Denture Stabilisation Explained
These implants are made from titanium alloy and inserted into the jawbone, allowing integration with the bone to take place.
New or existing dentures will sit comfortably over the implants during the healing process The procedure is minimally invasive and performed in the dental surgery under local anaesthesia. After treatment a mild painkiller may be taken if there is any discomfort, but this will soon pass and a soft diet can be eaten within hours of leaving the dental surgery.
Common Questions
What are Dental Implants?
OsteoCare Dental Implants are titanium alloy screws, which firmly attach to the jawbone, replacing the roots of missing teeth.
Why Have Dental Implants?

What About Dental Implant Aftercare?
As with natural teeth, implants will require very thorough cleaning for best results.
Daily cleaning requires removing the denture and brushing around the implants to remove any food or plaque. Brushing also stimulates blood flow and promotes healthy gum tissue. Complying with the dentist’s post-operative instructions and maintaining dental hygiene are important factors in ensuring long-term success of the treatment.
