Top-rated dental implant centre in Sydney

Regular dentures (called traditional dentures) sit on top of your gums and are held in place by suction or glue. They can move around when you eat or talk, which might feel uncomfortable or even cause sore spots in your mouth. Since they don’t connect to your jawbone, the bone underneath can shrink over time, which can change how your face looks.

Implant-supported dentures are very different. They are attached to implants that are placed into your jawbone—kind of like how real teeth have roots. These dentures stay in place firmly, don’t slip, and feel more like natural teeth. They also help keep your jawbone healthy by stimulating it, so you don’t get that bone loss that happens with regular dentures. Implant dentures can be removable or fixed, depending on what’s best for you.

Most people need 4 to 6 implants per jaw to hold the denture in place. Four implants is usually enough to support a full set of teeth, but some people might need more, especially if they want a fixed option or have less bone in certain areas. Our dentist will check things like your bone strength, gum health, and the type of denture you want before deciding the exact number.

Yes, you can still get implant-supported dentures even if you’ve been wearing regular dentures for a long time. But before starting, our dentist will need to check your jawbone. If there’s not enough bone left (which can happen after years of wearing dentures), you might need a bone graft to build the bone back up so the implants have something strong to hold onto.

Implant dentures come in two types: removable and fixed. Removable dentures snap onto the implants and can be taken out for cleaning. Fixed dentures are permanently attached and feel more like natural teeth. Only a dentist can remove them. Our dentist will help you choose the best one based on your needs and lifestyle.

You may be a good candidate for denture implants if you have healthy gums, good general health, and enough jawbone to support the implants. Our dentist will look at X-rays, your medical history, and your oral health during your check-up. If you have certain health problems or have lost a lot of bone, you might still qualify—with some extra treatments or precautions.

Getting denture implants involves surgery, but it doesn’t usually hurt during the procedure because our dentist uses local anesthesia to a little sore or swollen numb the area. After the surgery, you might feel, but this is usually mild and can be controlled with over-the-counter pain medicine. Most people feel fine within a few days and say the process was easier than expected.

Sometimes, yes. If you don’t have enough strong jawbone to support the implants, our dentist may recommend a bone graft. This is a simple procedure that adds bone to your jaw to give the implants a solid foundation. Bone grafts are common, especially for patients who’ve been missing teeth for a long time or have worn dentures for years.

Insurance for denture implants can be tricky. Some insurance plans don’t cover implants at all, while others might pay for part of the treatment like the denture or related procedures. Implants are often seen as a cosmetic treatment, so many policies won’t include them fully. It’s a good idea to ask your insurance provider what’s covered, and our team can help you understand financing or payment plan options if needed.

That depends on the type you get. If your dentures are removable, you’ll need to take them out every day to brush them and clean around the implant posts. If your dentures are fixed, you can brush and floss them just like natural teeth. In both cases, you should see our dentist regularly to check that everything is healthy. Good cleaning helps your implants and gums last a long time!
