Comfortable Dentures for Confident Eating
At Grand Central Dentistry, we understand how frustrating loose or uncomfortable dentures can be. Traditional dentures often slip, cause sore spots, and make it difficult to enjoy your favorite foods. Fortunately, implant-supported overdentures provide a secure, comfortable, and long-lasting solution for patients looking to improve both function and confidence.
What Are Overdentures?
Overdentures are removable dentures that attach to dental implants placed in your jawbone. These implants act as anchors, allowing the dentures to securely snap into place. This design provides superior stability compared to traditional dentures, preventing slipping or movement while eating and speaking.
Overdentures combine the convenience of removable dentures with the strength and security of dental implants, giving you the best of both worlds.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Overdentures
Choosing overdentures can greatly improve your comfort, confidence, and quality of life. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Enhanced Stability: The denture snaps firmly onto dental implants, keeping it secure during chewing and speaking.
- Improved Comfort: With better support from implants, there’s less pressure on the gums, reducing irritation and sore spots.
- Stronger Bite Function: You can eat a wider variety of foods comfortably, including harder or tougher foods.
- Bone Preservation: Dental implants help stimulate and preserve jawbone density, preventing bone loss that typically occurs with traditional dentures.
- Natural Appearance: Overdentures provide a more natural look and feel, giving you a confident, beautiful smile.
- Easy Maintenance: The removable design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance of both the dentures and implants.
How Do Overdentures Work?
The process begins with the placement of a few dental implants into the jawbone. Once the implants have healed and integrated with the bone, a custom-designed denture is created to fit securely over them. The denture snaps onto the implants using small attachments, creating a strong and stable connection.
This connection allows the denture to stay firmly in place during daily activities but can still be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance.
The Overdenture Procedure
Consultation and Evaluation:
During your first visit, our dentist will assess your oral health, bone density, and overall suitability for implant-supported dentures using digital imaging and a comprehensive examination.
Implant Placement:
A few dental implants are placed strategically in the jawbone to provide maximum support and stability.
Healing and Integration:
Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the jawbone in a natural process called osseointegration.
Denture Attachment:
Once healed, your custom overdenture is fabricated and attached to the implants. You’ll enjoy immediate improvements in comfort, stability, and function.
Follow-Up Care:
We’ll provide instructions on cleaning and maintaining your overdenture, along with regular follow-up visits to ensure everything remains in excellent condition.
