Implant Over Denture

Implant Supported Denture

Implant supported dentures are a modern solution for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, these dentures are anchored securely to dental implants placed in the jawbone, providing a stable and comfortable fit. This approach allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, without the worry of slipping or movement.

These dentures also help maintain jawbone health by stimulating the bone where teeth are missing, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with traditional dentures. Implant supported dentures offer a long-lasting and natural-looking solution, giving you the function and appearance of natural teeth while improving overall oral health.

Implant over dentures, also known as implant-retained dentures, offer a more secure and comfortable alternative to traditional removable dentures. A small number of dental implants are placed into the jawbone to act as stable anchors, allowing the denture to clip firmly into position. This significantly reduces movement, slipping, and discomfort while eating or speaking, giving you greater confidence throughout the day.

The Benefits of Implant Over Denture

Secure and Stable Fit

Implant supported dentures are anchored to dental implants, preventing slipping or movement. This provides greater comfort and confidence when eating or speaking.

Improved Chewing and Function

Because they are firmly fixed, these dentures restore your ability to chew a wider range of foods effectively, making daily meals more enjoyable.

Preserves Jawbone Health

The implants stimulate the jawbone, reducing bone loss that typically occurs with traditional dentures. This helps maintain your facial structure and overall oral health.

Natural Look and Feel

Implant supported dentures are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, giving you a more natural smile and enhancing your confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Implant Supported Denture?

An implant-supported denture fits over dental implants that have been installed by your dental clinician. The implant provides excellent stability and support for your denture.

Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures are held in place by dental attachments which provide the retentive strength that you desire. Implant overdenture attachments are composed of two working components; an implant abutment that is threaded into your implant, and the denture cap which is retained in the underside of your denture.

The most important consideration in your decision to choose an implant overdenture is the limited retention and stability of a traditional denture which relies on suction alone. Over time, retention only worsens due to continual bone loss (atrophy) of your dental arches from the lack of teeth. The significant concerns regarding function, retention, stability, mastication (chewing), and speaking can be overcome by maintaining the level of bone present in the upper jaw (maxilla) and lower jaw (mandible). These issues can be successfully accomplished by keeping your own roots, or if you are edentulous (without teeth) having dental implants placed by your oral surgeon may be an option.

  • Having dental implants placed will preserve bone and will dramatically reduce bone resorption and deterioration that results in loss of jawbone height.
  • Implant overdentures will control facial contour changes that lead to premature wrinkles and aging.
  • Implant overdentures will allow you to chew your food better and speak more clearly. Studies have proven that overdentures contribute to improved chewing efficiency and phonetics.
  • Loose dentures that cause embarrassment will be eliminated. Messy denture creams and adhesives are no longer needed with implant supported dentures.

Implant supported dentures are removable or fixed dentures that are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. They provide a secure and stable fit, unlike traditional dentures that may slip or move.
