Implant dentures are dentures that are secured to dental implants placed in the jawbone. The implants act as stable anchors, helping hold the denture firmly in place. This results in a more secure, comfortable fit compared to traditional dentures that rest on the gums alone.
The cost of implant dentures in Australia varies depending on the number of implants required, the type of denture used, and the complexity of the treatment. At Southern Dental, we understand that every smile is unique. Our implant denture treatments start from $10,000, however an initial consultation with one of our specialist prosthodontist will help us provide you with an accurate recommendation for the best solution for your smile.
Implant denture treatment usually involves several stages. First, dental implants are placed into the jawbone. After a healing period, during which the implants integrate with the bone, the denture is designed and securely attached to the implants. The full process can take several months, depending on individual healing and treatment requirements.
No. While both treatments use dental implants, an implant overdenture is removable and clips onto 2–4 implants, whereas All-on-X is a fixed bridge attached to 4–6 implants that only your prosthodontist can remove. Your prosthodontist will recommend the most suitable option based on your oral health and lifestyle needs.
With proper care, the dental implants themselves can last 15–25 years or longer. The denture attached to the implants typically lasts around 5–10 years and may need adjustments or replacement over time due to normal wear. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are key to maximising longevity.
Caring for implant dentures involves daily cleaning and maintaining good oral hygiene. Remove your denture and clean it with a soft brush and mild denture cleanser (avoid regular toothpaste). Brush your gums, tongue, and implant attachments while it's out, and soak the denture overnight. The small clips inside typically need replacing every 6–18 months, so regular check-ups is important to keep your implant dentures comfortable and secure.
Yes. Implant dentures are designed to be stable and secure, allowing most patients to eat a wide range of foods comfortably. Many people find they can enjoy firmer foods and chew more efficiently compared to wearing traditional dentures.
