Implant-Supported Dentures in East London
If you’re looking for a secure, comfortable alternative to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures might be the perfect solution.
At Every Smile Dentistry in East London, we specialize in implant-supported dentures, a modern treatment that provides a long-lasting, stable, and natural-feeling way to replace missing teeth.
Our team is dedicated to restoring both function and confidence with this advanced dental solution.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are a type of denture secured to the jawbone using dental implants rather than relying on adhesives or suction.
With this method, two or more implants are placed in the jawbone to anchor the dentures firmly, providing increased stability and a natural appearance.
This solution eliminates the common issues with traditional dentures, such as slipping or discomfort, offering a more permanent and secure option for those seeking reliable tooth replacement.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures
Choosing implant-supported dentures offers several key benefits:
- Stability and Comfort: Implant-supported dentures are secure and stable, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently without worry.
- Improved Chewing Efficiency and Speech: They function more like natural teeth, making it easier to chew food properly and speak clearly.
- Reduced Bone Loss: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that can occur with traditional dentures.
- Long-Lasting and Natural-Looking: Implant-supported dentures are durable and designed to look and feel like real teeth, providing a natural and attractive appearance.
Types of Implant-Supported Dentures Offered at Every Smile Dentistry
At Every Smile Dentistry, we offer several types of implant-supported dentures to fit individual needs and preferences:
- Bar-Retained Dentures: These dentures attach to a thin metal bar anchored by implants, providing a secure fit while allowing for easy removal.
- Ball-Retained Dentures: Also known as “snap-on” dentures, these use a ball-and-socket mechanism to secure the dentures to the implants, making them stable yet removable.
- Fixed Implant-Supported Dentures: For a more permanent solution, fixed implant-supported dentures are secured to the implants and are not removable, offering the most stable and natural-feeling option.
The Procedure for Getting Implant-Supported Dentures
The process of receiving implant-supported dentures involves several steps, each carefully planned for the best results:
- Consultation and Assessment: During your first visit, we assess your oral health and discuss treatment options. Imaging, such as X-rays, may be taken to determine jawbone health and ideal implant placement.
- Implant Placement: Implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. Sedation or anesthesia options are available to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
- Healing and Integration: The implants need time to integrate with the jawbone, usually taking a few months to ensure a strong foundation.
- Denture Fitting: Once the implants are fully integrated, your custom dentures are attached, either as removable or fixed, depending on the chosen option.
- Follow-Up Appointments: We’ll schedule follow-ups to check on your comfort and the stability of the dentures, making any necessary adjustments.
Cost and Financing Options for Implant-Supported Dentures
The cost of implant-supported dentures can vary based on the number of implants needed, the type of dentures, and any specific customizations.
At Every Smile Dentistry, we offer transparent pricing and various financing options to make implant-supported dentures accessible to more patients.
During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown and discuss payment plans to help you achieve your dental goals affordably.
Caring for Your Implant-Supported Dentures
With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last many years. Here are some care tips:
- Daily Cleaning: Clean your dentures and implants daily using a soft brush, and follow any special instructions provided by our team.
- Regular Check-ups: Routine visits to Every Smile Dentistry ensure that your dentures stay secure and your implants remain healthy.
- Healthy Habits: Avoid hard foods that could damage the dentures, and if you have removable dentures, store them safely when not in use.

Frequently Asked Questions Answered
1. How do implant-supported dentures differ from traditional dentures?
Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures are secured with dental implants, which provide greater stability and comfort. Traditional dentures rely on suction or adhesives, while implant-supported options feel more like natural teeth and won’t slip out of place.
2. How long do implant-supported dentures last?
With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last 10 to 20 years or more. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential for extending their lifespan.
3. Is the implant procedure painful?
The implant procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation, ensuring you don’t feel discomfort during placement. Some soreness may occur afterward, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, and our team is here to support you during recovery.
4. How many implants are needed for implant-supported dentures?
The number of implants required depends on the type of denture and your specific needs. For a full arch, four to six implants per arch are typically needed to secure the dentures.
5. Can I remove my implant-supported dentures at night?
It depends on the type. Ball-retained and bar-retained dentures are removable, allowing you to take them out at night for cleaning. Fixed implant-supported dentures, however, are permanently attached and do not require removal.
6. Are implant-supported dentures covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage for implant-supported dentures varies. While some plans may cover part of the procedure, especially for medically necessary cases, we also offer financing options at Every Smile Dentistry to make this treatment affordable.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US
Don't just take our word for it.
I was attended to by Dr A Somtunzi who was also so friendly and welcoming. I had my teeth cleaned and a filling done. She gave a detailed explanation of what needed to be done.
She was so gentle and I felt no discomfort at all.
I’m happy with the work she did.
Outside the excellent service, I think the thoughtful gesture of having ladies essentials in the rest room for everyone to use won my heart
I can't wait to visit the dentist again!
I must say their customer service is exceptional!! From the receptionist to the Dr.
I would recommend anybody to support Every Smile Dentistry!!
I initially made an online booking since they never seem to pick up their lines or get back to you ,I pulled strings to ensure I was there timeously and I was informed that “oh there must’ve been a miscommunication “ that meaning there was no communication about my appointment being canceled
And the receptionist let me know minutes to my appointment I can’t be attended to
.2nd appointment I made days in advance and I again pulled strings to honour my appointment today and as usual they sent the email reminder to remind me of my appointment at 9 am today …I leave work at 8 to make 8h30 for 9.
Doors weren’t open by 9 and I called both their numbers to no reply and kept retrying and around to 10 …I make a call one more time just before I left cause I wasn’t sure what was happening .
The receptionist answers and says “it’s a miscommunication issue.Our dr has an emergency and no one is coming in today “…no one cared to call and inform me of this as the expected 1st client of the day!
A complete waste of my time twice !! I’ll escalate this
