What are Implant Dentures?
Implant dentures, or implant-supported dentures, are a more permanent solution for those who have lost all or most of their teeth but still have sufficient jawbone to support dental implants.
These small, sturdy metal posts are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as substitutes for tooth roots. The denture is then securely attached to these implants, offering a much more stable fit than traditional dentures.
The Benefits of Choosing Implant Dentures
Opting for implant dentures comes with several benefits. They provide a secure fit that helps maintain facial structure, improves speech, and allows you to eat with more comfort and less worry.
Unlike regular dentures that can slip or cause discomfort, lots of our patients say that implant dentures can feel more like natural teeth.

Costs Involved in Implant Dentures
Prices vary, from $3,130 all the way to $6,000, depending on the number of implants needed and the complexity of the procedure. Here's a closer look at what you can expect throughout the process of getting implant dentures on the Sunshine Coast.
Initial Consultation
The first step is usually an initial consultation, where a dental professional assesses your oral health and determines the suitability of your jawbone for implants. This consultation may involve X-rays or 3D scans, which can incur additional costs.
Surgical Costs are Additional
The surgical phase involves placing the implants into the jawbone. This process is sometimes performed under local anaesthesia and can vary in complexity based on your specific dental needs. Prices generally start from $6500 – this cost is in addition to anything All Smiles Denture Clinic would charge – this is something you would discuss with your dentist or dental surgeon.
The Dentures
After the implants have integrated with the bone, your custom dentures are made and fitted. These are designed to look like natural teeth and are matched in colour to any remaining natural teeth that you have. You will be included in the design process to a certain degree – shade colour and placement of tooth can be decided with Darius.
