Implant-Supported Dentures Tauranga
Enjoy A More Secure, Comfortable Smile With Implant-Supported Dentures
Traditional dentures can sometimes feel loose, move during eating or speaking, and affect confidence in everyday life. Implant-supported dentures provide a more secure and stable alternative by attaching dentures to strategically placed dental implants.
At ER Dental, we offer implant-supported denture solutions designed to improve comfort, chewing ability, speech, and overall quality of life for patients with multiple missing teeth.
Whether you’re currently wearing dentures or exploring tooth replacement options, implant-supported dentures may provide the long-term stability you’re looking for.
Book a consultation today to find out if implant-supported dentures are right for you.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures combine two highly effective tooth replacement treatments:
✓ Dental implants
✓ Custom-made dentures
Instead of relying solely on the gums for support, the denture is securely attached to dental implants placed within the jawbone.
This creates a much stronger and more stable foundation than traditional removable dentures.
Implant-supported dentures can be used to replace:
✓ A full upper arch
✓ A full lower arch
✓ Multiple missing teeth
✓ Extensive tooth loss
The result is a denture that feels more secure, functions more naturally, and helps improve confidence when eating, speaking, and smiling.
Benefits Of Implant-Supported Dentures
Many patients choose implant-supported dentures because they offer significant advantages over conventional dentures.
Benefits Include:
✓ Improved denture stability
✓ Reduced movement while eating
✓ Better chewing ability
✓ Increased confidence when speaking
✓ Enhanced comfort
✓ More natural feel
✓ Improved smile appearance
✓ Helps preserve jawbone structure
✓ Reduced gum irritation
✓ Long-term tooth replacement solution
✓ Greater confidence in social situations
For many patients, implant-supported dentures provide a life-changing improvement in comfort and function.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Implant-Supported Dentures?
You may be a suitable candidate if you:
✓ Wear loose or uncomfortable dentures
✓ Have multiple missing teeth
✓ Are missing all teeth in one or both arches
✓ Want a more secure denture solution
✓ Have sufficient jawbone for implant placement
✓ Are looking for a long-term replacement option
✓ Want improved chewing performance
✓ Want greater confidence when smiling
During your consultation, our dentists will assess your oral health and determine whether implant-supported dentures are appropriate for your individual needs.
How Implant-Supported Dentures Work
Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots that integrate with the jawbone.
Once healed, the implants provide stable anchor points that securely support a custom-made denture.
The Process Includes:
Step 1 — Consultation & Assessment
We assess your oral health, existing dentures, bone levels, and treatment goals.
Step 2 — 3D Dental Scanning
Advanced CBCT imaging is used to evaluate jawbone structure and plan implant placement accurately.
Step 3 — Implant Placement
Dental implants are carefully placed into the jawbone using precise treatment planning.
Step 4 — Healing Period
The implants integrate with the surrounding bone during the healing process.
Step 5 — Denture Fabrication
A custom denture is designed to fit comfortably and function naturally.
Step 6 — Final Attachment
The denture is connected securely to the implants and adjusted for comfort and performance.
Our team guides patients through every stage of treatment to ensure the best possible outcome.
Why Implant-Supported Dentures Are Different From Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures rest directly on the gums and rely on suction or adhesives for retention.
Implant-supported dentures are anchored to implants within the jawbone.
This Means:
| Traditional Dentures | Implant-Supported Dentures |
|---|---|
| Can move while eating | Greater stability |
| May require adhesives | No adhesives required |
| Reduced chewing strength | Improved chewing efficiency |
| Can loosen over time | Secure implant support |
| Limited jawbone stimulation | Helps preserve bone structure |
Many patients find implant-supported dentures feel significantly more natural and comfortable.
