A secure alternative to traditional dentures

Implant retained dentures provide added stability and comfort for patients who wear dentures. By securing the denture to dental implants placed in the jawbone, this treatment helps prevent movement while eating or speaking and improves overall confidence.

This option combines the benefits of dental implants with the practicality of a denture, offering a more secure and comfortable solution than conventional removable dentures.

What are implant retained dentures?

Implant retained dentures are removable dentures that attach securely to dental implants using specialised connectors. The implants act as anchors, helping to hold the denture firmly in place while still allowing it to be removed for cleaning.

This type of denture is particularly beneficial for patients who struggle with loose or unstable dentures.

Benefits of implant retained dentures

Implant retained dentures offer a number of advantages, including:

  • Improved stability compared to traditional dentures
  • Greater comfort when eating and speaking
  • Reduced denture movement and irritation
  • Support for jawbone health
  • Easy removal for cleaning and maintenance

Personalised, carefully planned treatment

Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your oral health, jawbone structure, and suitability for implant retained dentures. Using modern planning techniques, we design a treatment plan that balances comfort, function, and long-term reliability.

Our clinicians focus on achieving predictable results while ensuring you feel informed and supported throughout your treatment journey.

Are implant retained dentures right for you?

Implant retained dentures may be suitable if you:

  • Wear dentures that feel loose or uncomfortable
  • Are missing multiple or all teeth
  • Want a more secure alternative to traditional dentures
  • Prefer a removable option with added stability

A full consultation will confirm whether this treatment is appropriate for your needs.

Long-term care and maintenance

Implant retained dentures require regular cleaning and routine dental check-ups to maintain both the denture and implants. We’ll provide clear guidance on how to care for your dentures and implants to help ensure long-term success.

Personalised care starts here

A consultation gives us time to understand your needs, explain your options clearly, and plan care that’s right for you.

Spread the cost of your treatment

We offer finance options through Chrysalis Finance to help make treatment costs more manageable. This allows eligible patients to spread the cost of treatment over time with clear, structured repayments. Finance is available at a representative 14.9% APR, subject to status and approval.

How the finance calculator works

Our finance calculator provides an indicative example of how treatment costs may be spread into monthly payments based on a 14.9% APR. Simply enter the estimated treatment cost and select a repayment term to view a guide price. Figures shown are for illustration only. Final repayment amounts will be confirmed following consultation and finance approval.

Using the calculator does not commit you to treatment or finance. It is designed to help you understand your options clearly, without pressure. Full details, including repayment terms and eligibility, will always be explained before you proceed.

Frequently asked questions

Practical guidance to help you understand our care, treatments, and what to expect.

How many implants are needed for implant retained dentures?

The number of implants required depends on the type of denture and the individual case. In many situations, two to four implants are used to retain a denture. Your dentist will advise on the most suitable option following a detailed assessment.

Can implant retained dentures be removed?

Yes. Implant retained dentures are designed to be removed by the patient for cleaning. They attach securely to implants while worn, but can be taken out daily to maintain good oral hygiene.

Are implant retained dentures comfortable?

Most patients find implant retained dentures significantly more comfortable than traditional dentures. The added stability reduces movement and pressure on the gums, helping improve comfort during everyday activities such as eating and speaking.

How long do implant retained dentures last?

With good care and regular dental check-ups, implant retained dentures can last many years. The implants themselves are designed to be long-lasting, while the denture may require maintenance or replacement over time due to normal wear.

Dental implants

Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. An implant is placed into the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture, restoring function and appearance in a way that closely mimics a natural tooth.

General dentistry

General dentistry covers routine and preventative dental care, including examinations, hygiene appointments, fillings, crowns, and monitoring of oral health. The aim is to maintain healthy teeth and gums, identify issues early, and reduce the need for more complex treatment.
