Loose Denture Solution in Gurgaon

Why has my denture become loose over time?

The most common reason is jawbone shrinkage. Once natural teeth are lost, the underlying jawbone slowly resorbs because it no longer has tooth roots stimulating it. Over years of denture wear, the bone shrinks beneath the denture and the denture stops fitting the way it used to. Other contributors include weight loss, changes in the gum tissue, and the denture itself wearing down. This is not your fault and it is not unusual — almost every long-term denture wearer experiences it eventually.

How do implant-retained dentures work?

An implant-retained denture is a removable denture that snaps securely onto two to four small dental implants placed in the jaw. The implants act as anchors. You still take the denture out for cleaning, but while it is in your mouth it stays firmly in place — no more slipping while eating or speaking, and no need for messy denture adhesive. It is the most common modern solution to fix loose dentures and is significantly more affordable than fully fixed teeth.

What is the difference between implant-retained and implant-supported dentures?

An implant-retained denture is removable — it clips or snaps onto two to four implants and you take it out at night for cleaning. An implant-supported denture (or implant bridge) is fixed — it is screwed onto four to six implants and only your dentist can remove it for cleaning. Both eliminate slipping. The retained type is more affordable and easier to keep clean at home. The supported type feels closer to having natural teeth and is the choice for patients who want a truly permanent solution. The right one depends on your bone, budget, and preference.

How many implants are needed to fix a loose denture?

For an implant-retained (snap-on) lower denture, two implants is the minimum and usually enough to eliminate slipping. Four implants in the lower jaw gives even more stability. For an upper jaw, four implants is generally preferred because the upper bone is softer. For a fully fixed implant-supported denture, four to six implants per arch is the standard, depending on the case. The exact number is decided after a CBCT 3D bone scan that shows what your bone can support.

How much does a denture stabilisation implant solution cost in Gurgaon?

Costs vary by the number of implants and the type of denture. A two-implant snap-on lower denture is the most affordable option and a major upgrade from a conventional denture. A four-implant retained denture costs more but gives better stability, especially for the upper jaw. A fully fixed implant-supported denture is the most expensive but feels closest to natural teeth. A written, all-inclusive estimate listing every option is provided at your free consultation. Implants from ₹25,000 per implant; EMI and insurance options available.

Can I keep my existing denture and just add implants?

Often yes. If your current denture is in good condition and fits reasonably well, the implants can be placed and your existing denture modified with the attachment clips that snap onto them. This is a quick and economical upgrade. If your denture is old, worn, or no longer fits the changed shape of your gums, a new denture is made on top of the implants for the best result. The right approach is decided at the consultation after examining your current denture and bone.
