Traditional dentures rest on the gums, while implant retained dentures are secured by dental implants. This provides improved stability, comfort and chewing ability.
If your dentures feel loose or uncomfortable, implant retained dentures could be the ideal solution. At Lakewood Dental in Carshalton, we provide implant-secured dentures that combine the stability of dental implants with the comfort of a custom denture. The result is a confident, natural-looking smile that feels secure every day.

Implant retained dentures are dentures that attach to a small number of dental implants, typically between two and six per arch. The implants act as artificial tooth roots, keeping your denture stable and preventing it from moving or slipping.
Unlike traditional removable dentures, implant retained dentures are held firmly in place, restoring bite strength and making it easier to enjoy your favourite foods. They also help to maintain bone structure and facial shape, reducing the long-term effects of tooth loss.
01
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation at our Carshalton practice. Using CBCT and iTero 3D digital scans, we gather a complete picture of your oral health and bone structure. This information allows our clinicians to plan the best approach for secure, long-lasting results.
02
Under local anaesthetic, our implantologist places the implants precisely into the jawbone. Each implant acts as a secure anchor for your denture. This procedure is carefully planned for comfort and accuracy.
03
Over the next few months, your implants naturally bond with the bone through a process known as osseointegration. This forms a strong foundation for your final denture. If needed, we can discuss temporary solutions to maintain comfort and appearance during this stage.
04
Once the implants have fully integrated, your custom-made denture is securely attached. Designed to complement your smile and facial features, your new denture will look and feel completely natural.
05
We’ll provide you with clear aftercare instructions and schedule regular check-ups to ensure your implants remain healthy. With proper care and maintenance, implant restorations are designed for long-term performance.
Your treatment will be carried out by our skilled and friendly team at Lakewood Dental.

Traditional dentures rest on the gums, while implant retained dentures are secured by dental implants. This provides improved stability, comfort and chewing ability.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last for many years. The denture itself may need to be adjusted or replaced over time, depending on wear and changes to your mouth.
We’ll discuss temporary options to maintain your smile and comfort while your implants heal. Most patients never need to go without teeth.
The implants are placed under local anaesthetic, and patients generally find the procedure comfortable. Some mild soreness afterward is normal and usually resolves within a few days.
Most healthy adults can be suitable candidates. During your consultation, we’ll assess your jawbone and general oral health to determine the best treatment approach for you.
