Implant Retained Dentures in Perth
A more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures.
Loose or uncomfortable dentures can make eating, speaking, and smiling frustrating. Many people find that conventional dentures move, rub, or require adhesives to stay in place. Implant retained dentures offer a secure, supportive solution by anchoring dentures to dental implants placed in the jawbone.
At WA Dental, implant retained dentures are carefully planned to improve comfort, stability, and long-term function while remaining more affordable than full arch fixed implants for many patients.
Implant Retained Dentures
Living with loose or uncomfortable dentures can impact confidence, comfort, and everyday enjoyment of food. Many denture wearers experience ongoing movement, irritation, or difficulty chewing, even with well-made traditional dentures. Implant retained dentures offer a practical way to improve denture stability while maintaining the ability to remove the denture for cleaning.
Implant retained dentures are supported by dental implants placed into the jawbone, which act as secure anchors for the denture. Once healing is complete, the denture clips or locks into place, reducing movement and improving comfort during daily activities. This approach allows for better chewing efficiency and often reduces the need for adhesives, while still being less complex than fully fixed implant solutions.
At WA Dental, implant retained denture treatment is carefully planned using advanced imaging to ensure accurate implant placement and predictable outcomes. Each case is assessed individually, and if implant retained dentures are not the most suitable option, alternative treatments are explained clearly. Our goal is to provide a stable, long-term solution that improves comfort, confidence, and overall quality of life.

More on implant retained dentures
-
Implant retained dentures are removable dentures that are secured to dental implants rather than resting solely on the gums.
This typically involves:
placing two or more dental implants into the jawbone
attaching special connectors to the implants
allowing the denture to clip or lock into place
The denture remains removable for cleaning, but is far more stable during daily use.
-
Many patients choose implant retained dentures because they:
significantly reduce denture movement
improve comfort when chewing and speaking
reduce reliance on denture adhesives
help slow jawbone loss
provide greater confidence in social situations
They offer a balance between improved stability and affordability compared to fixed full arch implants.
-
You may be a good candidate if you:
currently wear dentures that feel loose or unstable
are missing most or all teeth in a jaw
want improved stability without fully fixed teeth
have adequate bone, or are open to grafting if required
If implant retained dentures are not suitable, we will explain alternative treatment options clearly.
-
Consultation and planning
A detailed assessment is performed, including examination and 3D imaging, to evaluate bone, gum health, and denture fit.
Implant placement
A small number of implants are placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic to act as anchors for the denture.
Healing phase
The implants integrate with the bone during healing, providing a stable foundation.
Denture fitting and attachment
Your denture is adjusted or newly made to attach securely to the implants while remaining removable for cleaning.
-
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, implant retained dentures can last many years. While implants do not decay, maintaining healthy gums and cleaning attachments properly is essential for long-term success.
-
Most patients find the procedure more comfortable than expected. Discomfort is usually mild and temporary, and we provide clear aftercare instructions to support healing and adjustment.
-
Costs vary depending on:
the number of implants required
bone quality and whether grafting is needed
whether an existing denture can be modified or a new one is required
overall treatment complexity
A clear treatment plan and transparent pricing are provided before treatment begins.
