Implant Supported Dentures
in Barnet
Tired of dentures that slip when you eat or speak? You’re far from alone, and there’s a more secure option. At Mona Lisa Smiles in Barnet, implant supported dentures combine the benefits of dental implants with modern denture technology, planned using advanced 3D CBCT imaging by Dr Basirat, who holds a Master’s degree in Implantology.
Traditional dentures have helped millions of people, but many wearers still experience movement, discomfort, or reduced confidence. Implant supported dentures anchor to implants placed in the jawbone rather than resting solely on the gums, which may offer a more secure and stable alternative for some patients.
What Are Implant Supported Dentures?
Implant supported dentures are dentures anchored to dental implants placed within the jawbone. The implants act as artificial tooth roots, creating a strong foundation for the denture, which may help preserve jawbone structure. They can replace an entire upper or lower arch, multiple missing teeth, or existing loose and unstable dentures.
How Do They Work?
A number of dental implants are placed into the jawbone. Once healing has occurred and the implants have integrated with the bone, a specially designed denture is attached, either snapping securely into place for removal and cleaning, or fixed and only removable by a dental professional.
Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures
- Improved stability, with far less movement than traditional dentures
- Greater comfort, since support comes from the implants rather than the gums alone
- May help improve chewing ability
- May help improve speech
- May help preserve jawbone structure
Implant Supported Dentures vs Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures rest directly on the gums, may shift during use, can require adhesives, and typically don’t provide the stimulation needed to help maintain bone levels. Implant supported dentures are anchored securely to implants, which can offer greater stability and comfort, may help improve chewing performance, and may help support bone structure.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
- Multiple missing teeth
- Loose or uncomfortable existing dentures
- Sufficient bone volume, or suitability for bone augmentation
- Good general oral hygiene habits
The Treatment Process
We begin with a consultation and a CBCT scan to assess your bone levels, then create a personalised treatment plan setting out implant positions and restoration design. The implants are placed and given time to integrate with the bone, before your custom denture is attached and adjusted for comfort and function.
