Implant-retained dentures
Implant-Supported Dentures in Crowborough
Tired of loose dentures making it hard to eat and speak? Implant-supported dentures can restore your smile and your confidence.
They are more comfortable and secure than conventional dentures, helping you avoid sore spots and movement, and restoring your ability to chew.
Option one
Locator-retained implant dentures
A removable denture that snaps into place over dental implants using button-like fittings called locators — secure, yet easy to take out for cleaning.
- Improves appearance, speech and eating, and helps preserve the jawbone.
- Comfortable and convenient, with no adhesive needed.
- Good for patients wanting a more stable denture, those with lower bone density, or dexterity challenges.
- Generally simpler and more affordable than bar-retained options.
Option two
Bar-retained implant dentures
Implants anchor a metal bar, and a removable overdenture clips onto it. This gives more stability and support than traditional dentures and can suit people with significant bone loss.
- 1
Implant placement
The implants are placed under local anaesthetic, with sedation options available.
- 2
Healing
The implants typically heal for 3–4 months.
- 3
Overdenture made
Impressions are taken to make your overdenture.

Overdenture attached
The overdenture is attached with a precision attachment system.
Why choose overdentures
Advantages of implant-supported dentures
With conventional dentures, the jawbone gradually shrinks, which can give the face a sunken look. Implants act as artificial roots and help maintain bone.
- An aesthetic, long-term solution
- Comfort and function
- No denture adhesives
- Less gum irritation
- Stays in place while speaking and chewing
- Helps maintain bone level
- A more natural appearance
