Dental procedure offers confidence boost for thousands of denture wearers

Being able to eat what you want and being able to talk and smile with confidence may be a given for most people, but for hundreds of thousands of denture wearers it is something that doesn’t always come naturally.

Queensway Dental Clinic, one of Teesside’s leading dental practices, is promoting the benefits of a new revolutionary procedure, which provides permanent stable dentures. The new Mini Dental Implants act much like the root of the tooth, fixing the dentures firmly in place providing long-term supporting structures. Made from titanium, the mini implants can be fitted quickly and the procedure is non-invasive and pain free.

The Mini Dental Implant treatment stabilises dentures, giving the wearer greater freedom by preventing the denture from dislodging, avoiding a potentially embarrassing situation.  In addition, once fitted the wearer does not need to remove their dentures for cleaning and can simply brush their teeth as normal, saving time and helping to achieve a higher standard of general oral health. The mini implants can be fitted to both lower and upper dentures and the procedure typically lasts 90 minutes.

Queensway is one of only two dental practices in the Tees Valley able to offer the service. Dr. Ian Lane, partner at Queensway Dental Clinic commented: “Many people suffer a great deal of discomfort due to loose or ill-fitting dentures or simply cannot tolerate dentures. As a result, everyday tasks like eating and talking can prove difficult, which can have a detrimental impact upon people’s quality of life. With Mini Dental Implants, the wearer can be confident that their dentures are secure and stable. The patient can visit the dentist in the morning and have their new implants placed in time for lunch. Moreover, the treatment is an affordable and less invasive alternative to traditional implants.

“Over the last 25 years, dental implants have advanced significantly and have improved hundreds of thousands of people’s lives across the country. While we have identified over 400 of our existing patients that would benefit from the treatment and we would encourage people with dentures to contact us for a free consultation, as the new mini implants could make a big difference to their lives.”

Mary Sanderson, 59 years old from Saltburn, had her Mini Dental Implants fitted three months ago at Queensway Dental Clinic having suffered loose fitting lower dentures for eight years. Mary comments: “I suffered from my lower dentures constantly coming loose, stopping me from eating what I wanted and falling out at extremely embarrassing times. I eventually made the decision to get the Mini Dental Implants and since the treatment my life has completely changed, as I have more confidence and never need to worry about my teeth anymore. It was worth every penny and I’d recommend the procedure to anyone. I’m actually going back in March to get my upper implants fitted.”
