What Are Implant-Retained Dentures?
Dental implants are placed into the jawbone to securely support full-arch restorations using implant-retained dentures. This option is ideal for those who experience denture slippage or discomfort from gum pressure sores. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-retained dentures transfer the force of your bite through the jawbone rather than the gums, making them much more comfortable and natural-feeling. They also help maintain your facial structure and prevent bone loss over time. For added flexibility, you can choose between snap-on (removable) or fixed (permanent) dentures.
Best of all, there are no food restrictions with implant-retained dentures — you can enjoy your meals with confidence.
The Technique
Two steps are necessary for this technique. The dental implants are first placed in your jaw during the initial treatment, and we then wait for them to heal and fuse with the bone. We will next attach abutments to the dental implants to establish the anchor for your denture after a healing period, often lasting 8 to 12 weeks. A permanently fixed denture or a detachable denture that snaps on are your options. Once they are finished, you should take care of your dentures just like you would your natural teeth.
Who Qualifies for Implant-Retained Dentures?
The ideal candidate for implant-retained dentures has good oral health and enough bone density in the jaw to support dental implants. Being a non-smoker is essential, as smoking can interfere with healing and increase the risk of implant failure. Some medical conditions may affect your suitability for treatment, but we’ll carefully assess this during your initial consultation and discuss all available options with you.

The Treatment Journey
Although every patient’s journey is different, here is what you can anticipate when you begin treatment at the Light Lane Dental Practice.
Schedule Your Appointment
To see if implant-retained dentures in Coventry are right for you, we’ll begin with a consultation. This allows us to understand your needs while enabling you to explore the treatment process and discuss the available finance options.
Treatment Phase
If you’re a candidate for treatment, we’ll take digital scans to plan the implant placement and create your custom dentures. Once the implants are placed, they’ll need time to heal and integrate with the jawbone. After healing, your final snap-on or fixed dentures will be securely fitted.

After your treatment is finished, you’ll regain the ability to eat, speak, and smile with ease. Our team will also provide clear aftercare guidance to support you in looking after your implant-retained dentures.
Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs)
Have a question about your implant-retained dentures? We’ve answered the most common questions below.
Who can benefit from implant-retained dentures?
Implant-retained dentures may be ideal for individuals who have lost many or all of their teeth and are seeking a more stable alternative to traditional dentures. Candidates should have healthy gums and sufficient bone support, as well as a commitment to ongoing dental care. Because smoking increases the risk of complications, smokers are usually not suitable candidates for this treatment.
Is it safe to wear implant-retained dentures overnight?
Yes, implant-retained dentures can be worn while you sleep. That said, it’s essential to clean them properly before bedtime and brush your teeth when you wake. This routine helps prevent plaque build-up and reduces the risk of bacteria affecting your oral health.
Can implant-retained dentures be taken out?
Implant-retained dentures are generally removable, but only by a qualified dentist. For added flexibility, some patients opt for snap-on versions, which can be taken out at home and cleaned in the same way as conventional dentures.
How many implants are required for implant-retained dentures?
The exact number of implants needed varies depending on your jawbone health and the style of denture chosen. After an assessment, your dentist will recommend the most suitable option. In most cases, between four and six implants are placed per arch to ensure a secure, long-lasting foundation for implant-retained dentures.
