Implant Supported Dentures
Having several teeth missing can be problematic. The more you lose, the more uncomfortable eating and speaking may become. Implant supported dentures will not just allow you to eat a wider range of food and transform your smile, but also stop your face from ageing prematurely in a way that is associated with traditional removable dentures.
Our dentures consist of a dental plate with false teeth attached, which is anchored into your mouth with implants. They look natural, they’re fitted securely and they’re comfortable to wear.

The sooner you can have an implant fitted after having lost a tooth, or having had a tooth removed, generally speaking, the better the results. Firstly your dentist will assess the health and strength of your jawbone to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for implants.
Once this has been confirmed and your implant has been created, it will be placed in your jawbone. A temporary crown will be added. This will remain in place for a few months, until it’s time for a permanent crown to be fitted. With as few as 4 implants, a full arch of replacement teeth can be attached to your mouth. The implants must be carefully placed in order to provide effective support.
