warm personality shines through as she examines, cleans and polishes my teeth. Emma provides practical advice and guidance too, to ensure you keep up with great dental hygiene. On my visit, she was supposed by Joanna, who was extremely patient. The pair of them clearly work well together. Great experience all round. Thank you!

I couldn’t recommend Sofia enough. She made me feel very at ease and is highly skilled and knowledgeable. Every step of my treatment was explained throughly and Sofia took the time to answer all my questions. Her attention to detail is unmatched! The entire team reflects the same standard of excellence and the practice is modern and clean.

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

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.
