Implant Retained Dentures on the Central Coast
Improve Stability with Implant Retained Dentures
If you’ve experienced loose or uncomfortable dentures, implant retained dentures may offer a more secure solution. These dentures are held in place by dental implants, helping to reduce movement while eating, speaking or smiling. At Complete Denture Clinic, we work with your implant provider to design a denture that attaches comfortably to your existing implants.
This option can be suitable for those who struggle with traditional dentures or have difficulty maintaining a proper fit. The result is a more stable, functional denture that stays in place during daily use. While not everyone is suited to implants, this service may be worth exploring if comfort is an ongoing concern.

What Are Implant Retained Dentures?
Implant retained dentures are removable prosthetic teeth that connect to small metal implants surgically placed in the jaw. These implants act as anchors, holding the denture in place with attachments such as clips or bars. Unlike conventional dentures, which rest on the gums, this type offers more stability and can improve comfort while eating or speaking.
Implant retained dentures are commonly used for the lower arch, where suction is limited, but they can be made for the upper arch too. They are taken out daily for cleaning, similar to standard dentures. This option blends the removability of dentures with the enhanced stability provided by dental implants.
