📍 Busanjin-gu, Seomyeon | 🦷 Prosthodontist Specialist | 🌐 English OK
CS Dental Hospital in Busan Seomyeon offers implant-stabilised denture treatment (틀니 임플란트) — supporting an existing or new denture with 2–4 implants that anchor it firmly in place. For patients struggling with loose, uncomfortable conventional dentures, implant stabilisation restores the confidence to eat, speak, and smile without fear of movement. A less invasive and more affordable alternative to full-arch implant rehabilitation.
Implant-stabilised dentures use 2–4 implants to lock the denture firmly in place — no more slipping or adhesive. Less invasive than full-arch implants. Prosthodontist specialist. 1-min from Seomyeon Station.

Denture Implant (Implant-Stabilised Overdenture) at CS Dental Busan
Conventional dentures rest on the gum tissue and rely on suction and adhesive to stay in place. As the jaw bone resorbs after tooth loss, dentures become progressively looser — making eating, speaking, and socialising uncomfortable. Implant-stabilised dentures solve this by placing 2–4 titanium implants into the jaw bone, which integrate over 2–3 months. The denture is fitted with snap-on attachments (locator abutments) that click securely onto the implant heads.
This is significantly less invasive than full-arch implant rehabilitation — fewer implants, lower cost, and suitable for patients with less bone who may not qualify for All-on-4. The denture remains removable for cleaning but does not move during eating or speaking.
Lower vs Upper Arch Denture Implants
Lower arch: 2 implants is the minimum for effective stabilisation — lower arch dentures are most prone to movement and 2 implants provides immediate, dramatic improvement. Upper arch: 4 implants recommended for effective retention against gravity. Can your existing denture be adapted? In many cases yes — if the denture is well-fitting, it can be modified to accept locator attachments, avoiding the cost of fabricating a new denture entirely.
What CS Dental Hospital Offers
Every implant case begins with 3D CT imaging and full prosthodontic assessment.

Prosthodontist-supervised from consultation to final restoration.
CT Scan & Implant Planning
CBCT confirms bone volume at implant sites. 2 vs 4 implants determined. Existing denture assessed for locator adaptation suitability.
Implant Placement

Osseointegration (2–3 Months)
Implants integrate with bone. Patient wears modified existing denture or temporary denture during healing period.
Locator Fitting & Snap-On Conversion
Locator abutments placed on integrated implants. Denture fitted with snap-on receivers. Patient clicks denture on and off — full stability.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
✓ Good Candidates
- Conventional denture wearers with loose or uncomfortable-fitting dentures
- Patients who want improved denture stability without the cost of full-arch implants
- Patients with adequate bone for 2–4 implants but not necessarily sufficient for All-on-4
- International patients wanting denture stabilisation completable during a Busan trip
ⓘ Important Considerations
- Full-arch implants (All-on-4) provide superior stability and function — denture implants are a less comprehensive but more accessible solution
- Implant integration requires 2–3 months — locator fitting is a second visit after healing
- Denture must be removed nightly for cleaning — not a completely fixed solution like All-on-4
