Denture Implants in London and Strathroy at Gillooly Denture Clinics
Denture technology has come a long way and offers patients a suitable alternative to missing teeth. However, dentures can still be uncomfortable and interfere with eating and tasting your food and your ability to speak clearly, which can lead to a lack of confidence. At Gillooly Denture Clinics, we are denturists specializing in denture implants at our London and Strathroy offices, making every effort to stay current with the types of implants available.
A denture implant is a biocompatible, artificial tooth root made of titanium to which your bone will attach itself, providing a natural-looking crown for the support you had with your natural teeth. Implants are known to increase stability, function, and aesthetics, and preserve the integrity of the bone.
They are permanent and easy to maintain, and eliminate unnecessary movement and pain associated with dentures. Contact our team today to learn more or to schedule an appointment.
Implants Are an Investment in Your Health
When teeth are missing, the surrounding bone begins to shrink. This unhealthy bone loss can hinder denture stability, and your face shape can begin to change. Denture implants can help prevent deterioration of the jawbone.
