Our Process
Consultation & Planning
Assess your needs and determine how many implants are needed (typically 2-4 per arch).
Implant Surgery
2-4 implants placed into jawbone under local anaesthetic.
Healing Period
Implants integrate with jawbone over 3-6 months. You wear your existing dentures during this time.
Attachment Fitting
Special attachments (locators or bars) fitted to implants.
Denture Modification
Your denture is modified to snap onto the implants. You can now remove it for cleaning but it stays secure while wearing.

Complete Guide
Our Services Implant Retained Dentures
Not every patient copes well with conventional dentures (especially lowers).
For those that don’t, implant retained dentures can be a life changing experience and over the years have become much more affordable.
The lower jaw has little suction due to the tongue poking through the middle. This allows the muscles of facial expression etc to dislodge the denture. Practice and control usually solve this issue but occasionally something more may be required. This is where implants can be used as an anchor. Implant retained dentures aren't for everyone so when a patient considers them, I would first refer to a specialist in the field of placing the implants to investigate your suitability and help to consider the way forward.
Often only two implants are required and the denture remains removable for ease of maintenance. Comprehensive Dental Care
