What Are Implant Supported Overdentures?


More commonly called overdentures, "anchored" or snap-on dentures, this proven effective method combines the stable foundation of an anchored implant with the convenience of a removable prosthesis to provide patients with missing teeth a permanent solution. As the name implies, overdentures are attached to strategically placed dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which only rest on your gums, this anchored version adds the benefit of reinforcement thanks to the implants' support. We accomplish this via custom attachments that snap onto the implants.

Who Is A Candidate For Fixed Implant-Supported Overdenture?


Anchored dentures are normally aimed at patients who:
•  Are missing teeth
•  Have multiple damaged teeth
•  Are edentulous (missing all of their teeth)

Candidates must have a sufficient amount of jawbone to support a and the implants properly.

In most cases, those who elect to receive implant-supported dentures are people who already own a traditional set of conventional dentures.Overdentures are normally made for the lower jaw because the standard more often than not lacks stability in that area. Granted, a traditional denture can also be fitted for your more stable upper jaw.

Procedure


The procedure usually places one or more implants within the jawbone at the front of your mouth because it typically offers more available bone compared to the back of the jaw. This is most often the case with bone loss resulting from teeth that were lost a significant amount of time ago.

The jawbone needs stimulation to stay strong, no different from how muscles require stimulation from regular exercise. When a tooth is gone, that stimulation on the jawbone goes with it, leading to bone loss in that area. The front jaw is also favored due to not having many nerves or other structures that might become an obstacle to the placement of your implants.

Advantages Of Implant-Supported Overdentures


•  Reduced operation time. Patients can go home the same day of implant surgery, recovering until their dental implants have completed the healing process and osseointegration (integrating into the bone).
•  You will be able to chew properly again, enjoying your favorite foods and even bettering your diet.
•  Patients can expect improvement in speech without fear of their denture slipping or slurring words.
•  Improved overall stability and control over your teeth.
•  Boost one's appearance, oral health, and self-esteem.
•  You no longer need to worry about feeling embarrassed or self-conscious when you show off your beautiful smile and can comfortably socialize.
•  Affordability. Patients save money on this procedure compared to spending on traditional dentures' messy and inconsistently effective adhesives.
