Implant Retained Dentures

This is because they provide a much more comfortable experience than traditional dentures and can help maintain the health and structure of the jaw.

What are implant-retained dentures?

Unlike traditional dentures, implant-retained dentures use titanium screws implanted into your jawbone to hold your denture or dentures in place.

How are implant-retained dentures fitted?

First, we have to implant the titanium screws into your jaw. We’ll then have to wait a few months for your jawbone to fully fuse with the implants. At this point, we can then apply the new prosthetics to the titanium ‘pegs’. We will fit you with temporary prosthetics in the meantime.

How long does the process take?

The whole treatment can take between four and seven months.

How long do implant-retained dentures last?

The titanium screws are designed to last for up to 15 years. Most dentures last for around seven years.
