Overdentures

What Are Overdentures?

Overdentures are removable dentures that snap securely onto dental implants instead of resting solely on the gums. They provide significantly more stability, better chewing power, and comfort than traditional dentures, while costing thousands less than permanent, fixed implant bridges.

Benefits of Overdentures

1. No Adhesives Required
   The snap-on or clip-in mechanism locks the denture in place, eliminating messy daily glues and frustrating slipping.
2. Bone Preservation
   Implants and natural roots stimulate the jawbone, preventing the sunken facial appearance and bone loss associated with conventional dentures.
3. Improved Diet
   Patients can bite and chew a wider variety of foods because the prosthesis is firmly anchored.
4. Cost-Effective
   They offer many of the functional benefits of fixed, full-mouth implants at a fraction of the cost.

What To Expect

After Care and Maintenance

1. Daily Removal
   Unlike fixed bridges, overdentures must be taken out daily for cleaning and to give the underlying gum tissues a break.
2. Wear and Tear
   The small rubber or plastic attachment rings inside the denture (like Locator attachments) will wear out over time and require periodic replacement to maintain a tight grip.
3. Routine Dental Care
   You need to see your dentist once every 6 months to get your implants and dentures professionally cleaned.
