Support for your denture.
An implant-retained denture connects to implants through attachments while remaining removable for cleaning. It may be an option if you would like to discuss additional support for a denture.
The assessment considers your current denture, the shape of the ridge, available bone and the way your upper and lower teeth meet. The surgical plan and the denture design need to work together, with clear arrangements for restorative care and follow-up.
What to consider
The denture and implant attachments need daily care. Components can wear and require adjustment or replacement. The number of implants, treatment stages and suitability of an existing denture can only be confirmed after assessment.
General patient information: NHS information on dentures. Your own treatment advice follows an individual assessment.
A little more clarity.
01Is this a fixed set of teeth?
No. An implant-retained denture is designed to be removed. If you are interested in a fixed restoration, ask about how it differs from a removable option.
02Can my existing denture be used?
Sometimes an existing denture may be adapted, but a new one may be needed. Its condition and fit must be assessed alongside the implant plan.
03Will I still need follow-up appointments?
Yes. The denture, attachments, implants and surrounding tissues need ongoing review. Your team will explain a cleaning and maintenance routine suited to your restoration.
