Most Stable Partial
Implant-Retained Partial Dentures
A partial that never moves.
Implant-retained partials use one or two implants to anchor the partial in place. No clasps that hook visible teeth. No shifting during meals. No relying on adhesive. The most stable removable partial option available.

Implant-Retained Partial Dentures — what patients ask
Usually one or two for an implant-retained partial — far fewer than the four needed for a full-arch All-on-4. Exact number depends on your case.
The partial is removable for cleaning. The implants are permanent — they live in your jaw long-term.
Often yes. We can plan an implant placement under your existing partial and design new attachments without remaking the whole partial.
Implant placement is generally not covered by the CDCP. Many extended insurance plans cover partial denture costs but not implant surgery. We walk through your specific coverage at consultation.
