Denture Stabilisation
Denture Stabilisation in Leicester – Secure, Natural and Long-Lasting
If your dentures feel loose or move while eating or speaking, you don’t have to put up with discomfort or embarrassment. At 44 Dental Care in Leicester, we specialise in advanced denture stabilisation to give you a secure, confident smile again.
Using implant-retained and precision-fit dentures, our Prosthodontist-led team ensures comfort, function and lifelike aesthetics — without adhesives or slippage.
“Eat, speak and smile with confidence again.”
What Is Denture Stabilisation?
Denture stabilisation involves securing your existing or new dentures using dental implants or precision attachments, so they stay firmly in place while you chew, talk or laugh.
This treatment is ideal for anyone struggling with loose dentures or irritation caused by movement.
You may benefit from denture stabilisation if you:
- Experience loose or slipping dentures
- Find chewing or speaking difficult
- Have sore or irritated gums
- Want a long-term, natural-feeling solution
- Are seeking improved confidence and comfort
Our Denture Stabilisation Options
Implant-Retained Dentures
The most secure and advanced option available. Small titanium implants are gently placed in the jawbone and act as permanent anchors for your denture. Once healed, the denture attaches to the implants via precision fittings such as Locator® attachments.
Lower Denture Stabilisation with Two Implants
The gold-standard approach for lower dentures involves placing two dental implants in the lower jaw to securely anchor a full denture.
This dramatically improves stability, comfort and chewing power — often transforming daily life for patients who previously struggled with movement or soreness.
Benefits:
- Exceptional stability with no slipping
- Allows confident eating of most foods
- Prevents bone shrinkage and facial sagging
- Feels natural and comfortable
- Can last 10–20 years with proper care
All implant and stabilisation procedures at 44 Dental Care are carried out by our Prosthodontist, a specialist in restorative and implant dentistry, ensuring optimal function and precision.
Precision Attachments and Locators
If you prefer not to have full implants, precision attachments offer a reliable semi-permanent alternative. These discreet mechanical connectors attach your denture to either natural teeth or existing implants.
Benefits:
- Secure fit without adhesives
- Easy to remove for cleaning
- Suitable for full or partial dentures
- Comfortable, hygienic and affordable
Soft Liners and Relines
For patients who already wear dentures but find them uncomfortable, soft liners can cushion the gums and enhance the fit without replacing the denture.
Benefits:
- Relieves soreness from hard acrylic bases
- Quick and gentle chairside procedure
- Affordable improvement in comfort and suction
- Ideal as an interim or maintenance option

What is the best stabilisation method for me?
Your choice depends on bone quality, oral health and personal preferences. We’ll assess and recommend the most suitable option during your consultation.
Is treatment painful?
No. Local anaesthetic ensures comfort throughout, and most patients report minimal discomfort.
How long does treatment take?
Soft liners can be fitted in one visit, while implant-based stabilisation may take several months for healing and integration.
Can I eat normally afterwards?
Yes. Once stabilised, you can enjoy eating confidently — even tougher foods — without worry of movement.
Will my dentures look natural?
Yes. We use premium VITA® teeth and custom shading for a lifelike, natural result.
