Implant Retained Dentures

Implant retained dentures harness the power of 2 – 6 tactically placed implants, to secure a full arch of dentures in position. A cost-effective alternative to conventional implants, they are popular with patients who have multiple missing teeth.

What can I expect from treatment?

We will invite you to the practice for an initial consultation, where we can assess your suitability for implant retained dentures and discuss your expectations of treatment. Following this, we will take impressions, X-rays and photographs of your teeth, so we can create your dentures, identify where the implants will sit and surgically place them. Once the implant is placed, it is left to fuse with your jawbone, becoming a permanent part of you. As implants are made from titanium, they are highly biocompatible, welcomed by your body as if they were a real tooth root. We will then invite you back to have your dentures fitted over the top.
