What are implant-supported dentures?

A denture that stays where it belongs.

Conventional dentures rest on the gum and rely on suction or adhesive to stay in place. Over time, bone loss under the denture causes it to loosen further — leading to difficulty eating, speaking, and a loss of confidence.

Implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants placed in the jaw. The implants act as anchors, holding the denture firmly in position. They also stimulate the jawbone, slowing the bone loss that makes conventional dentures progressively less stable.

Removable overdenture or fixed implant denture?

Removable overdenture (snap-on denture)

Attaches to 2–4 implants via ball or bar attachments. Snaps securely in place for eating and speaking, but can be removed by the patient for cleaning. More affordable than a fixed option and easier to maintain.

Best for: patients who want stability without the cost of a fully fixed restoration

Fixed implant denture (All-on-4 / All-on-6)

A full-arch bridge is permanently screwed onto 4–6 implants. It cannot be removed by the patient — only by a dentist. Functions most like natural teeth of the options here. Requires more implants and a higher investment.

Best for: patients who want a fixed, non-removable solution

Why choose implant-supported dentures

The advantages over conventional dentures

No slipping or clicking

Implant anchors hold the denture firmly in place during eating, speaking, and laughing — greatly reducing the risk of a loose, embarrassing denture.

No adhesives needed

The implant attachments provide secure retention without messy creams or powders.

Bone preservation

Implants stimulate the jawbone, slowing the resorption that causes facial collapse and makes conventional dentures progressively looser.

Improved chewing ability

Implant-supported dentures restore significantly more chewing force than conventional dentures, allowing a wider and more comfortable diet.

Greater confidence

Knowing your denture is secure allows you to eat, speak, and socialise without anxiety about it moving.

Long-term value

While the upfront cost is higher than a conventional denture, implant-supported options typically last longer and avoid the ongoing cost of adhesives and relining.

Treatment timeline

What to expect — step by step

01

Consultation + 3D scan

A complimentary consultation includes a 3D CBCT scan to assess bone volume and determine how many implants are needed.

02

Implant placement

2–6 implants are placed under local anaesthetic (IV sedation available). A temporary denture may be worn during healing.

03

Osseointegration

Over 3–6 months the implants fuse with the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for the final denture.

04

Denture fabrication

Impressions are taken and the final denture or fixed bridge is custom-fabricated to fit your implants and facial profile.

05

Attachment and fitting

The denture is attached to the implants and adjusted for comfort, bite, and aesthetics.

Common questions

Implant Denture FAQs

How many implants do I need for an implant denture?

A removable overdenture typically requires 2–4 implants per arch. A fixed full-arch bridge (All-on-4 or All-on-6) requires 4–6 implants. Your 3D CBCT scan will determine the optimal number based on your bone volume and quality.

Can I get implant dentures if I have been wearing conventional dentures for years?

Yes, in most cases. Long-term denture wearers often have some bone loss, but bone grafting can rebuild volume where needed. Our team performs in-house bone grafting, so you do not need a referral to a separate specialist.

What is the difference between a snap-on denture and All-on-4?

A snap-on (overdenture) attaches to implants but can be removed by the patient for cleaning. All-on-4 is a fixed bridge permanently screwed onto implants — it cannot be removed at home. All-on-4 functions more like natural teeth; the overdenture is more affordable.

How do I clean implant-supported dentures?

Removable overdentures are removed and cleaned like a conventional denture. Fixed implant bridges are cleaned in the mouth using a water flosser and interdental brushes. Our hygiene team will demonstrate the correct technique at your fitting appointment.

Is the procedure painful?

Implant placement is performed under local anaesthetic. IV sedation is available for patients who prefer to be deeply relaxed. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
