Implant Supported Dentures
At V Care Dental, we offer high-quality implant supported dentures, helping patients to restore their smile. Implant supported fixed dentures are a modern solution for individuals who have lost multiple teeth or even a full arch. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest directly on the gums, implant supported dentures are securely anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This provides exceptional stability, improved comfort and enhanced functionality. Suitable for patients with good oral health and sufficient bone density, implant supported dentures offer a long-term, fixed solution for tooth loss. Key benefits include durability, aesthetics and improved oral health.
What Are Implant Supported Dentures?
Implant supported dentures, also known as overdenture implants or a fixed overdenture, are a hybrid solution that combines the security of dental implants with the coverage and appearance of full or partial dentures. Instead of relying solely on gum tissue for support, these dentures are attached to titanium implants embedded in the jawbone, resulting in a stable and reliable fit. This innovative design addresses several common issues associated with conventional dentures, such as slipping, discomfort and difficulty with eating or speaking. Implant supported dentures can replace a full set of upper or lower teeth, providing enhanced function, comfort and a natural appearance that closely mimics real teeth.
The Benefits of Implant Supported Fixed Dentures
Implant supported fixed dentures offer a range of benefits, including:
- They stimulate the jawbone and prevent bone loss, unlike traditional dentures that can accelerate bone shrinkage over time
- Aesthetics are significantly enhanced, as the dentures are custom designed to look like natural teeth
- Functionality is improved, enabling patients to eat, speak and smile confidently without worrying about their dentures slipping or becoming loose
- They feel more natural in the mouth, with no need for denture adhesives

01
Initial Consultation & Assessment
The journey starts with a comprehensive consultation, during which our dentist assesses your oral health, bone density and treatment goals. 3D scans will be conducted to evaluate your jawbone and plan implant placement.

Once your treatment plan is finalised, every detail is tailored to your unique needs.

Implant Placement Surgery
During the procedure, titanium implants are surgically embedded into the jawbone at strategic points to provide optimal support for the overdenture.

04
Healing & Osseointegration
Following implant placement, a healing period of several months is typically required. During this time, the implants integrate with the bone in a process known as osseointegration, ensuring a stable and secure foundation.

05
Custom Denture Creation & Attachment
Once the implants have fully healed, custom dentures are made and securely attached to the implants.

Post-Treatment Care
Post-treatment care and follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing, ensure proper fit and provide guidance on maintaining your new smile for years to come.
FAQs About
FAQs About Implant Supported Dentures
If you’re weighing up between a regular denture vs overdenture, here’s what you need to know. A regular denture rests directly on the gums, relying on suction or adhesives to stay in place. In contrast, an overdenture is secured to dental implants that are anchored into the jawbone, providing much greater stability and comfort.
Ideal candidates are those who have lost multiple teeth (or a full arch) and have sufficient jawbone to support implants. Patients should also have healthy gums and be free of severe periodontal disease.
The timeline can vary depending on individual cases, but on average, it can take four to six months to complete the full process, including healing time after implant placement.
Yes, implant supported fixed dentures are significantly more comfortable than traditional dentures. As they’re securely fixed to implants, they don’t slip or rub against the gums, and they feel much more like natural teeth.
Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss. This helps maintain facial structure and promotes long-term oral health, unlike traditional dentures, which can contribute to bone resorption over time.
