Implant Supported Overdenture

Implant-supported overdentures are a revolutionary solution for individuals who have lost multiple teeth or are facing complete tooth loss. This treatment combines the benefits of dental implants with the comfort of traditional dentures, providing a secure, stable, and aesthetically pleasing restoration option. If you're looking for a way to restore your smile and improve your quality of life, implant-supported overdentures may be the right choice for you.

What are Implant-Supported Overdentures?

Implant-supported overdentures are dentures that are anchored to dental implants embedded in the jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and can slip or move during eating or speaking, overdentures are securely attached to implants, providing superior stability. This type of denture is designed to distribute chewing forces evenly, reducing pressure on the gums and enhancing comfort.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Overdentures

Choosing implant-supported overdentures comes with several advantages:

• Enhanced Stability: The implants keep the overdenture firmly in place, allowing for confident eating and speaking without the worry of slippage.
• Improved Comfort: With less pressure on the gums, patients experience greater comfort compared to traditional dentures.
• Preservation of Jawbone: The presence of implants stimulates the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
• Natural Appearance: Overdentures can be designed to closely resemble natural teeth, improving aesthetics and boosting self-esteem.

The Process of Getting Implant-Supported Overdentures

The process for obtaining implant-supported overdentures typically involves several steps:

1. Initial Consultation: A thorough examination and consultation will be conducted to assess your dental health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for implants.
2. Implant Placement: Dental implants will be surgically placed into the jawbone. A healing period of several months will allow the implants to integrate with the bone.
3. Denture Fabrication: Once the implants have fully integrated, a custom overdenture will be fabricated to fit securely over the implants.
4. Final Placement: The overdenture will be attached to the implants, and adjustments will be made to ensure a comfortable and functional fit.

Aftercare and Maintenance

After receiving implant-supported overdentures, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene and follow your dentist’s care instructions. Regular dental check-ups are crucial to monitor the condition of your implants and ensure your overdenture remains in optimal condition. With proper care, implant-supported overdentures can last for many years, providing you with a reliable and beautiful smile.
