Jawbone Shrinking? We Can Help
Long-term denture wear causes bone loss. Stop the shrinkage and rebuild your foundation with implants.
✓ Bone Grafting Available · ✓ All-on-4 (No Graft) · ✓ Prevent Facial Collapse
If you have worn dentures for many years, you may have noticed they become loose more frequently, requiring more adhesive or relining. This is not just because the denture is wearing out—it is because your jawbone is shrinking.
Natural tooth roots stimulate the jawbone with every bite, keeping it strong and dense. When teeth are removed, this stimulation stops, and the body resorbs the bone. Over 10-20 years, the lower jaw can shrink to a flat ridge, making it impossible for a traditional denture to stay in place.
At Dental Implants London, we specialize in treating patients with severe resorption. We use specific implant techniques designed to maximize whatever bone remains, restoring your ability to chew and halting further loss.
The "Denture Face" Effect
Bone Resorption
The jawbone recedes vertically and horizontally. This is why dentures that used to fit perfectly now feel too big or wobble.
Facial Collapse
As the bone shrinks, the distance between nose and chin decreases. The lips curl inward, and wrinkles around the mouth deepen, aging the face.

It's Not Too Late
Even with minimal bone, we can often provide a fixed solution without the need for hip grafts or extensive hospitalization.
All-on-4 (The Game Changer)
By tilting the back implants, we can anchor them into better quality bone towards the front of the jaw, bypassing the shrunken areas.
Short & Narrow Implants
We use specialized implants designed for atrophic jaws that require less vertical bone height.
Restoring Lip Support
Our fixed bridges are designed with a pink porcelain gum and teeth positioned to plump out the lips, reversing the "collapsed" look.
Secure Your Smile
Stop the bone loss process today. Implants provide the stimulation your jaw needs to stay healthy.
