Implant-supported overdentures are a sophisticated dental treatment designed for individuals with multiple missing teeth. This method involves securing a set of dentures onto a series of titanium implants embedded within the jawbone.
The result of choosing implant-supported overdentures is a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics. This solution offers a secure, non-removable prosthetic that beautifully mimics the natural look of teeth while providing the practical benefits of improved speech, eating capabilities, and reduced bone loss.
Typically, the cost of implant-supported dentures in Sydney could range anywhere from S5,000 to over S20,000. This price usually encompasses the surgical placement of implants, the dentures, and any necessary preparatory procedures such as x-rays or bone grafts. It’s important to remember that these figures are estimates, and prices can vary significantly.
For the most accurate and current pricing, it’s best to consult directly with one of our dentists at Sydney Dental Implants. You can do this by applying for a quotations or calling our clinic.

Absolutely, we prioritise your comfort and ease during the overdenture procedure. At SDI we offer a range of sedation options, including sleep sedation. During your initial consultation, we’ll evaluate your medical history and discuss any concerns or preferences you have regarding sedation. Depending on your comfort level and the specifics of your procedure, we can administer sedation that ranges from mild to deep, including the option of sleep sedation, where you’ll be in a sleep-like state and not aware of the procedure as it happens.
The process of receiving an implant-supported denture is designed to minimise discomfort. During the implant placement, we use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring you don’t feel pain during the procedure. Some patients may opt for additional sedation methods for greater comfort.
Post-procedure, it’s common to experience some soreness or discomfort as the mouth heals, but this is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication and should subside within a few days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and are always available to address any concerns or discomfort you may experience. Rest assured, our team is committed to making your experience as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
Yes, seeking dental treatment, such as implant-supported dentures, overseas can present certain risks. While there are many skilled dentists worldwide, standards and regulations vary between countries. Key considerations include:
Quality and Standards: The quality of care, materials, and infection control protocols can differ significantly. It’s crucial to research and ensure the overseas clinic meets international standards.
Communication: Language barriers may lead to misunderstandings about your treatment plan or aftercare instructions.
Follow-up Care: Managing follow-up care or addressing complications can be challenging if you are back in your home country.
Travel: Traveling soon after surgery can increase the risk of complications, such as blood clots or infection.
Costs: While initial costs might be lower, unforeseen expenses due to complications or the need for corrective procedures can add up.
We advise you to thoroughly research and weigh these factors against the potential benefits before deciding.
If you have further questions you wish to ask, a consultation with one of our dentists could be a good next step to help you on your evaluation process.
Yes, implant-supported dentures can be possible for patients with a history of gum disease, but there are important considerations. Successful implant placement typically requires healthy gums and adequate bone density to support the implant. If you have gum disease, it must be well-managed or treated before proceeding with implants.
Consultation and a detailed oral examination are the first steps to determine if implant-supported dentures are a suitable option for you.
Overdentures typically last between 5 to 10 years with proper care, although this can vary based on individual factors and maintenance habits. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are crucial for their longevity. The supporting implants often last longer, potentially over 20 years. Keep in mind that adjustments or replacements may be needed over time.
The surgery for implant-retained dentures typically takes a few hours, but the entire process, from implant placement to final denture fitting, can span several months. This timeframe includes the healing period necessary for the implants to integrate with the jawbone.
