Implant-retained dentures
Removable dentures retained by dental implants, planned around clinical and maintenance needs.
Could this treatment help you?
An implant-retained denture clips onto a small number of implants instead of resting on the gums — it stays put when you eat and speak, and comes out for cleaning. It sits between a conventional denture and a fixed full arch in both security and cost.
Planning uses the practice’s on-site CBCT scanner, and the denture itself is made with the onsite laboratory.
This may suit you if
Your denture — usually a lower one — moves when you eat or talk, and adhesive has become part of daily life. If you have enough bone for a small number of implants, clipping the denture to them changes how it behaves entirely.
What it will not do
It is still a removable denture: it comes out for cleaning and its clips wear and need replacing over time. Implant surgery carries its usual requirements — adequate bone, healthy gums, honest discussion of smoking — all established at the CBCT assessment.
- A denture that stays put — no adhesive
- Removable for easy cleaning
- Made with the onsite laboratory; planned from a CBCT scan
- Step 1Assessment and scanThe CBCT scan confirms where implants can go.
- Step 2Written planImplants, denture and every cost in one written plan.
- Step 3Placement and healingThe implants are placed and left to integrate.
- Step 4FitThe denture is made, clipped in and adjusted until comfortable.
Afterwards
The denture comes out daily for cleaning, and the implants and clips are checked at reviews. Clips are consumable parts — replacing them periodically is normal maintenance, not failure.

Questions patients usually ask.
How is this different from All-on-4?
All-on-4 is fixed — only a dentist removes it. An implant-retained denture clips in and out and typically needs fewer implants, which usually makes it the less expensive option. The assessment compares both for your case.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the number of implants and the denture design — confirmed in one written plan before you agree.
Can my existing denture be adapted?
Sometimes, if it is well made and fits the planned implant positions — the assessment answers this honestly rather than assuming a new denture.
