Implant Dentures

An implant-supported denture is supported by and attached to implants. A regular denture rests on the gums, and is not supported by implants.

An implant-supported denture is used when a person doesn’t have any teeth in the jaw, but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants. An implant-supported denture has special attachments that snap onto attachments on the implants.

The high level features of implant dentures are as follows:

• Replaces all missing teeth
• Full Denture supported by implants
• Fixed in the mouth, not removable
• Provide a long lasting, reliable and stable replacement when cared for properly
• Can eliminate the pain caused by ill-fitting dentures
• Help to preserve the jawbone
• Can help to maintain the shape of the face
• Restore lost lip support and can help to minimise the appearance of wrinkles
• Can allow for a change in eating habits, facilitating healthy eating
• May increase your confidence in eating and smiling
