Implant Dentures Warrnambool
Implant dentures are full over dentures that are supported by dental implants.
Unlike traditional dentures, implant dentures are fixed to the bone structure of your mouth using implants.
They function like real teeth and can resolve issues related to traditional dentures, such as poor chewing, difficulty speaking, falling out, and possible jawbone shrinkage.
Implant dentures can be inserted in both the upper and lower jaws.

“Quality is never an accident; it is the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skilful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.”
Preparing for Implant Dentures
Like with any dental implant, preparation for implant dentures will involve a complete exam along with 3D imaging of your mouth structure to create accurate models for the insertion of your implant.
It is necessary to locate nerves, sinuses and assess the jawbone dimensions to ensure optimal placement of the implants.
If you already have complete dentures, they can be retrofitted to attach to your implants.
If you do not have dentures, we will create them for you. This process usually takes four visits over the course of several weeks.
Implant Denture Options in Warrnambool
There are two major denture implant options to choose from:
Fixed Porcelain Bridge
This procedure includes 6 to 8 dental implants.
The porcelain bridge is very popular among patients because it provides a natural look and feels when you wear it.
It is designed to improve upon conventional dentures and make it easier to eat and speak as though you have real teeth.
A fixed porcelain bridge can also help return your facial structure and smile back to normal.
Hybrid Denture Bridge
The hybrid denture is a specialised non-removable prosthesis that is attached to your implants. This procedure will include 4 to 6 implants. It is normally performed to replace all teeth or regular dentures.
The hybrid denture is designed to make up for lost bone structure that can make it difficult to wear regular dentures. It also offers facial support in the case of extensive loss of mouth structure.
The bridge is permanently attached to your implants and can only be removed by a dentist.
How Long Will They Last?
Like real teeth, implant dentures are susceptible to wear and tear and the effects of time. To ensure their longevity, make sure to take care of your dentures as best as you can.
Factors such as shrinking gums cannot be avoided and may change the functionality of your dentures.
If this occurs, a new set of dentures or an adjustment to your dentures will resolve the issue.
The Implant Denture Procedure
Depending on the implant dentures of choice, you will require between 4 to 8 dental implants.
Implants are normally inserted into the bone structure in the front of the mouth, where there is usually more bone and support than in the rear of the mouth.
Dental implants require two surgeries, spaced approximately 3 to 6 months apart.
Your first surgery will involve placing the implant into the jawbone under the gum tissue, where it will need time to fuse together with the bone structure.
The second surgery will involve exposing the implants through the jawbone, after which they will be ready for attachment with your dentures.
Procedures for the upper jaw normally take about two months longer than procedures for the lower jaw.
You can expect the entire process of dental implant surgery and attachment with dentures to take about 5-7 months.
If your treatment is more complex and will involve bone grafting or other procedures, the entire process may take a year or longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Implant Denture
Are the dentures fixed or removable?
Implant-supported dentures may be permanently attached to the implants. These are not removed each night and are cleaned within the mouth. It’s also possible to have removable dentures supported by dental implants.
If the dentures can be permanent, why not replace all of the teeth with implants?
Dental implants are an excellent choice for replacing one or two missing teeth.
But for patients with an entire arch of missing teeth, installing an implant to replace each natural tooth can be prohibitively expensive.
The surgery is also far more extensive, and there may be a higher risk of complications. This is why professionals often recommend implant-retained dentures instead.
How many implants will I need?
To replace a full arch with a retained denture, patients will need at least two implants, but possibly three or four.
Your Warrnambool dentist will design your treatment plan based on medical factors that are unique to you.
How long does the implant denture procedure take?
The procedure typically takes 5 to 7 months and involves two surgeries spaced 3 to 6 months apart. However, if bone grafting or other procedures are required, it may take up to a year or longer.
Are implant dentures comfortable?
Yes, implant dentures are generally more comfortable than traditional dentures because they are securely fixed in place, reducing issues like slippage, discomfort, and difficulty eating or speaking.
Can I choose between different types of implant dentures?
Yes, there are two main types: fixed porcelain bridges (which require 6 to 8 implants) and hybrid denture bridges (which require 4 to 6 implants). Both options offer a natural look and improved function over traditional dentures.
Do I need to wear dentures before getting implants?
Not necessarily. If you already have dentures, they can often be retrofitted to attach to your implants. If you don’t have dentures, new ones will be created for you after the implants are placed.
How long do implant dentures last?
Implant dentures can last many years with proper care. However, like natural teeth, they are susceptible to wear and tear. Regular maintenance, such as adjustments or replacements, may be needed due to changes in your mouth, such as gum shrinkage.
Are implant dentures better than traditional dentures?
Yes, implant dentures offer several advantages over traditional dentures, including better stability, improved chewing ability, and reduced issues like slippage and discomfort. They also prevent jawbone shrinkage, which can occur with traditional dentures.
Will I experience pain during the procedure?
While some discomfort is normal after the surgery, the procedure is typically done under local anaesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable. Any pain following surgery can usually be managed with prescribed pain relief.
How should my implant dentures be maintained?
Implant dentures require regular cleaning, just like natural teeth. You should brush them daily, clean around the implants to prevent plaque buildup, and visit your Warrnambool dentist for regular check-ups to ensure they are functioning properly.
