Implant-Retained Dentures in Edinburgh: A Denture That Doesn't Move
A new denture that clips onto 2 implants in your lower jaw or 4 in your upper jaw, planned by Dr Davinder Kalsi on the CT scanner at our Comely Bank practice. It costs less than fixed full-arch teeth, holds steady while you eat, talk and laugh, and still comes out to be cleaned.
From £8,500 per jaw. A free consultation comes first, then your written plan confirms the fee.2
Why Patients Choose Them
For anyone whose denture slips, rubs or relies on adhesive to stay in.
Stays in Place
It clips to the implants and holds firm while you eat, talk or laugh, with no adhesive.
Eat More Comfortably
You can bite and chew more confidently than a loose denture allows.
Fewer Sore Spots
A denture that stays still rubs your gums much less.
Removable to Clean
Lift it out, clean both the denture and the implants, and clip it back.
Fewer Implants Needed
Only 2 for a lower denture or 4 for an upper, so the cost is lower than full-arch implants.
Planned on Our CT Scanner
We plan every implant in 3D, then place it through a 3D-printed guide.
How It Works
We always make you a new denture with the attachments built into it, so it matches the implants precisely.
Free Consultation and CT Scan
We look at your gums, your bone and the denture you wear now, then explain the options and their fees. If you need a CT scan, it's £160.
Implants Placed
Placed through a 3D-printed guide, with local anaesthetic and IV sedation if you want it. You carry on wearing a denture as the implants heal.
Your New Denture Fitted
When healing is complete, normally a few months later, we make your new denture with its attachments built in and clip it into position.
Looking After It
Regular dental examinations and hygiene visits keep the implants in good health. The small clips inside the denture gradually wear, and we change them at a routine appointment.

When It Needs More Planning
The consultation and CT scan give you an honest answer on whether implants can work for you.
Clip-in Denture or Fixed Teeth?
Implants hold both. What separates them is whether they come out.
