Complete Smile Restoration With Overdentures

Advanced dental technology and conservative treatment go hand-in-hand in smile restoration, as they allow for greater precision, less oral trauma, and an individualized approach. That being said, though traditional dentures may help several patients, they are not the best solution for everyone. For patients who are seeking a well-fitting denture and want to improve bite strength in the process, overdentures may be an ideal option for your tooth replacement.

Structural Benefits of Implant-Retained Dentures

For qualifying patients, we may recommend an implant-retained denture. Also known as overdentures or snap-on dentures, implant-supported dentures consist of a removable full arch prosthetic that clicks or locks into place via 2-4 biocompatible implant posts. Typically, a patient must have enough healthy bone structure present to support the biocompatible post. Fortunately, our Doctors can help assess if you may be a candidate.

Implant-retained prosthetics offer a unique structural benefit that traditional dentures are unable to account for. When the biocompatible post heals after placement, it fuses to the jawbone and creates a secure connection, functioning similarly to natural teeth roots. Not only does this keep the jawbone strong, but it allows your implants to properly support your bite pressure as well.
