What Are Implant-Supported Overdentures?

Traditional dentures simply rest on the gums. While this can be a quick solution, it can have several downsides. These types of dentures can wear away at your gums and are not always stable. Implant supported overdentures solve these problems through their unique features. These dentures instead can be affixed to implants that are placed in the gums. This gives the advantage of increased stability while also providing the convenience of allowing you to remove them when needed. Since they do not rest directly on the gums, they also cause less wear on the tissues, giving you added protection.

What Is the Process Like for Getting Implant-Supported Overdentures?

Getting your implant-supported dentures typically takes a couple of visits to our office and is a step-by-step process. The main part of the process involves the procedure for placing your implants and then waiting for your mouth to heal. We can then place the abutments, which your dentures will be affixed to. For the dentures themselves, we make each set custom in a laboratory so they look just like your natural smile. From the size, shape, and color of the teeth, every aspect is personalized to be right for you. Over the course of several visits you can expect to get closer to your final results, with the whole process taking about a couple of months for most patients.
If you need bone grafting before your implants, this may require an additional visit. While many patients already have enough bone mass for their implants, it is not uncommon to have lost bone mass in the jaw after prolonged periods of tooth loss. Bone grafting is a straightforward and easy way to rebuild bone mass to have enough to support your implants (and eventually your dentures).

Life With Implant-Supported Dentures

Adjusting to your new dentures can take some time, but they can gradually become a natural- feeling part of your life. With a well-made set of dentures, you can see your ability to speak and eat restored, while also rediscovering the joy of sharing your smile with those around you. We are here to provide any additional info or support while you are adjusting to your new teeth. With proper daily care, you can expect your dentures to last for years.

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”

Are Implant-Supported Dentures Right for Me?

Implant-supported dentures are an ideal way for patients with significant tooth loss to get back their whole smile. Patients who are missing several teeth or entire rows of teeth will likely benefit from this treatment option immensely. If you are only missing a single tooth or a few teeth, we offer the option for dental implants and dental bridges. Implants are individual replacements for teeth and bridges replace one or more teeth using neighboring teeth as anchors. During your appointment, Dr. Modi will examine your mouth and go over what replacement options are most suitable for your situation. He will also provide a full overview of what your process will look like before you need to make any decisions.
