Implant-Retained Dentures in Harrow
Held firmly in place by dental implants, implant-retained dentures never slip or move, so you can eat, talk and smile with complete confidence once again.
Dentures, anchored by dental implants
Implant-retained dentures combine the best of both worlds. A small number of dental implants are placed in the jaw, and your denture clips securely onto them. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, these are held firmly in place, so they don't slip, click or rub. The result feels far more stable and natural, while still being removable for easy cleaning.

The confidence of a secure fit
If you wear dentures, or you're about to, implant-retained dentures can transform the experience. Here's what makes them so worthwhile.
No more slipping: Clipped firmly onto implants, your denture stays exactly where it should, with no movement, clicking or embarrassing moments.
Eat what you love: A secure denture means you can bite and chew with real strength, so crunchy, chewy and tougher foods are back on the menu.
Protects your jawbone: The implants stimulate the bone just as natural roots would, helping to preserve it and keep your face looking fuller.
Smile with confidence: No adhesives, no worry. You can talk, laugh and smile freely, knowing your teeth are firmly and comfortably in place.
Your journey, step by step
A secure, stable fit, made for youA check and a chat
We start with a thorough assessment, including scans of your jaw, and talk through whether implant-retained dentures are right for you. You'll get a clear plan and answers to all your questions.
Placing the implants
A small number of implants are gently placed in the jaw under local anaesthetic. Most people find it far more comfortable than they expect, and we'll look after you at every step.
Healing and bonding
Over the following weeks, the implants fuse naturally with the bone to form a strong foundation. You'll usually wear a temporary denture during this time, so you're never without a smile.
Fitting your denture
Once everything has healed, we attach your custom-made denture to the implants and check the fit and bite. You'll leave with a secure, stable smile that feels wonderfully natural.

Looking after your new smile
Implant-retained dentures are easy to care for, and good habits keep both the denture and the implants healthy for years to come.
Settling in
After your implants are placed, stick to softer foods while everything heals. Once your final denture is fitted, you'll gradually build up to eating a full range of foods with confidence.
Keep it all fresh
Clean your denture daily and gently clean around the implants where they meet the gum. We'll show you the easiest way to keep everything spotless, whether your denture is fixed or removable.
If yours clips out
If you have a removable denture, taking it out overnight gives your gums a chance to rest. Keep it in water or a cleaning solution so it stays in good condition. Fixed dentures stay safely in place.
Regular reviews keep it lasting
Routine visits let us check the implants, the fit and your gums, and give everything a professional clean. With good care, implant-retained dentures can last many years.
When your teeth stay firmly in place, so does your confidence.
