Overview
About implant retained dentures
Advances in implant and denture technology mean the two now work together. A complete denture held firmly by dental implants lets you chew far more effectively than a conventional denture, without affecting your speech. Many patients find their enunciation improves.
Because implants distribute chewing forces evenly across the jawbone rather than pressing on the gums, they also help preserve the bone and the proportions of your face. The result is a natural-looking smile with a bite comparable to natural teeth.

What to expect
Your visits, step by step
Free consultation and assessment
We assess whether an implant retained denture suits you and explain how we work with your dentist or implant surgeon, with a written quote for the denture stage.
Implant placement
The implants themselves are placed by a dentist or specialist. We coordinate closely with them on positioning and timing.
Denture design and try-in
Once the implants are ready, impressions are taken and the denture is designed and tried in for look, bite and fit.
Fitting and maintenance
The denture is fitted to the implant attachments. We show you how to remove, clean and care for it, and review the attachments at your check-ups.

Questions
Common questions about implant retained dentures
Do you place the implants?
No. Dental implants are placed by a dentist or specialist. Our prosthetists are qualified in the construction and fitting of the implant retained denture and work closely with your dentist throughout.
Can my existing denture be converted to an implant retained denture?
Sometimes. It depends on the condition of your current denture and the implant positions. We can assess this at your free consultation.
Is an implant retained denture removable?
Yes. Implant retained dentures clip onto the implants for a secure fit during the day and are removed for cleaning, usually at night.
Can I claim on my health fund?
The denture component may be claimable under your extras cover depending on your policy. We process HICAPS claims on the spot for the part we provide.
