Denture stabilisation with dental implants

Serving patients throughout Hest Bank, Morecambe and Lancaster

Many patients with no remaining teeth or teeth that need removal, do not want to wear conventional removable dentures. These traditional dentures can become uncomfortable and loose over time as the jawbone shrinks causing eating and speech problems.

We offer an alternative solution at Hest Bank Dental Care using the latest technology and techniques that can change your life. Using dental implants to securely fix a denture in place we can recreate your natural smile with teeth that feel just like your own, restoring both your smile and your quality of life.

Dental implants help to maintain your facial structures by preserving the remaining bone in your jaws. This minimises wrinkles around the mouth by restoring lost lip-support and markedly improves your ability to chew. With dental implants, you can eat whatever you want and enjoy your food again!

Our implant dentist, Pinar Akman or Jonathan Tolson will carefully place titanium implants into the jaw to replacing some of the original roots. Between 4 to 8 implants are needed to securely fix a denture in place.

The dental implants then need to be left for a short time for the bone and gum to heal around them before they can support the final denture. This can take between 3 to 6 months. Once that happens, the titanium becomes one with the bone around it, making the foundation for your denture extremely strong and stable. Pinar or Jonathan will then carefully craft and fit your replacement denture, ensuring it blends perfectly with your natural smile.

At Hest Bank Dental Care we can assist with all implant cases, from the simplest to the most complex. Our patients have the peace of mind that they can access progressive technology and benefit from a wealth of experience from our implant dentist, Pinar or Jonathan.

The benefits of implants

  • Implants look and feel just like natural teeth – you shouldn’t notice any difference.
  • With dental implants, replacement teeth are securely anchored without compromising any neighbouring healthy teeth.
  • Implants won’t come loose or fall out.
  • Implants prevent ageing bone loss, by stimulating your bone structure and stabilising the surrounding teeth.
  • Implants can last for many years if you maintain good oral hygiene.

Are you suitable for treatment?

Patients must have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support dental implants. At your initial consultation Pinar or Jonathan will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.

Some patients may need to see a hygienist for a course of treatment to ensure their gums are strong and healthy before the dental implant process can begin.

Pinar or Jonathan will also check that there is sufficient bone for an implant to be placed successfully at this initial consultation. If there is insufficient bone you may need to need pre-treatment before your dental implants can be placed. This may include oral surgery procedures such as bone grafting, bone expansion or sinus lifts.

To find out more about how dental implants could transform your life, give us a call on 01524 825218 to book a consultation with Pinar or Jonathan today!

I'm a very nervous patient at the dentist but am so glad I finally made an appointment with Sofia. She really put me at ease and made me feel comfortable from the start, answering all my questions and being a very calming presence. She's very knowledgeable and clear with how she described my options and I actually can't believe that I've come out of this experience less scared than how I went in. And I'm super happy with the results too. Highly recommend Sofia at Hest Bank for professional, kind, caring service and excellent dental care!

I've had the pleasure of working in several dental practices within Lancashire and fulfilling many roles with in the industry. There are things you learn, notice and pick up along the way. More specifically you see a difference in care and approach from practice to practice. Hest Bank Dental Care has been a stand out practice in their approach to the patients and the care they give. More importantly the time, care and detail to attention they give children, nervous patients and a whole variety of vulnerable people. My family from my parents to my children have always received the up most care and gentle approach to all their treatment. Hest bank really stands out for it's professional care it gives whilst remaining friendly and very family feeling orientated practice. I couldn't recommend Hear Bank enough.

Very professional and caring always listening to my needs appropriate at the time

8th June 2025

From the moment I called to make a new appointment I felt at ease. I saw Arnie for a check up knowing I’d need a treatment plan and felt comfortable throughout the process. I also had a hygiene appointment with Jake and he was great. Everything was explained clearly and I had options to do what was best for me. Highly recommend!

7th June 2025

Jake the hygienist takes his time to explain what he is doing, and how to better care for my teeth. He’s punctual, polite and puts me at my ease. His assistant was lovely, too. They made me feel very comfortable, although I’m a nervous patient.

6th June 2025

Best Bank Dental is the first dental surgery I’ve ever used where I’m not terrified of the dentist. All the staff are friendly and make me feel “at home”. They remember my name, treat me with courtesy and respect in a comfortable environment.Katie Henry is fabulous. She explains everything and gives treatment advice without pushing it. Genevieve the hygienist is gentle and thorough. The reception staff are wonderful.

Katie and Toni are a great team. Both are really friendly and supportive. Katie is very thorough in her work and explains all aspects of the treatments in detail so you know what is happening and why. In my opinion Katie genuinely cares about delivering the best possible service to her customers, I would highly recommend her!
