Implant-Supported Dentures in Leeds — Restore Your Smile

Implant Dentures

The comfort of dentures. The stability of implants.

Traditional dentures slip. They cover the roof of your mouth. They affect taste, speech and confidence. Implant-retained dentures fix all of that. By anchoring your dentures to 2–4 dental implants, you get the full security of implants with the affordability and removability of dentures. No more adhesive. No more embarrassing moments. No more worrying whether they’ll stay put.

For existing denture wearers struggling with fit or confidence, implant dentures are often life-changing. For patients facing full tooth loss for the first time, they’re a superb alternative to traditional dentures. At Clarendons, we plan every case carefully with 3D imaging for precision placement and lasting results.

What are implant-retained dentures?

Secure, natural-feeling support

  • Implant-retained dentures (also called overdentures) are dentures that clip or screw onto 2–4 dental implants placed in your jawbone. The implants act as anchors, holding the denture firmly in place during eating and speaking.

  • Most implant dentures are still removable for cleaning — giving you the hygiene benefits of traditional dentures with the stability of implants. Some fixed-to-implants options stay permanently in place. Lower dentures typically use 2 implants; upper dentures often use 4 for better stability.

Features and benefits

Eat, speak, live with confidence

  • No more slipping

    Implants hold your denture firmly in place. Eat steak, corn on the cob, apples — without worrying about your dentures moving. Speak confidently. Laugh freely.

  • Preserves your jawbone

    Unlike traditional dentures, implants stimulate the jawbone like natural tooth roots — preventing the bone loss and facial shape changes that come with long-term denture wear.

  • Removable for cleaning

    Most implant dentures clip off for easy cleaning, then click back into place. Best of both worlds: the stability of implants with the hygiene convenience of removable dentures.

How much do implant dentures cost?

Significantly more stable. Often more affordable.

Implant denture pricing depends on the number of implants (2–4 typically), whether a new denture is made or your existing one is adapted, and the type of attachment system used. At your consultation we’ll provide clear, itemised pricing. Generally significantly less expensive than a full fixed arch (like All-on-4). Interest-free finance is available to spread the investment.

FAQs

Still have questions about implant dentures?

How long do implant dentures last?

The implants themselves can last a lifetime with proper care. The denture portion typically needs replacing every 5–10 years as gums change shape and materials wear. The attachment clips or o-rings inside the denture may need replacing annually or every few years. Overall, implant dentures are an extremely long-lasting solution when maintained properly.

Are implant dentures fixed or removable?

Most are removable — they clip onto the implants via small attachments. You take them out for cleaning, then click them back into place. Some patients opt for ‘fixed’ implant dentures that are screwed on permanently (more like All-on-4). Removable is more affordable, easier to clean and maintain, and suits most patients best. We’ll discuss both options at consultation.

How many implants do I need for implant dentures?

It depends on the arch. For a lower implant denture, 2 implants are usually sufficient because the tongue helps stabilise a well-fitting lower denture. For an upper implant denture, 4 implants are typically recommended for full stability (the upper jaw has softer bone and the palate-less design of implant dentures needs more anchors). Your 3D scan will confirm the right plan.

Can I upgrade my existing dentures to be implant-retained?

Often, yes. If your current dentures are in good condition and fit reasonably well, they can sometimes be modified to clip onto implants after placement. For older or poorly-fitting dentures, it may be better to make new dentures designed specifically for the implants. We’ll assess your current dentures at consultation and recommend the best approach.
