Gold Coast Implant Supported Dentures
Traditional dentures rest on the gums, but some people prefer a more secure fit. An implant supported denture connects to dental implants placed in the jawbone, assisting in added stability for daily activities like eating and speaking.
At Dental Prosthetics By Richard & Cindy on the Gold Coast, we design implant supported dentures as an alternative for those seeking improved retention. These dentures are made to attach to existing implants, allowing for a more anchored fit compared to standard options. The appliance is removable for cleaning but clips securely into place during use.
This type of denture may suit individuals who find their current appliance moves too much or lacks support. Suitability depends on a number of factors, including existing implants and oral condition.

Support Through Daily Use
Implant supported dentures are recommended to those looking for increased confidence in their denture’s fit. At Dental Prosthetics By Richard & Cindy, we produce these appliances in-house to meet specific measurements for each individual’s implants and oral structure. The goal is to support comfort and stability throughout daily use.
This solution may be used for full or partial tooth replacement, depending on the number and location of the implants. Each case is reviewed individually to confirm whether this approach is suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an implant supported denture?
An implant supported denture is a removable dental appliance that attaches to implants in the jaw. It offers greater retention than traditional dentures, helping reduce movement during speaking or eating. The denture is designed to clip onto the implants and can be taken out for cleaning. Suitability depends on the number of implants and your overall oral condition.
Who is a good candidate for implant supported dentures?
This option may suit individuals who already have dental implants and are seeking improved denture stability. It's also considered for those with adequate bone support for new implants. A consultation is required to assess whether this treatment is appropriate. We review your oral structure, medical history and goals before making recommendations. Other denture types may be discussed if implants aren’t suitable.
How do implant supported dentures differ from regular dentures?
Unlike regular dentures, which rest on the gums, implant supported dentures attach to implants fixed in the jaw. This connection provides a more secure fit and may reduce the risk of shifting during use. The denture is still removable but functions differently due to the implant attachment points. It may be preferred by individuals looking for a more stable alternative.
Do implant supported dentures require special care?
These dentures require regular cleaning, just like other removable appliances. You'll need to remove them daily to clean both the denture and the implant areas in your mouth. A dental prosthetist will explain how to clean the components and maintain long-term function. Regular check-ups are also recommended to monitor wear, attachment fit and any changes in your oral health.
