Dental implants treatment in Clapton, Hackney
Different types of implant-retained denture
Two proven ways to secure a full denture onto dental implants — we'll recommend the right one after assessing your bone and your day-to-day needs.
Locator-retained implant dentures
Also known as locator-retained overdentures — a treatment option that replaces missing teeth with a removable denture that snaps into place over dental implants.
How it works
Dental implants are placed into the jawbone and act as artificial roots to support a removable denture. The denture snaps into place using button-like fittings called locators, providing a secure yet easily removable option.
Benefits
This treatment improves appearance, speech and eating capability, preserves jawbone and helps reduce wrinkles by supporting facial structure.
Advantages
Locator-retained dentures are comfortable, convenient and do not require adhesives, making them a user-friendly option for many patients.
Good for
Patients who want enhanced denture stability, those who may not be eligible for traditional dental implants due to lower jawbone density, and those with dexterity challenges.
Maintenance
Locator dentures are easy to remove for cleaning, making daily maintenance straightforward. They are a freestanding abutment type — generally more affordable and simpler than bar-retained options — and require an average vertical space of 8.5 mm for the attachments.

Bar-retained implant dentures
Bar-retained implant dentures, also known as implant-supported overdentures, are a removable prosthesis that combines the stability of dental implants with the flexibility of dentures.
How it works: implants are surgically placed in the jawbone and act as anchors for a metal bar. A removable overdenture with replacement teeth is then attached to the bar using clips.
Benefits: more stability and support than traditional dentures, and they can help prevent jawbone atrophy. A good option for people who have lost most or all of their teeth, or who have significant bone loss.
The procedure
Implant placement
The implants are surgically placed under local anaesthesia.
Healing
The implants need to heal for 3–4 months.
Overdenture fabrication
Once the implants have healed, dental impressions are taken to make the overdenture.
Overdenture attachment
The overdenture is attached to the implants with a precision attachment system.

Help maintain bone level
A more natural overall appearance
Dental implants are placed in the jawbone to anchor your denture in place. They act as artificial tooth roots, providing stability and helping to maintain bone levels. With conventional dentures the bone resorbs, or shrinks over time, which can cause the face to have a sunken look.
