What Are Implant-Retained Dentures?
Implant-retained dentures are removable or fixed dentures that are anchored to dental implants rather than resting solely on the gums. The implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing strong support and reducing pressure on the gums and jawbone.
They are suitable for patients who have lost several or all teeth and want a more secure, natural-feeling solution. Implant-retained dentures offer a stable, long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures, providing improved comfort, function and confidence. If you struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures, this advanced treatment can transform your quality of life.
At Fitzroy Dental Practice, implant-retained dentures are carefully designed to restore your smile while ensuring excellent stability during eating, speaking and smiling. The denture is secured to dental implants placed in the jaw, preventing movement and eliminating the need for adhesives.

Your Implant-Retained Denture Treatment Journey
1. Assessment & Planning
We begin with a comprehensive examination to assess your oral health and jawbone density. X-rays or a CT scan may be required to plan the precise placement of the implants.
2. Implant Placement
A small number of titanium implants are placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. These implants will provide secure anchorage for your denture.
3. Healing Phase
The implants are left to integrate with the jawbone during a healing period. A temporary denture may be provided to maintain appearance and function during this time.
4. Denture Fitting
Once healing is complete, your custom-made denture is securely attached to the implants. The result is a comfortable, stable denture that looks and feels natural.
