Implant-Retained Dentures

This patient’s case involved a staged implant-retained denture rehabilitation, with the lower arch completed first and the upper arch treated one year later following successful adaptation and healing.

The patient was concerned about loose and heavily damaged teeth in the lower jaw, as well as ongoing discomfort with their lower denture. After assessment, it was clear that the remaining teeth had a poor long-term outlook, and removing them was recommended to improve comfort and oral health. The patient was referred to Dr Andy Sharpe to explore options, including implant-retained dentures and All-on-4 dental implants.

  • This patient opted to have the two dentures made, one for the lower teeth and then one for the upper.

  • The result of the consultation with Dr Andy Sharpe recommended full lower clearance due to bone loss and mobile teeth with poor prognosis for both the lower and then the upper jaw.

  • The timeframe from consultation to finish for the lower arch:
    6 months

    The timeframe from consultation to finish for the upper arch:
    7 months

    The upper arch was treated one year lafter the successful adaptation and healing of the lower arch.

  • Yes if they are missing teeth and want to fill the gaps.

  • We have a scheme called Dental Smiles Membership  which gives you check-ups and hygienist appointments and 20% off treatments for a small monthly sum.

    Or we have 0% finance options for you to pay over 12 months.

    These two schemes can be used together.
