Traditional dentures rely on suction or adhesive to stay in place, which can sometimes feel loose or wobbly. Implant-retained dentures are secured to implants, so they feel far more secure and allow you to chew more confidently.
Not necessarily. Often, just 2 to 4 implants are enough to stabilise a denture. This makes them a more affordable alternative to having a full set of individual implants.
The implants are placed under local anaesthetic, so you’ll be completely numb during treatment. Some tenderness afterwards is normal, but most patients are surprised at how manageable the recovery is.
Yes. The dentures can be removed for cleaning, but when they’re in place, they’ll feel secure and stable. It’s the best of both worlds – easy care and everyday confidence.
With good oral care and regular checkups, implants can last for decades. The dentures themselves may need replacing or adjusting over time, but they’ll continue to give you a strong, reliable smile.
