Snap In Dentures
Click-tite dentures involves wearing a specially made denture which is then securely yet comfortably anchored into place using a series of dental implants. The benefits of opting for Click-tite snap in dentures is that they won't come loose while eating, chatting or laughing and can still be easily removed for cleaning. If you're tired of wearing an ill-fitting denture or require a few teeth extracting and are considering a denture, Click-tite is the ideal solution for you.
Your implants can even be placed at the time of extraction, making for a faster treatment. On average, we can make and fit your final dentures just 2 months after your implants are placed. There's no need to worry, you won't be left without teeth at any time throughout the healing process. Click-tite snap in dentures will also maintain your jaw bone around the implants, ensuring you will continue to enjoy a strong jaw bone and dental security. They also reduce negative facial profile changes that normally occur without implants.
In some cases, VHI will make a contribution to the cost of dentures in the lower jaw if you have no remaining teeth and struggle with dentures. They are also tax deductible.
The Benefits of Click-tite
- Easier Eating- Dentures without dental implants can often move about and can cause soreness while eating. With dental implants, your denture is kept firmly yet comfortably in place.
- Improved Comfort- Click-tite dentures are more secure than regular dentures. As your dentures are secured by implants, they won't jostle while you speak.
- Better Tasting- With Click-tite dentures there is no more sticky denture adhesives. Patients often tell us how awful the taste and feel of denture adhesives is in their mouth.
- Improved Appearance- Reduce premature ageing by maintaining more jawbone with implants.
- Improved Oral Health- Less damage to gum tissue from movement. With implants this is minimised.
