Implant-Stabilised Denture

An implant-stabilised denture clips onto a small number of implants so a removable denture stays firmly in place instead of moving or slipping. It is a popular solution for patients who struggle with a loose lower denture, restoring confidence when eating and speaking while remaining removable for cleaning. MEDENT plans the implant positions with 3D CBCT imaging and confirms the approach at an implantology consultation.

An implant-stabilised denture — sometimes called an overdenture — combines the coverage of a removable denture with the security of dental implants. A small number of implants are placed in the jaw and fitted with attachments onto which the denture clips, so it is held firmly in position yet can still be taken out for cleaning. This addresses one of the most common frustrations with conventional dentures, particularly in the lower jaw, where a plate can move, rub or slip; by anchoring to implants, the denture becomes far more stable for comfortable eating and clearer speech, and the implants also help to preserve the underlying bone. At MEDENT this treatment is planned with 3D CBCT cone-beam imaging to assess bone and position the implants accurately, and it is delivered by a team experienced in both implant surgery and prosthetics. The pathway usually involves a consultation and imaging, placement of the implants, a healing period during which the implants integrate with the bone, and then connection and fitting of the stabilised denture with its attachments. The clinic prices this from a base figure because the total depends on how many implants are used and the type of denture chosen, which the dentist will discuss with you. An implant-stabilised denture is well suited to people with no or few remaining teeth in an arch who want a secure, removable solution, and good hygiene and periodic reviews help keep both the implants and the denture in good condition. Your suitability, bone and the most appropriate design are assessed at the implantology consultation.
