What is an implant-retained denture?

An implant-retained denture (sometimes called a snap-on denture or overdenture) clips onto dental implants in your jaw. The implants stop the denture lifting or sliding, but you can still take it out each night to clean it. It is a popular choice for people whose lower denture never feels secure.

Could it help you?

A lower denture that floats

The lower jaw gives a denture little to grip. Even two implants can make it feel far more secure.

Sore gums and adhesive

Less movement means less rubbing, and many people no longer need fixative.

Eating out with confidence

A secure denture makes it easier to enjoy a meal with family and friends without worrying.

Caring for a parent?

Many families ask on behalf of a parent. A clip-on denture is still easy to remove and clean, and we can talk through what suits their health and routine.

Your treatment step by step

  1. Consultation (£75)
    We look at your current denture, examine your mouth and explain your options and costs. The fee is taken off your treatment if you go ahead.
  2. 3D scan and plan
    A CBCT scan shows your bone so the implants can be carefully positioned.
  3. Implant placement
    The implants are placed under local anaesthetic. You normally keep wearing a denture while they heal.
  4. Clips fitted
    Once the implants have bonded with the bone, usually after a few months, the clips are fitted and your denture is secured.

Implant-retained dentures: common questions

How many implants will I need?

For a lower denture, two implants can make a big difference and four add extra stability. Upper dentures usually need four or more. Your scan and examination decide what is right for you.

Can my current denture be used?

Sometimes. If it fits well and is in good condition, clips may be added to it. Otherwise a new denture is made to fit the implants.

Is there an age limit?

Age alone is rarely the deciding factor. Your general health, your bone and how easily you can keep the area clean matter more. We will discuss this with you openly.

Does it hurt?

Implants are placed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some tenderness afterwards is normal. We do not offer sedation.

Are implant dentures available on the NHS?

Implants are very rarely available on the NHS. We provide them privately, and NHS dentures remain an option we can discuss.
