oVERDENTURES

An overdenture is a type of denture that is secured in place by connecting it to dental implants. This is accomplished by using connectors, snaps, or screws to secure it to two to four dental implants.

The primary benefit of an overdenture is that it provides more chewing stability than a conventional removable denture. This is because the implants provide a solid foundation for the denture, which helps to prevent it from moving around during chewing. This can make it easier to eat a wider variety of foods and can also help to improve your overall oral health.

Our dentists can help you determine if an overdenture is right for you. They will assess your oral health and discuss your individual needs to create a treatment plan that is tailored to you. If you are considering an overdenture, be sure to schedule a consultation with our dentists today.

Here are some of the benefits of overdentures:

  • Increased chewing stability
  • Improved oral health
  • More natural appearance
  • Increased comfort
  • Longer lifespan than traditional dentures

If you are missing teeth, overdentures can be a great option for you. They provide a more stable and secure way to replace your missing teeth, and they can help to improve your overall oral health.

Bone density requirements and required scans

There is a minimum amount of bone volume that is required to support dental implants and an overdenture. This minimum varies from patient to patient, but our dentists can assess your individual needs to determine if you are a good candidate for overdentures.

Typically, implants used for overdentures are placed in the anterior mandible (chin) region because this area is often the last remaining bone that can be used for a lower overdenture.

As with any implant procedure, preoperative planning is essential to success. State-of-the-art diagnostic imaging equipment — typically cone beam or CBCT imaging — allows our dentists to review detailed 3-D images of the surgical area and to produce a surgical plan that will produce the best possible results.

Are you a good candidate for an overdenture?

If you wear false teeth, you know the difficulties that come with dentures. Sore gums, movement, and pain associated with chewing are just some of the problems denture wearers face every day. Dental implants offer the stability necessary to make dentures tolerable and functional.

FAQS

What are overdentures, and how do they work?

Overdentures are removable dentures that fit over dental implants or remaining natural teeth for extra stability and support. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, overdentures snap securely onto implants, providing a more comfortable and stable fit, reducing the risk of slipping or shifting while eating or speaking.

What is the difference between overdentures and traditional dentures?

The main difference between overdentures and traditional dentures is the level of support and stability. Traditional dentures rest directly on the gums and rely on adhesives, while overdentures are anchored to dental implants or natural teeth, providing more stability, improved chewing function, and better comfort.

Who is a good candidate for overdentures?

Overdentures are a great option for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth but still have sufficient jawbone to support dental implants. If you are looking for a more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures, or if you’ve struggled with loose-fitting dentures, overdentures may be the right choice for you.

How long do overdentures last?

With proper care, overdentures can last 10 years or longer. Regular cleaning, maintenance of the attachments, and routine dental visits to Bellagio Dental Implant Center are essential to prolong the lifespan of overdentures and to keep your gums and implants healthy.

Are overdentures easy to care for?

Yes, overdentures are relatively easy to care for. They can be removed for cleaning just like traditional dentures. It is important to clean both the dentures and the implant attachments daily to maintain oral hygiene. Your dentist will provide specific instructions on how to properly care for your overdentures to ensure they remain in good condition.
