Stable, Comfortable and Natural-Looking Tooth Replacement
Overdentures are a reliable and modern solution for patients who want the convenience of removable dentures with the added stability of dental implants. Traditional dentures rest on the gums and can become loose or uncomfortable over time, especially as the shape of your jaw and gums naturally change. Overdentures are designed to address these concerns by anchoring your denture to implants, creating a more secure and comfortable fit.
How Overdentures Work
Also known as implant-supported dentures, overdentures use two or more dental implants to hold the denture firmly in place. These implants act as artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once healed, your denture is fitted to snap onto the implants, offering improved retention and support. This design significantly reduces the movement that can occur with traditional dentures and helps prevent the sore spots and irritation often caused by shifting.
Daily Maintenance and Oral Hygiene
Overdentures are removable, making them easy to clean and maintain. You can remove the appliance daily to brush, rinse and care for both your denture and the implants themselves. This helps preserve your oral hygiene and keeps the soft tissues of your mouth healthy over time.
One of the major advantages of overdentures is the comfort they provide. Because they are anchored to implants, they do not press directly against your gums when you bite or chew. This reduces pressure, improves function and allows you to enjoy a wider variety of foods without discomfort. Overdentures also help preserve the jawbone by stimulating it, which can prevent the bone loss that often occurs after teeth are lost.
Regain Confidence in Your Smile
In addition to improving comfort and function, overdentures enhance your confidence. With better stability, you can speak clearly, eat comfortably and smile without worrying about your denture shifting or slipping out of place.
If you have been living with loose or uncomfortable dentures, overdentures may be the right solution for your needs. Speak with our dental team to learn how implant-supported dentures can improve your oral health and help you regain the confidence that comes with a secure, beautiful smile.
