Fed up of that loose denture? Tired of avoiding social occasions or certain foods? These reasons and so much more are why more and more people are opting for secure and beautiful teeth with Click-tite dentures here at Seapoint Clinic. So, just how does it all work?

Essentially, your custom-made dentures are held into place using a series of dental implants, on average 4, which then clicks into place. Your Click-tite dentures then remain securely in place, but can be easily removed for cleaning. On average, it takes about 2 months to complete treatment, with your new dentures being fitted into place after your Click-tite implants have been given time to heal. But there's no need to worry, you won't be left without teeth at any stage of the healing process. 

Why choose Click-tite dentures?

Click-tite dentures are far more comfortable and secure than conventional dentures. Whereas a denture can come loose when laughing, chatting or eating, Click-tite dentures are held firmly in place. We are able to easily increase or decrease the amount retention for you to make sure they remain strongly held in place all the while being comfortable. The VHI will make a contribution to the cost of these in the lower jaw if you have no remaining teeth and struggle with dentures. They are also tax deductable.

If you still have some teeth present which need to be extracted, it is often possible to place these implants at the same time as the extraction is performed which makes the whole process even easier.If you decide later on that you would prefer to have fixed teeth it is usually possible to upgrade the implants to provide fixed teeth. This is not possible with mini implants as they are too small to support the additional forces.
