Implant retained dentures in East Bentleigh Resolving Dental Issues For Over 50 Years!
Located in East Bentleigh and looking implant retained dentures?
We have helped many patients to enjoy the benefits of stable dentures through treatment with implant retained dentures. Between two and four implants can be used to anchor dentures in your mouth.
The implants peep out of your gums a tiny bit and the denture then clips onto these to secure itself into position. Your dentures can be removed at night when you sleep and when you wish to clean them.

Melbourne Emergency Dental Services
Loose dentures can leave you feeling frustrated, restricted and lacking in confidence. At eDentist we can use dental implants to secure your dentures for a full set of natural-looking teeth.
Implant-retained dentures will feel much more natural in your mouth than dentures alone. That’s because the implants connect your dentures to your jaw bone in much the same way your teeth used to be connected to your jaw bone. You will notice that food tastes better as your upper teeth will no longer cover the roof of your mouth. Your bite, chew and ability to speak clearly will also be more natural.
An implant-supported denture is a type of over denture that is supported by and attached to implants. A regular denture rests on the gums and is not supported by implants. An implant-supported denture is used when a person doesn’t have any teeth in the jaw, but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants. This cost-effective solution works by fixing your dentures onto 2 lower-jaw implants and 4 upper-jaw implants. It can also be used for partial dentures.
There are also great benefits for your dental health. Dental implants integrate with your jawbone to keep it strong and healthy while slowing down bones loss.

Same Day Dental Appointments Available
Your Initial Consultation
You can contact us by phone, email, or in person at one of our clinics to arrange your free consultation. We will discuss the problems you currently have, then carry out an examination of your mouth followed by a three dimensional CT scan.
3D Scan to Assess Suitability
Bone is the foundation for a dental implant and it is essential to determine whether adequate bone is available for your treatment. To do this we take a high tech three dimensional CT scan of your mouth. This allows us to accurately determine the amount and quality of the bone available for implant placement. It also helps us to plan the treatment and decide where to place our implants. The technology we have available allows us to take a scan of only a small section of the mouth, or the whole mouth as required by the number of teeth which need to be replaced.
Treatment Plan Devised
Using the information from your examination and CT scan we will provide you with a treatment plan which details the items of treatment required and gives you the exact costs of this treatment. In cases where there is more than one option available you will receive a treatment plan for each option.
All Costs Discussed Up Front
We understand that when people decide to have dental treatment they are making a significant investment. We aim to be as accurate as possible with the cost of treatment from the very outset. You will receive a full estimate of costs at your implant consultation.
The Treatment
When you have decided which treatment option is best for you we will arrange an appointment to place your implants. On the day of your implant placement, your gums will be numbed, so that the procedure is completely painless. Some people may wish to have the treatment carried out under sedation which makes you feel very relaxed and removes any anxiety. Afterwards, it is advisable to take some normal painkillers such as Paracetamol or Ibuprofen for a day or two.
Aftercare
We review patients two weeks after implant placement to make sure that the area has healed up properly, and to check that the area is being cleaned properly.
Treatment Times
After the implants are placed we must wait 3 months for them to bond with your jaw bone. During this time you will be wearing your own denture or a temporary denture we have made for you. After 3 months we begin to make your new implant denture which usually takes four visits. The total average treatment time for implant retained dentures is 5 months.
Bar-retained vs ball-retained dentures
There are two types of implant-supported dentures: bar-retained and ball-retained. In both cases, the denture will be made of an acrylic base that will look like gums. Porcelain or acrylic teeth that look like natural teeth are attached to the base. Both types of dentures need at least two implants for support.
Bar-retained dentures — A thin metal bar that follows the curve of your jaw is attached to two to five implants that have been placed in your jawbone. Clips or other types of attachments are fitted to the bar, the denture or both. The denture fits over the bar and is securely clipped into place by the attachments.
Ball-retained dentures (stud-attachment dentures) — Each implant in the jawbone holds a metal attachment that fits into another attachment on the denture. In most cases, the attachments on the implants are ball-shaped (“male” attachments), and they fit into sockets (“female” attachments) on the denture. In some cases, the denture holds the male attachments and the implants hold the female ones.
