Implant-Supported Dentures

Enjoy improved stability and comfort with implant-retained dentures.

About the Treatment

Implant overdentures are removable dentures that are supported and stabilised by dental implants. Instead of resting only on the gums, the denture securely clips onto implants placed in the jaw, providing improved retention and comfort.

Treatment involves implant placement, a healing period, and then customising the denture to attach to the implants. The main benefits are better stability, stronger chewing ability, and greater confidence compared with traditional dentures.

However, implant overdentures still need to be removed for cleaning and involve a surgical phase and higher cost than standard dentures. Alternatives include conventional complete dentures or fixed implant bridges, depending on suitability. After care includes daily removal and cleaning of the denture, careful hygiene around implant attachments, and regular maintenance visits to keep components in good condition.

Key Benefits

Benefits & Why It Works

  • Clips securely onto implants

  • Reduces movement during eating and speaking

  • Distributes chewing forces more evenly

  • Improves denture retention

  • Supports long-term oral health

Implant overdentures work by attaching to integrated implants, creating a secure base while still allowing easy removal for cleaning.

I had terrible experiences with dentists growing up, so as an adult I only go to dentists under duress. Tried 4 dentists and I finally struck gold with Dr Asa and his team! Now I have no issues going for my yearly check, I also am going through Angel aligners treatment because it's actually more affordable ($4,000 k cheaper than what I was quoted elsewhere). Dr Asa is super gentle and explains things well, his assistants must be telepaths because they always know what's needed, and Hola at reception is a lean mean efficient machine πŸ’ͺ Oh and he has Netflix on the ceiling for distraction πŸ˜† highly recommend if you're a wimp like me.

I hate going to the dentist! Dentist Roy was gentle and did a great job on 2 fillings, I couldn't feel my face so it was great that they said come back tomorrow for adjustment if my bite wasn't right. Its great they said that without me having to ask. 10/10.

I’ve been to a couple of dentists but this one is the best! Great staff who took care of my needs. The principal dentist Mr Asa Vete took the time to listen to my worries and explained my options. Much appreciated! Thank you and highly recommend.

I was feeling so nervous and embarrassed about my teeth after pregnancy and Dr Asa was so caring and understanding. I felt super validated and we have made a plan to fix my teeth in a way that works both financially and time wise for me. Thanks team!

Made my first visit back to the dentist after 10 years. Full mouth check up explained clearly, needed a root canal but the team made sure I was comfortable. Puts YOU first before money. Such a great team!
