Implant retained dentures are fixed to the jaw using implants, usually made of titanium, on top of which we then affix a set of dentures.
While traditional dentures can help provide many patients with a functional set of prosthetic teeth, some patients find them uncomfortable and awkward. Implant retained dentures provide a much more permanent solution to the problem of missing teeth, and eliminate the need for sometimes hard to use adhesives.
They also have the added benefit of looking and feeling much more realistic. This can help boost the patient’s confidence, not only when eating and talking, which can be difficult with traditional removable dentures, but when smiling too.
As with other implant treatments, we first have to make sure you are a suitable candidate for implant retained dentures. This is usually established by use of an X-ray, which we use to determine if your jaw is healthy enough to fuse with the implants.Four
The treatment time for implant retained dentures is usually a few months. This is to allow time for the implants to fuse with the jawbone before fitting you with your permanent dentures. During this time, we can offer you temporary dentures, or if you already have a set, you can continue to wear your current dentures.

“Had a very professional hygiene session done by lovely Magdalena. She made me feel at ease and the whole treatment was completely painless. My teeth are so clean and shiny, I can't stop smiling!”
“From beginning to end, my experience with Battersea Smiles has been great. Marisa, Eva and the whole team are a delight and make you feel very looked after and in good hands. The Invisalign treatment has worked wonders for me and I don't think I could have made a better choice than Battersea Smiles to do it with. Highly recommend.”
“From my initial virtual consultation in September 2020 with Marissa through to my final Invisalign appointment. Marissa, Eva and the whole team have been beyond amazing. The team are not just professional (my teeth look beautiful), but make you feel so welcome and build such great rapport with their patients. They keep you so well informed throughout your treatment and really appreciate them being honest with additional treatments that may not be suitable (to ultimately stop you from wasting money). I could not recommend this clinic enough and will continue my treatments here for the foreseeable future! Thank you so much!”
