Implant-Retained Dentures in Preston, VIC
Implant-retained dentures combine the full coverage of a complete denture with the rock-solid stability of dental implants. Titanium implants placed in your jawbone act as artificial roots, fitted with locator attachments that 'snap' the denture firmly into position.
Titanium Implants & Locator Attachments
Implant-retained dentures attach to 2 to 4 implants using specialised Locator® abutments or titanium milled bars. The denture houses resilient nylon inserts that snap over the posts, offering customisable retention levels.
$4,850 - $6,780
*Subject to clinical examination & private health fund extra rebates.
Common Patient Issues
Traditional lower dentures rely solely on suction and muscle control, making them prone to shifting while eating steak, apples, or crusty bread. Loose dentures can cause extreme mouth sores and social embarrassment.
How Dr Dragan Flajnik Fixes It
Working in close collaboration with leading Melbourne implant surgeons, Dr Dragan Flajnik designs custom implant-retained dentures. The result is a denture that snaps in tightly, eliminates palate coverage on top arches, and delivers up to 90% of natural chewing force.
Why Patients Choose Implant-Retained Dentures
Zero slippage or movement while eating, talking, or laughing
Eliminates the need for messy denture adhesives or pastes
Preserves jawbone density by stimulating bone through implant posts
Upper implant dentures can be made horseshoe-shaped without covering the palate
Snaps on and off effortlessly for easy nightly cleaning
