Whilst most patients are happy with traditional dentures, some prefer the added strength and confidence offered by denture implants secured with a dental implant.
An implant supported denture is fixed to tooth implants, providing greater stability. They are ideal for those with a missing tooth or who are missing all upper or lower teeth.
At South Coast Denture Clinic, we specialise in implant-supported dentures, blending the durability of implants with the comfort and look of natural dentures.

Implant-supported dentures are dentures that attach to dental implants instead of relying on your gums alone. Each denture implant is anchored in your jawbone, and the denture attaches to it via an abutment, giving greater stability than conventional dentures.
They suit people missing all of their upper or lower teeth, and you may also hear them called implant-retained dentures.
For many people, yes. Full denture implants cost more than conventional dentures because the treatment involves surgically placing dental implants as well as making the denture. In return, you get greater stability when eating and speaking, and the implants help preserve your jawbone.
Conventional dentures are less expensive and non-surgical, so the right choice depends on your oral health, budget and priorities. We’ll talk you through both options at your free consultation.
Implant placement comes first: the dental implants are placed in your jawbone and given time to heal. Your final denture then sits on the gum like a traditional denture, but it attaches to the implants via an abutment, securing it firmly in the jawbone.
On the upper jaw, an implant-retained denture allows the palate to be exposed, giving a more natural feel that can return flavours and sensations you may not get with a full palate.
On the lower jaw, an implant-retained denture is recommended because it dramatically improves stability and function, preventing the excess movement generally seen with a conventional denture in the lower jaw.
Yes, implant dentures can support your overall oral health by reducing the risk of further tooth loss. They also help preserve the jawbone, which often deteriorates after missing teeth are left untreated.
While implant dentures are ideal for full arches, a single tooth implant or solutions for multiple teeth can also be offered depending on your needs.
Because an implant denture shares its support across the arch, it can often be secured with fewer implants than replacing every missing tooth individually. These solutions are customised to preserve surrounding natural tooth structures.
Yes. Implant placement can be considered once healing has occurred after a tooth extraction or wisdom teeth removal. Implant dentures then provide a stable tooth replacement option when natural teeth are no longer viable.
Implant dentures are often described as fixed dentures or permanent dentures because they’re anchored to implants rather than resting on the gums.
Unlike dental fillings or a removable partial denture, they offer a more permanent solution, replacing the function of an artificial tooth while maintaining the position of adjacent teeth.
