What are implant retained dentures?

Implant retained dentures are full or partial dentures that are securely fixed onto 2 to 6 dental implants placed into your jawbone. These implants act as artificial tooth roots, holding your dentures firmly in place, so they won't move when you eat, speak or smile.

Whether you need to replace a few teeth or a full arch of ten to twelve teeth, this solution offers long-term comfort and function, without the need for denture adhesives.

Benefits of implant retained dentures

  • Improved chewing power: Enjoy a wider range of foods without fear of your dentures shifting or breaking.
  • Natural-looking results: Custom-designed to blend with your features, your new smile will look and feel like your own.
  • Enhanced taste and comfort: With less denture base covering the roof of your mouth, you’ll find eating more enjoyable and food more flavourful.
  • Bone preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss, which is a common issue with traditional dentures.
  • Stable and secure fit: No more slipping, rubbing or sore spots.

What to expect from permanent denture treatment

At Stoke Bishop Dental Centre here in Bristol, we ensure every step of your implant and denture journey is comfortable, transparent and tailored to you.

1. Initial consultation

We’ll assess your oral health and jawbone density using advanced imaging. If necessary, we can recommend bone grafting to prepare the area for implants.

2. Treatment planning

Photographs, impressions or digital scans will be taken to design your custom dentures. We’ll also determine the optimal placement of your implants.

3. Implant placement

Between 2 and 6 implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone. This is typically done under local anaesthetic, with sedation options available for anxious patients.

4. Healing & integration

Over a few months, your implants will fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This provides a stable foundation for your new smile.

5. Denture fitting

Once healed, your custom-made dentures are securely attached to the implants. You’ll leave with a firm, comfortable and natural-looking smile.

 

Recovery & aftercare

To ensure long-term success, we’ll support you with a detailed post-treatment plan:

  • Diet: Stick to a soft diet initially to protect healing implants
  • Oral hygiene: We’ll guide you on cleaning your dentures and maintaining implant health
  • Medications: Follow any prescribed treatments to manage discomfort and reduce infection risk
  • Follow-ups: Attend regular appointments to monitor healing and adjust dentures for the perfect fit

Healing usually takes a few months. During this period, avoid intense physical activity and follow all care instructions to ensure the best outcome.

Recovery & aftercare

Already wearing dentures?

We can convert your existing dentures into an implant-supported version, which is particularly beneficial if you're experiencing loose or painful lower dentures. This is a popular and cost-effective way to upgrade your smile without starting from scratch.
