If you’ve had the misfortune of losing all or most of your teeth (a condition called edentulism), you still have effective options for restoring lost form and function to your mouth. At Accurate Denture Clinic Ltd., we provide dentures over implants with convenience and quality . Dentures over implants can be the ideal solution when all or several teeth are missing in the upper or lower jaw. Once the implants are placed into your jaw, the denturist will temporarily fit your dentures over the implants until the bone and the implant have integrated, this is known as the healing period. After the healing period the denturist will secure the denture through final restoration. We have four denture clinics conveniently located in Langley, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and Sardis to serve you. Book an appointment today.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots inserted into your jaw bone. Made of titanium, they are meant to replicate the functioning of your natural tooth root. A dental implant allows an artificial tooth or set of teeth to be attached to it. Dental implants for dentures eliminate the problem of loose and unstable dentures and offer enhanced stability.
Our denturists assess your teeth, your dental history and overall health to determine whether dental implants for implant retained dentures are right for you. We then refer you to a local oral surgeon for the implant surgery.
Generally, most people in good oral and overall health are suitable candidates for the procedure. Additionally, healthy gums and enough bone in the jaw are two more prerequisites for getting dental implants. However, some conditions will require further examination to determine suitability for the procedure, including:

Implant-supported dentures are a suitable option to provide more support for lost or missing teeth. We offer different types of dentures over implants, including:
Patients who require dentures often worry about their dentures slipping, becoming loose, or falling out while performing normal activities like talking and eating. Implant supported dentures address these issues. A removable type of denture over the implant will not move or disengage from the dental implants with regular movements like eating or speaking. It can also be removed for cleaning.
Implant-supported dentures can permanently replace a full set of teeth while preventing bone loss. Dental implants are anchored strongly into the living bone tissue to provide the required support and prevent the loss of the bone. Fixed implant supported dentures are safely and easily anchored by several dental implants that become an integral part of your jawbone once inserted. These types of dentures are fabricated and installed in cooperation with a dental surgeon.
We can also offer the “All-on-Four” procedure where four or more dental implants are placed to support a full dental arch. Ultimately, the decision for the type of denture over implant is up to you and the oral surgeon.
For those with missing teeth, dentures over implants offer many advantages that restore the functioning of your teeth. Some of the benefits of implants include:
Stability during eating
Increased preservation of bone
Decreased gum tissue shrinkage
Less food seepage under the denture
Superior esthetics
Social interactions accomplished with confidence
A feeling close to that of your natural teeth
Dietary nutritional benefits
