Dentures Have Their Drawbacks
Dentures are prosthetic devices made of a combination of materials, including acrylic, nylon, porcelain, metal and resin. If you have a set of dentures, you will know that they act as a useful support for your missing teeth and the gums, and that they can do wonders for day to day confidence.
Restore Your Smile With Modern Advances In Technology
Do your dentures slip around in your mouth?
Do you find it difficult to enjoy eating your favourite foods or speak?
Do you want healthy teeth – even though you’re missing a few?
If so, an implant supported full denture may be the perfect solution for you.
What Are Multi-Teeth Implants?
If you’re missing multiple teeth in a row, you may have a set of dentures or a traditional bridge to support your teeth. But what if there was a better solution to dentures or bridges?
One that you wouldn’t need to take out and clean at night?
One that was comfortable and stable, with no fear of developing ulcers?
Introducing multi-teeth implants. This high-tech solution relies on the natural structures of your jawbone and gums for support – and provides rewarding results. Do you wish to try it for yourself?

If your jawbone is not strong enough to support the titanium screw, you may require bone grafting. These options can all be discussed during your initial consultation, which involves the latest in 3D scanning technology and an assessment of your medical history.
After the titanium screw is attached, your gums will need around two weeks to heal. A healing cap is applied to the implant to aid this process. Once your gums have healed, an abutment made of titanium, porcelain or gold is attached to the implant. An abutment is essentially something that joins two things at a border: in this case, your implant and the crown.
As with the surgery for titanium screws, the surgery for your abutment requires healing time for your gums, during which a temporary crown is attached. Finally, once healing has taken place, your dentist attaches the crown, typically made of a combination of porcelain and metal. This new tooth looks like all your other teeth, and you can treat it as such when brushing or flossing.

The Drawbacks Of Dentures And Bridges
However, dentures come with their own set of problems. They must be taken out at night and cleaned regularly, or else further complications might develop, such as cavities, stomatitis and infection. Dentures also vary in their comfort and stability, and it is not uncommon for people to develop ulcers as a result. Often this pain leads people to avoid certain foods, particularly those which require mastication (chewing), this can snowball into poor nutritional intake leading to other medical health issues and self-consciousness at social events.
Implant Supported Dentures
If your dentures are giving you grief, implant supported full dentures may be just what you need. Implant supports are made of titanium screws, and they have special attachments which lock into your new set of dentures. This allows the dentures to grip onto something other than your gums, meaning they are less likely to create trouble. Implant supported full dentures remove the need for pastes, gels, or adhesives to secure your dentures in place, as they provide far more support on their own. What’s more, the new set can be removed at night for cleaning just like a regular denture.
For our more anxious patients, Dentists & Doctors offer dental implant surgery under sedation or general anaesthetic to ensure you are comfortable and confident throughout the procedure. The whole process, from initial consultation to the implant surgery, may vary between 3 to 12 months, depending on your unique medical conditions and the operation you require. In any case, oral hygiene post-procedure is a must. You will be asked to attend follow-up appointments to keep on top of maintenance and to ensure appropriate home care is undertaken regularly.

The Single Dental Implant Procedure
Comprehensive Medical And Dental Assessment
Our dentists take 3D x-rays as well as scans and photos to assess your teeth, gums and jaw bone. If your jawbone is not strong enough to support the post, you may require bone grafting.
Healing time: Three-four months
Surgery To Place Implant
A titanium screw (also known as a metal grade post or abutment) is attached to your jawbone and acts as a replacement for the root of your tooth. Over time, the implant is fused with the jawbone, and the gum is secured over the implant.
Healing time: Two weeks
Custom Porcelain Tooth Is placed
Once healing has taken place, the porcelain crown is attached to the implant post. You can now enjoy your beautiful, new smile!
Healing time: Up to three months
The end result? A stronger solution, which looks better, feels better, and is less prone to further tooth decay.
Why Should I Choose Implant Supported Full Dentures?
If you have a set of traditional dentures, you will know that they act as a useful support for your missing teeth and the gums, and that they can do wonders for day to day confidence.
However, dentures come with their own set of problems. They must be taken out at night and cleaned regularly, or else you may develop cavities, stomatitis and infection. Dentures also vary in their comfort and stability, causing ulcers down the road
Don’t let this be your reality: with implant supported full dentures, you can restore your smile and oral health. We encourage you to book your appointment at Dentists & Doctors to discuss your options.
What Can I Expect With Implant Supported Dentures?
If your dentures are giving you grief, implant supported full dentures may be just what you need. Implant supports are made of titanium screws, and they have special attachments which lock into your new set of dentures.
Say goodbye to:
- Pastes, gels or adhesives to secure your dentures in place
- Less trouble due to titanium screws, which lock your teeth in place.

Real People, Real Results
Learn More About All-On-4®
Initially, the dentist starts with an examination of the patient’s overall oral health to determine whether they are the right fit for the procedure. Once the patient qualifies, the dentist proceeds with the surgery.
During a standard All-On-4® procedure, the dentist fixes a set of four implants and provisional teeth on top for a period of 3 months as the gum and bones heal. After the surgery, the mouth is left to recover while the implants integrate firmly with the jawbone.
Following the recovery, the dentist creates the permanent teeth made of either zirconia, acrylic or ceramic. These are then fixed permanently over the frame resulting in a complete restoration of the patient’s teeth.

patients say about us
Jack Kelly6 Stars!!! Dr Pascale is the best dentist I have ever seen. I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted with absolutely no discomfort even though I was only under local anaesthetic. Dr Pascale and amazing assistant Lucy made sure I was comfortable the whole way through. The reception team was also really great and even followed up a day later to see how I was feeling after the extraction. Can’t recommend Dentists and Doctors and Dr Pascale enough.
Georgia BaileyAbsolutely amazing service! from the dentists, to the surgery, to the receptionists, super friendly, informative, comforting, everything that you could want from a dental clinic!

KateI just can’t speak highly enough of the team at dentist & doctors geelong. From the first phone call to the caring, informative and helpful reception staff, I knew I was in the right hands. Dr Matt and his assistant were so calming from the minute i walked into the room. The procedure (which I was quite anxious about) was explained to me in terms i understood clearly and I felt confident and in safe hands. a 10/10 for Dr Matt and the practice.
Hannah ConnellI was nervous prior to getting my wisdom teeth removed, but Dr. Pascale was very kind, reassuring and gentle. They were also very thorough with post care which made the recovery much easier than I was expecting. Highly recommend Doctors & Dentists to anyone who has anxiety around visiting the dentist.
Haci CakarAs a new patient , I wouldn't be more happier with this clinic. Dr Pascale is one of the most gentle, kind and well qualified Dentist I've ever attended. Front office staff are exceptional. Dental assistant was very qualified and worked perfectly as a team with Dr.during the process. The clinic is clean and equipped with only the very best.It was a nice touch to having a call from the clinic the next day after practice. They were checking me how I'm feeling. Thanks again.
Steven JonesDr Matt was fantastic for someone that is usually a little anxious going to the dentist I came out with no anxiety. Told me every step of the way what was happening couldn't be happier thanks Dr Matt if there was more stars to give I definitely would have
Ally ThompsonI had an exceptional experience at Dentists and Doctors last week with Dr Pascale. She was so reassuring, took such great care with my clean and checks whilst clearly outlining each process throughout the appointment. I felt so informed and appreciated the time she took to explain and show me what she had assessed. The clinic itself is spotless and modern with some really cool technology, the receptionist was also so lovely. All in all, I will certainly be making D&D my go-to dental clinic from now on!
