IMPLANT-RETAINED DENTURES

WHAT ARE IMPLANT-RETAINED DENTURES?

Implant-retained dentures provide remarkable retention, comfort and stability when supported by dental implants.

Dr Adam Patel is a leading UK expert in the field of full jaw and teeth reconstruction with implants. Dental implants are permanently fixed into your jawbone, and a custom-made, removable denture simply clicks into place onto the implants. This is a million miles away from a conventional denture as it affords extraordinary retention. Chewing force is transferred directly to the jaw instead of onto the gums like with a traditional denture – allowing you to eat, chew and smile with utmost confidence.

When you need to replace a complete set of upper or lower teeth, implant-retained dentures are an affordable aesthetic and comfortable solution. Implant retained dentures do not require adhesives and provide additional security whilst eating allowing you to eat almost anything and live life to the fullest.

THE DENTAL IMPLANT JOURNEY – STAGES FOR FULL ARCH IMPLANTS

LOWER JAW IMPLANT RETAINED DENTURES

In the lower jaw we typically place four implants with locator attachments to which your custom-made bespoke denture is attached for excellent retention.

UPPER JAW IMPLANT RETAINED DENTURES

In the upper jaw we typically place four implants which are splinted with a custom milled bar due to the upper jawbone being softer than the lower jawbone. Your custom-made bespoke denture is attached to the bar for superior retention.
