If you, or someone you know, has difficulty eating the foods that they want, speaking or smiling with confidence because of ill-fitting dentures…you are not alone. Over 60 million people in the United States are missing all of their natural teeth, and many suffer with the same problems associated with full dentures. Loose teeth is one of the most common complaints about dentures. If you were told about a solution that could secure your dentures without the gooey mess of denture adhesive, would you be interested? How would you feel if you could choose any item from the menu, and eat it comfortably? Would you like to speak, smile and laugh confidently without the fear of loosing your teeth? Dental Implant Overdentures may be the permanent solution that you never knew was possible.
What is a Dental Implant Overdenture?
Upper and Lower Implant Overdentures
An Overdenture is a removable denture that is attached to underlying dental implants. The implants are equipped with a special attachment that “click” into your upper and/or lower denture, locking them firmly in place. It is different than a conventional denture, which rests on the gum tissue unattached. For some patients, conventional unattached dentures are the right choice of treatment. Others, however, prefer an increased level of comfort, confidence and function. For these patients, Overdentures become a life-changing option.
Implant Overdentures are a hybrid approach to replacing teeth. By combining dental implant technology with full dentures,we are able to provide patients the feeling of natural teeth at an affordable price. With Overdentures, patients can bite and chew almost anything. Implant Overdentures also provide added health benefits by stimulating the jawbone. Bone loss with conventional dentures is a serious problem that has compounding negative effects in both the health and aesthetics over time. Dental Implants transmit biting and chewing forces directly into the jawbone resulting in increased circulation, stimulation and preservation of the bone.
