For many people, dentures provide a life-changing solution after tooth loss. However, traditional dentures can sometimes become loose over time, making everyday activities such as eating, speaking and smiling less comfortable and less predictable.
If you're finding your dentures move, rub or no longer feel as secure as they once did, implant-assisted dentures could provide the stability and confidence you've been looking for.
At Able Denture & Implant Clinic in Camberley, we combine advanced implant dentistry with bespoke denture craftsmanship to create secure, natural-looking smiles tailored to each individual. Treatment is planned collaboratively by Dr Nick Baker, our experienced implant dentist, and Stuart Caris, Clinical Dental Technician (CDT), ensuring every smile is carefully designed for comfort, function and aesthetics.
We also understand that many people feel nervous about dental treatment. Our friendly, caring team will take the time to listen, explain your options clearly and support you throughout your journey, so you can make informed decisions without feeling rushed or pressured.
What Are Implant-Assisted Dentures?
Implant-assisted dentures (also known as implant-retained dentures) are removable dentures that are securely attached to dental implants placed into the jawbone. Unlike conventional dentures, which rely mainly on the gums and natural suction for support, implant-assisted dentures clip securely onto implants, helping to reduce unwanted movement.
Many patients find they can once again enjoy:
Eating a wider variety of foods with greater confidence
Speaking clearly without worrying about their dentures moving
Smiling naturally in social situations
Wearing their dentures comfortably throughout the day
Feeling more confident in everyday life
Every patient is different, which is why we carry out a detailed assessment before recommending treatment. We'll discuss your goals, examine your mouth and explain all suitable options.
More Than Just Secure Dentures
Implant-assisted dentures offer more than improved stability.
When natural teeth are lost, the jawbone gradually begins to shrink because it is no longer being stimulated by tooth roots. Dental implants act like artificial roots, helping to stimulate the surrounding bone and slow this natural process. Preserving bone can help support your facial appearance and provide a more stable foundation for your dentures over the long term.
Another significant advantage is that implant-assisted dentures remain removable, allowing both the dentures and the implants to be cleaned easily. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is essential for the long-term health of your implants and gums, and removable implant-assisted dentures make this straightforward.
A Collaborative Approach to Your Care
One of the greatest strengths of Able Denture & Implant Clinic is the way our clinicians work together.
Your treatment is planned by Dr Nick Baker, who carries out the implant placement, alongside Stuart Caris, Clinical Dental Technician, who designs and handcrafts your bespoke dentures.
This close collaboration ensures that your implants, bite, appearance and dentures are all planned together from the very beginning, helping to achieve a result that looks natural, feels comfortable and functions exceptionally well.
Why Does It Matter Who Makes Your Dentures?
Many patients are surprised to learn that not every dental practice has a Clinical Dental Technician involved in creating their dentures.
At Able Denture & Implant Clinic, Stuart Caris is directly involved throughout your treatment journey. As your Clinical Dental Technician, he works closely with Dr Nick Baker to design dentures that complement your facial features, bite and smile.
Rather than being sent away to an external laboratory, your dentures are handcrafted and refined on-site, allowing close communication between the clinical and laboratory teams. This attention to detail helps us create dentures that are designed specifically for you.
The Advantage of Our On-Site Dental Laboratory
Having our own on-site dental laboratory is one of the things that makes our clinic unique.
Because our laboratory is within the practice, adjustments can often be made more efficiently, communication between clinicians and technicians is seamless, and every stage of treatment benefits from exceptional attention to detail.
This integrated approach allows us to focus on what matters most—creating dentures that are comfortable, secure, natural-looking and built to last.
Friendly Care for Nervous Patients
We know that many people have lived with loose dentures or missing teeth for years before seeking help. Others may have had difficult experiences in the past and feel anxious about visiting the dentist.
Our team is experienced in caring for nervous patients. We'll explain everything clearly, answer your questions honestly and ensure you feel comfortable throughout your treatment. There is never any pressure to proceed—you'll always have the time and information you need to make the right decision for you.
Our practice is also proud of its ex-military background, bringing values of precision, reliability, discipline and attention to detail into every aspect of patient care.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many implants are needed to secure dentures?
The number of implants depends on your individual circumstances.
As a general guide:
Two implants are commonly used to secure dentures in the lower jaw.
Four implants are commonly used in the upper jaw.
Following your examination and CBCT scan, Dr Nick Baker will recommend the treatment plan most suitable for you.
Can I eat normally with implant-assisted dentures?
One of the biggest advantages of implant-assisted dentures is the increased stability they provide.
Many patients find they can once again enjoy foods they may have avoided for years. While every patient adapts differently, implant-assisted dentures often make eating more comfortable, secure and enjoyable.
Do implant-assisted dentures come out?
Yes.
Unlike fixed implant bridges, implant-assisted dentures are designed to be removed by you for cleaning.
This allows both your dentures and your implants to be cleaned thoroughly every day, helping you maintain excellent oral hygiene and support the long-term health of your implants.
Am I too old for dental implants?
Age alone does not determine whether someone is suitable for dental implants.
Many patients in their seventies and eighties enjoy the benefits of implant treatment. What's most important is your oral health, medical history and bone quality.
A CBCT scan allows us to assess your suitability safely and accurately.
How long does treatment take?
Although every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, implant-assisted denture treatment typically takes around four to six months.
This allows time for your implants to heal and integrate with the jawbone before your final dentures are fitted.
How much do implant-assisted dentures cost?
Implant-assisted dentures are an investment in your long-term oral health, comfort and quality of life.
While the cost varies depending on your individual treatment plan, many patients tell us that the improvement in confidence, comfort and ability to enjoy everyday life makes the investment worthwhile.
Dental implants also help preserve the jawbone, supporting both your dentures and your long-term oral health.
During your free consultation, we'll explain all of your treatment options, provide a personalised written treatment plan and discuss the investment involved.
To make treatment more accessible, we offer a range of finance options, including 0% finance over 12 months, allowing you to spread the investment in a way that suits your budget.
Could Implant-Assisted Dentures Be Right for You?
Whether you've recently lost teeth or have been wearing dentures for many years, implant-assisted dentures could provide the security and confidence you've been missing.
If you're struggling with loose dentures, avoiding certain foods or simply want to explore your options, we'd be delighted to help.
