Implant Retained Dentures

I would like to:

Dentures are often used when a patient has lost a number of teeth in a row or has lost all their upper or lower teeth.

Implant-retained dentures are simply denture appliances that are held in place by implants that are embedded into the jaw. This significantly reduces the chance of a denture slipping out of place or rubbing against the gums as it is held by clips attached to the implants.

If you opt for implant retained dentures, we will assess the suitability by taking X-rays or referring you for a CT scan to determine the viability of your jawbone.

A number of screws (or implants) will then be placed into the jawbone in order to act as a foundation for the dentures. While your mouth heals, we will provide you with temporary dentures, but once ready, your new dentures will be fitted.

As with regular dentures, which are held in place by adhesive, you can still remove your implant-retained device for cleaning.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Nina today as an agency nurse with Elevate. I can honestly say it was the best day In surgery I've had in a long time. Nina was so helpful, wonderful with all her patients and nothing was too much. All Nina's patients are so lovely and really welcoming to her nurses. I cannot wait to come back for another day. Thank you xx

I've been in twice now for a review and hygiene appointments. It's a brilliant service, Nina and her team have a wonderful bedside manner and are absolutely lovely. I'm so pleased with the results and can't rate them highly enough!

Excellent reassuring service for possible troublesome capped front tooth. I was phoned back within the hour and seen/x-rayed by the end of the day all before a bank holiday. Many thanks.

I’m so pleased to have sent my very anxious son to Nina at St Mawes, he was a completely calm and chill child in her chair, he felt so at ease there I cannot actually believe it! She was able to give him a filling without any fears or tears, he was actually giggling! Thank you Nina!

The girls today saved me! Ive broken my back, had 2 kids and stepped on lego but none of that matched the dental pain i was suffering. Their emergency treatment was fast, efficent and cheap! I was totally terrified but they were so warm, friendly and reassuring and i left pain free. Sorry for nearly breaking your hand but thank you for removing my tooth.Made the journey from St Austell to St Mawes worth while. XxxxX

A few months back I went here for an emergency dentist appointment. The staff was very friendly and kept the place very clean! I was getting an infected tooth removed and the dentist doing this was very understanding and also explained everything that was going to happen. She understood my anxiety and helped me deal with it. She also made sure that I would be comfortable during the entire thing! So thank you for everything and I reccomend that you book here!

I just came out of my appointment. This dentist is amazing. The staff were so happy to help, and they made me feel comfortable and relaxed.I was sent here on an emergency NHS appointment. And I wish this was my local dentist as I would sign up for their care instantly. Sadly I'm based many miles away.Thank you to all that made my visit lovely.Rich

I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while because this practice deserves a 5 star review. Myself and other nurses have worked here as locums when needed. A very clean and well run practice. You can see all the patients really like going there. Basically the dentist patient relationship definitely deserves the 5 stars on its on. Thank you for booking us and letting us experience such a lovely environment.

Thank you so much!!!!!!I had to book an emergancy appointment due to having some agonising tooth pain. St Mawes got me in next day. I am a very anxious patient after having a recent tooth extraction cause intense pain. However I didn't feel a thing at St Mawes, I even laughed when it came out because I couldn't believe how much I had worked myself up about it. The team were excellent, friendly, informative and quick. 10/10 on all counts.This experience has completely numbed my anxeity towards dental work. If you have an appointment here, you are in excellent hands.

Absolutely fantastic and friendly service. Always been a big baby when going to dental appointments but from the moment I arrived to my emergency appointment today I was made to feel at ease despite having a tooth removed. Gutted they're not taking on NHS patients yet. Thank you.

OMG !! What an ease I felt going into that positive and very humours atmosphere. Almost completely distracted from the tooth they were currently ripping from my jaw at the time. Top job by the ladies and very grateful for squeezing me in as an emergency appointment.Regards to you all,W.troope("On a scale 1-10 how savage will this be?""at least 11, and u can't smoke for at least 48 days after") 🤣🤣🤣👍
