Do they take the cheaper, non-surgical option of conventional dentures, or do they opt for more expensive but longer-lasting dental implants? It can be a tough decision as they both have advantages and disadvantages.
Thankfully, our implant-retained dentures here in Northampton represent a middle ground, somewhere between the two. Now, patients can experience the stability that implant-retained appliances bring, allowing them to eat and speak with confidence, alongside the familiarity of removable dentures.
In other words, implant-retained dentures provide a stable solution but without the larger cost implications of a full mouth reconstruction, or All-On-4.
Implant-retained dentures are a secure and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums, these clip onto specially designed implants anchored into the jaw.
So while they remain removable for easy cleaning, implant-retained dentures provide enhanced stability and functionality, making them a game-changer for patients who have previously struggled with multiple missing teeth or long-term denture wear.
Essentially, implant-retained dentures allow you to remain fully confident in your smile restoration without the worry of movement or discomfort.
BACK TO Dental ImplantsAt Rowtree Dental, our dentists have worked with many cases where full-arch rehabilitation is required. While treatments like All-On-4 or All-On-6 are an option, they may not be within everyone’s budget. Additionally, some people may like the thought of implants but prefer to stick with something they already know.
Although a patient’s existing denture can, in some cases, be adapted to fit an implant attachment, we prefer to design a new custom denture that provides better functionality, fit and comfort. If you can relate to any of the above, our implant-retained dentures in Northampton could be for you! Either way, we’ll talk you through your options with full transparency so you can make a better-informed decision.

On the whole, living with implant-retained dentures represents reassurance and peace of mind – something that you might not always get with conventional denture appliances, particularly one that can let you down when you least expect it.
