Your Treatment at a Glance
Denture stabilisation provides a more secure alternative to loose removable dentures by using small implants or attachments that keep the denture firmly in place. This improves comfort, reduces slipping, and supports better chewing, speech, and confidence.
At Polegate Dental Practice in East Sussex, this treatment offers a reliable way to enhance stability and protect long-term oral health. It can also help maintain jawbone structure and facial shape, giving patients a more natural feel and greater day-to-day comfort.

Understanding Denture Stabilisation
Denture stabilisation involves using small implants or precision attachments to hold a removable denture securely. These components act as anchor points, allowing the denture to connect firmly while still being removable for cleaning. This approach provides a structured, predictable method for improving how a denture sits and functions.
At Polegate Dental Practice, treatment is carefully planned through clinical assessment, digital imaging, and a discussion of suitable attachment designs. When required, implants are placed under local anaesthetic, and the denture is adapted or remade to connect properly. Once healed, the attachments are fitted and fine-tuned to achieve a stable, comfortable result.
The Right Candidate
You might be a suitable candidate for denture stabilisation in Polegate, East Sussex, if any of the following apply:
- Troubling denture movement: If your dentures slip or cause sore spots, stabilisation can provide secure retention and greater day-to-day comfort and confidence.
- Poorly-fitted existing dentures: When dentures no longer fit due to bone loss or changing contours, attachments can improve retention and facial support significantly.
- Sufficient jawbone or willing for grafting: Ideal candidates have enough bone to support implants or are willing to consider minor grafting to create a stable foundation.
- Seeking improved function: Anyone wanting better chewing, clearer speech, and more confidence in social settings benefits from a stable, implant-retained denture solution.
Importance of Denture Stabilisation
Improved retention
Denture stabilisation secures your denture to prevent slipping, reducing sore spots and delivering much greater day-to-day confidence and comfort.
Enhanced comfort
Custom attachments and precise fittings reduce movement and irritation, offering comfortable wear throughout meals and social situations every day.
Improved chewing
Anchored dentures restore chewing efficiency, allowing more diet options and better nutrition without the fear of displacement or discomfort.
Bone preservation
Implant-supported attachments stimulate the jawbone, helping reduce bone loss and maintain facial contours that often change after tooth loss progression.
Better speech
Stabilised dentures improve speech clarity by preventing movement and allowing natural tongue and lip function during conversations.
Long-term value
With regular maintenance, stabilised dentures reduce the need for future adjustments and replacements, offering a cost-effective, reliable solution over time.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Take a look at the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about this treatment.
How do implant-retained dentures stay in place?
Implant-retained dentures are securely anchored using small titanium implants placed in the jawbone. These implants act as stable anchors, allowing dentures to snap firmly into position for improved comfort, stability, and confidence while eating or speaking.
Can I eat normally with denture stabilisation?
Yes, once your implants have integrated and the denture is fitted, you can enjoy a wide variety of foods again. The added stability reduces movement, allowing for comfortable chewing of both soft and firmer foods with confidence.
How long do denture stabilisation implants last?
With excellent oral hygiene, regular dental reviews, and proper maintenance, denture stabilisation implants can last for many years, often over a decade. They offer a long-term, secure solution for denture wearers seeking stability and comfort.
