OVERVIEW
Loose dentures that slip while eating or talking can make everyday moments feel uncertain. Denture adhesive helps for a while, but it is rarely a permanent fix.
At The Windsor Dental Practice, implant retained dentures clip securely onto dental implants, giving your denture a stable foundation without the need for adhesive. The result is a fit you can trust, whether you are eating, speaking, or smiling.
Traditional dentures rest on the gums rather than being anchored into the jawbone. As the jawbone naturally changes over time, a denture that once fitted comfortably can gradually become loose and less secure.
Implant retained dentures are removable dentures that securely clip onto a small number of dental implants placed in the jawbone. These implants act as stable anchors, providing far greater support than traditional dentures that rely on suction or adhesive alone.
Unlike a fixed restoration, implant retained dentures can still be removed by the patient each evening for cleaning, just like conventional dentures. However, while they are in place, they provide significantly improved stability, comfort, and confidence when eating and speaking.
Because they are removable rather than permanently fixed, implant retained dentures sit between traditional dentures and a full-arch fixed solution such as All-on-4 dental implants. They offer enhanced stability without the commitment of a permanently fixed restoration.
Both treatments use dental implants to improve upon traditional dentures, but they are designed to meet different needs and preferences.
Implant retained dentures are suitable for many people who struggle with loose or unstable dentures. During your consultation, your dentist will assess your oral health and determine whether this treatment is the right solution for your needs.
Patients who already wear dentures often adapt quickly to implant retained dentures because the design is familiar while providing significantly greater stability.
Your jawbone needs enough healthy bone to support dental implants. We assess this using our in-house CBCT scanner for precise treatment planning.
This treatment is ideal for patients missing most or all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, rather than replacing individual missing teeth.
Your gums should be healthy and free from active gum disease before implant treatment begins to help achieve the best long-term outcome.
Medical conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes or factors that may affect healing are reviewed carefully during your consultation.
Every implant retained denture treatment follows a carefully planned process, from your initial consultation to fitting your new secure denture.
Your dentist reviews your medical history, examines your gums, and uses our in-house CBCT scanner to assess bone density and confirm your suitability for treatment.
A small number of titanium implants are carefully placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. Most patients experience pressure rather than pain during this stage.
Over the following 3 to 6 months, the implants naturally fuse with the jawbone, creating a secure foundation that will support your new denture.
Once healing is complete, your custom-made denture is fitted and securely clipped onto the implants, providing improved comfort, confidence, and stability.
Looking after your implant retained dentures properly helps protect your implants, maintain healthy gums, and keep your denture fitting securely for many years.
Choosing an experienced implant provider helps ensure your treatment is carefully planned, professionally delivered, and fully supported from your first consultation through to long-term aftercare.
