What are implant-retained dentures?

Dentures are a type of dental prosthesis — often referred to as ‘false teeth’ — made of acrylic material to replace a full set of teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Unfortunately, without secure placement, they can feel loose and even fall out. To avoid this, we attach the denture to implants placed in the jaw, and the easy removal makes cleaning and maintenance simple.

The implants have clips that stabilise the denture, ensuring comfort and security when eating and speaking. Implant-retained dentures can be either fixed, where they are secured permanently to the implants (like All-On-4®), or removable and able to be ‘clipped’ on and off. Your dentist will help you understand which is best suited for your personal needs.

Why get dentures?

Fixed implant bridges are an ideal solution for patients who need to replace an entire arch of teeth. Removable implant dentures are better suited to patients who may not need to replace an entire arch, but are still in need of significant help. Either type offers a variety of benefits, including:

  • Stability: By attaching to implants, your prosthetic arch of teeth is fitted into your mouth, retained by ‘clips’ that provide retention while you talk and eat.

  • Facial aesthetics: Dentures can help support the lips and cheeks, providing support from underneath.

Our procedure

We take a detailed 3D digital impression of your existing teeth and mouth anatomy, which is used to plan your denture with precise measurements.

After performing a thorough examination of your teeth and mouth and performing 3D radiography, a jaw bone volume assessment is used to identify appropriate locations to place the implants. We then perform the surgery under local or general anaesthesia.

After your implants have integrated with the surrounding bone, the custom prosthesis is delivered and clips are attached to the undersurface of the denture, in turn attaching to the implants.

FAQs

Dentures vs implants — what's better?

Implants and dentures each offer a different set of advantages and things to consider. Whether implants are better for you than dentures, or the other way around, will depend on your individual circumstances. You can find out more in our comprehensive breakdown of dentures vs implants for tooth replacement.

The cost of implant-retained dentures will vary depending on the number of implants needed and the complexity of their placement. Additional treatments like bone grafting and tooth extractions will also increase the cost if they are necessary. Implant-supported overdentures start from $12,000. Our team will be able to provide a comprehensive breakdown of your treatment costs after a consultation.

Implant-retained dentures offer a number of advantages over traditional dentures, particularly in their stability and fit. Where traditional dentures rely on their shape alone to stay fitted, and sometimes the use of adhesives, implant retained dentures are kept securely in place by the use of small ‘clips’ that attach to the implants preventing them from easily falling out and providing a more natural fit. The placement of implants helps to prevent bone loss in the jaw.

Implant dentures are designed to last for many years with proper care and maintenance. The implants themselves may last a lifetime if looked after, though the ‘clips’, ‘o-rings’ and denture teeth may need to be replaced over time due to wear. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices and regularly attending a check-up at the dentist will help to maximise longevity.
