What are Implant Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are specialised oral prosthetics that attach to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, offering significantly more stability and functionality than traditional dentures. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums, these dentures connect directly to titanium implants that have fused with the bone, preventing slippage during eating and speaking, improving chewing efficiency, and helping preserve jawbone density over time. Typically requiring between two and six implants per arch, these dentures can be designed as either removable for daily cleaning or permanently fixed, providing patients with a more natural-feeling tooth replacement solution that can last 10-20 years with proper care and maintenance.

Step 3

Implant Supported Dentures Treatment Procedures



At London Dental Specialists, our implant supported dentures treatment involves a series of carefully planned procedures to ensure optimal results. This third step builds upon the personalised treatment plan developed in the previous stage, focusing on the surgical placement of dental implants and the creation of your custom dentures.



Dental Implant Placement



The cornerstone of implant supported dentures is the surgical placement of dental implants:




  • Local anaesthesia ensures your comfort throughout the procedure

  • Precise incisions in the gum tissue expose the underlying jawbone

  • Specialised drills create small holes in predetermined locations

  • Titanium implant posts are carefully inserted into the jawbone

  • Gum tissue is sutured to allow for proper healing



Healing and Osseointegration



Following implant placement, a crucial healing period begins:




  • Typically lasts 3 to 6 months

  • Allows for osseointegration - the fusion of implants with bone

  • Regular check-ups monitor healing progress

  • Temporary dentures may be provided for aesthetics and function



Abutment Placement



Once osseointegration is complete, we attach abutments to the implants:




  • Minor surgical procedure to expose the implant tops

  • Abutments serve as connectors between implants and dentures

  • Healing collars protect the area during gum healing



Custom Denture Fabrication



While your gums heal around the abutments, we begin crafting your custom dentures:




  • Detailed impressions of your mouth are taken

  • Advanced CAD/CAM technology designs your dentures

  • High-quality materials ensure durability and natural appearance

  • Multiple fittings ensure proper fit and comfort



Final Denture Placement



The culmination of the treatment process involves attaching your custom dentures:




  • Dentures are securely fastened to the abutments

  • Fit and bite are carefully checked and adjusted

  • You receive comprehensive instructions for care and maintenance



Follow-up Care



Our commitment to your oral health continues after placement:




  • Regular check-ups to monitor implant health

  • Professional cleanings to maintain gum health

  • Adjustments to ensure ongoing comfort and function



At London Dental Specialists, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional results with implant supported dentures. Our expert team guides you through each step, ensuring a comfortable experience and a restored smile that looks and feels natural. Transform your quality of life with the stability and confidence that implant supported dentures provide.

Step 4

Post Implant Supported Dentures Treatment Care



Proper aftercare is essential for the long-term success of your implant supported dentures. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive guidance to ensure your new smile remains comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing for years to come. The maintenance of implant supported dentures requires specific attention to both the implants and the denture itself.



Daily Maintenance Routine




  • Thorough cleaning twice daily using a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive cleanser

  • Special attention to the implant abutment areas where bacteria can accumulate

  • Use of interdental brushes or water flossers to clean around implants

  • Removal of dentures at night (for removable options) to allow gum tissue to rest

  • Soaking removable dentures in approved cleaning solution overnight



Professional Follow-up Care



Your ongoing relationship with London Dental Specialists is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health:




  • Regular check-ups every 3-6 months to monitor implant health and denture fit

  • Professional cleaning to remove any calculus buildup around implants

  • Periodic adjustments to ensure proper fit and comfort

  • X-rays to assess bone levels around implants



Signs That Require Immediate Attention
























Warning Sign Potential Issue
Bleeding or swollen gums Possible peri-implantitis or infection
Loose feeling in denture Attachment wear or implant mobility
Pain when chewing Improper fit or implant complication
Clicking sounds Denture component wear or damage


Long-term Considerations



Understanding the longevity of your investment is important:




  • With proper care, dental implants can last 20+ years or even a lifetime

  • The denture attachment may need replacement every 5-7 years due to normal wear

  • Periodic relining may be necessary as your oral tissues naturally change over time

  • Maintaining excellent oral hygiene significantly extends the lifespan of your restoration



Dietary Recommendations



While implant supported dentures restore most of your natural chewing ability, certain considerations help maintain their condition:




  • Gradually introduce harder foods as you adjust to your new dentures

  • Cut particularly tough foods into smaller pieces

  • Distribute chewing evenly on both sides of your mouth

  • Avoid excessive consumption of sticky foods that might stress attachments



At London Dental Specialists, we're committed to your ongoing care and satisfaction with your implant supported dentures. Our team remains available to address any concerns that may arise throughout your post-treatment experience, ensuring your investment continues to provide comfort, function, and confidence for years to come.

Conditions We Treat With Implant Supported Dentures

Our West Dulwich practice treats multiple conditions using Implant Supported Dentures, focusing on conditions where this treatment has shown success. We carefully assess your condition to ensure Implant Supported Dentures is appropriate. Book your consultation by calling +44 7700 100779 to discuss your specific condition.


  • Complete Tooth Loss - Implant-supported dentures are ideal for patients who have lost all their teeth in the upper or lower jaw, providing a stable full arch replacement secured by dental implants rather than adhesives.

  • Unstable Traditional Dentures - For patients struggling with loose or uncomfortable traditional dentures that slip during eating or speaking, implant-secured dentures offer significantly improved stability and confidence.

  • Compromised Chewing Function - Patients with reduced ability to eat certain foods due to conventional dentures can benefit from the enhanced chewing efficiency provided by implant-supported overdentures.

  • Jawbone Deterioration - Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures help stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss.

  • Facial Structure Changes - The jawbone support from dental implants helps maintain facial structure and prevent the sunken appearance often associated with long-term traditional denture wear.

  • Partial Tooth Loss - Implant-supported removable partial dentures can replace multiple missing teeth while providing better stability than conventional partial dentures.

  • Gum Discomfort - Patients experiencing soreness or irritation from conventional dentures resting on gum tissue can benefit from implant-supported options that transfer biting forces to the jawbone instead.

  • Speech Difficulties - Implant-secured dentures remain firmly in place, helping to resolve speech problems that can occur with loose traditional dentures.

  • Low Confidence - Patients concerned about dentures moving or falling out in social situations can regain confidence with the security of implant-retained dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are implant-supported dentures?


Implant-supported dentures are prosthetic teeth replacements that attach securely to dental implants surgically placed in your jawbone, rather than simply resting on your gums like traditional dentures. At London Dental Specialists, we use titanium implants that integrate with your natural bone to provide a stable foundation for your replacement teeth, offering improved functionality, comfort, and confidence compared to conventional dentures.



How do implant-supported dentures differ from traditional dentures?


Unlike traditional dentures that rest on your gums and may shift or slip during eating and speaking, implant-supported dentures are anchored directly to your jawbone via dental implants. This secure attachment provides several advantages:



  • Superior stability with no slipping or movement

  • Better chewing efficiency (up to 90% of natural teeth)

  • Preservation of jawbone density and facial structure

  • No need for messy adhesives

  • More natural feel and appearance

  • Improved speech clarity



How long do implant-supported dentures last?


With proper care and regular check-ups at London Dental Specialists, implant-supported dentures can last 15-20 years or longer. The dental implants themselves can potentially last a lifetime with good oral hygiene and regular professional maintenance. The denture attachment may need replacement or adjustment every 5-7 years due to normal wear. We recommend bi-annual check-ups to ensure optimal longevity of your implant-supported dentures.



What is the process for getting implant-supported dentures?


The implant-supported denture process at London Dental Specialists typically involves:



  1. Comprehensive consultation and examination

  2. Customised treatment planning with digital imaging

  3. Surgical placement of dental implants (usually 4-6 per arch)

  4. Healing period of 3-6 months for implant integration

  5. Attachment of abutments to the implants

  6. Fitting of custom-designed dentures

  7. Follow-up appointments and adjustments as needed



Can I sleep with my implant-supported dentures?


Yes, you can sleep with implant-supported dentures, particularly fixed (non-removable) varieties. However, if you have removable implant-supported dentures, we at London Dental Specialists may recommend removing them at night to give your gum tissues rest and to thoroughly clean the dentures. Proper maintenance is essential regardless of type, including regular cleaning beneath the denture and brushing the prosthetic with appropriate cleaning solutions and a denture brush to prevent gum disease and implant failure.



What are the advantages of implant-supported dentures?


Implant-supported dentures from London Dental Specialists offer numerous benefits:



  • Restored ability to eat virtually all foods

  • Prevention of bone loss in the jaw

  • Improved facial aesthetics and prevention of premature ageing

  • Enhanced self-confidence and quality of life

  • No gum irritation or sore spots common with traditional dentures

  • Better taste sensation as the palate isn't covered

  • Long-term cost-effectiveness despite higher initial investment



What are the potential disadvantages of implant-supported dentures?


While implant-supported dentures offer significant benefits, potential considerations include:



  • Higher initial cost compared to conventional dentures

  • Surgical procedure required for implant placement

  • Treatment timeline of several months from start to completion

  • Need for adequate bone density (though bone grafting can address deficiencies)

  • Regular maintenance and professional cleaning required

  • The prosthetic components may need replacement over time



Am I a suitable candidate for implant-supported dentures?


Most patients missing multiple teeth are candidates for implant-supported dentures. Ideal candidates have:



  • Good general and oral health

  • Sufficient jawbone density (or are suitable for bone grafting)

  • Healthy gum tissue free of periodontal disease

  • No uncontrolled medical conditions that might affect healing


At London Dental Specialists, we conduct a thorough assessment including advanced imaging to determine your suitability. Even patients previously told they aren't candidates for implants may benefit from our specialised techniques and bone augmentation procedures.



How do I care for my implant-supported dentures?


Proper maintenance of implant-supported dentures includes:



  • Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled brush

  • Using low-abrasive, specially formulated cleansers (not regular toothpaste)

  • Cleaning around implant attachments and under the denture

  • Using interdental brushes or water flossers for hard-to-reach areas

  • Attending regular professional cleanings and check-ups at London Dental Specialists every 6 months

  • Avoiding tobacco products which can compromise implant health

  • Following specific care instructions for your particular type of implant-supported denture
