Am I a candidate for implant dentures?

Many patients missing most or all teeth with adequate jawbone support are candidates for implant dentures. A consultation and oral assessment are required to determine suitability based on bone health and overall oral condition.

How long do implant dentures take from start to finish?

The implant denture process usually takes several months, as it involves implant placement, a healing period for osseointegration, and the fabrication and fitting of the custom dentures.

Are implant dentures more comfortable than traditional dentures?

Yes. Because implant dentures are anchored to implants that fuse with the jawbone, they are typically more secure and comfortable than conventional dentures, reducing slipping and improving chewing and speaking ability.

Do you offer implant denture services on Waiheke Island?

Yes. Clinical Smiles provides implant denture consultations and treatment planning for Waiheke Island patients, with options to continue follow-up treatments at our Auckland clinic if necessary.

IMPLANT DENTURES

Implant Dentures – Auckland and Waiheke Island

Implant dentures are an advanced dental solution that combines the stability and function of dental implants with the convenience of dentures. At Clinical Smiles Denture Clinic, we specialize in providing personalized implant denture services in Auckland and Waiheke Island, tailored to your individual needs.

What are implant dentures?

Implant dentures are a hybrid solution that combines dental implants with removable or fixed dentures. Small titanium posts (implants) are surgically placed into the jawbone to act like tooth roots. Once healed, custom dentures attach to these implants for superior stability and comfort.

They are the ideal solution for people who have lost all their dentition, with the added benefit of not having to wear adhesive to keep dentures in place, or worry that they will move while eating or talking.

The process of getting implant dentures typically involves multiple steps, beginning with a thorough evaluation and treatment planning by a certified dentist or dental surgeon. Following the surgical placement of the implants, a healing period is required to allow integration. Once healed, custom made dentures are made to fit onto the implants.

The Implant Denture Process

1. Consultation & Oral Assessment by a Certified Dentist or Oral Surgeon

A thorough oral health evaluation
Discussion of your goals and expectations
X-rays or scans if required

This helps the dentist/ surgeon determine whether implant dentures suit you.

2. Implant Placement Surgery

Titanium implants are surgically placed into the jawbone.
This procedure promotes osseointegration — the bone naturally fuses with the implant for strength and stability.

3. Healing & Integration

After surgery, a healing period (typically several months) allows implants to integrate fully with your jawbone.

4. Denture Attachment

Once healed, custom dentures are made and securely attached to the implants — either removable or fixed — depending on your preference and clinical needs.

Benefits of Implant Dentures

Enhanced Stability: Implants act as “roots” for the dentures, ensuring they stay securely in place.

Improved Chewing and Speech: Eat comfortably with added stability and confidence.

Improved Aesthetics: These dentures are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, restoring confidence in one’s smile.

Easy Maintenance: Implant dentures can be easily removed allowing for effective cleaning.

Bone Preservation: Dental implants help maintain jawbone density, drastically reducing bone loss that often occurs following losing teeth.
