Different Types Of Implant Retained Denture
Bar Retained Implant Dentures
Bar-retained implant dentures, also known as implant-supported overdentures, are a type of removable prosthesis that combines the stability of dental implants with the flexibility of dentures:
How It Works
Dental 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
Bar-retained implant dentures provide more stability and support than traditional dentures and can help prevent jawbone atrophy. They can be a good option for people who have lost most or all of their teeth or who have significant bone loss.
Procedure
The process involves several appointments, including:
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.

Treatment Cost: £10,000
Locator-retained Implant Dentures
Locator denture retained implant dentures, also known as locator-retained overdentures, are 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. This 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 capabilities, 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
Locator dentures are suitable 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.
Locator dentures are a type of freestanding abutment, generally more affordable and simpler than bar-retained options. They require an average vertical space of 8.5 mm for locator attachments.

Advantages of Implant-Supported Dentures (Overdentures)
- An aesthetic and long-term solution
- Optimal comfort and function
- No need for denture adhesives
- Less gum irritation
- Fixed to the gums while speaking and chewing
- Help maintain bone level
- The more natural overall appearance
Dental implants are placed in the jawbone to anchor your denture in place. Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing stability and helping to maintain bone levels. With conventional dentures, the bone will resorb, or shrink over time, which can cause the face to have a sunken look.
