Overdentures, or snap-on dentures, are dentures that “snap on” over several dental implants. The increased stability provided by the implants makes it easier to speak, eat and smile!

We would be happy to schedule you a consultation with our dentists, Dr. Christy Chen and associates, at A+ Dental & Implant Center.
Traditional dentures are a good smile restoration option. However, as time goes on, your dentures may no longer fit as well and become less stable if your gums or bone experience changes. Overdentures, on the other hand, offer increased stability to make chewing and smiling easier.
Overdentures, which are also known as implant-supported dentures, utilize several well-placed dental implants. While the number varies according to the patient’s needs, usually only two implants are required. The denture snaps over these implants to create a secure smile. As an added bonus, you can take out your denture for daily maintenance and cleaning.
There are many benefits to overdentures, including the following:
- Overdentures have attachments that stop your denture from applying too much pressure to your gums, which helps prevent discomfort in your gums and other gum problems.
- Overdentures offer more comfort and function than traditional dentures.
- Overdentures are more stable, stopping your denture from feeling loose or floating around your mouth.
- Overdentures help you feel more confident with your smile.
- Overdentures allow you to enjoy your favorite foods and drinks.
