Implant Supported Overdenture

An implant supported removable overdenture is a contemporary restoration that has revolutionized the way surgeons and dentists think of replacing a full set of teeth. Standard dentures are unsecured prostheses with inherent limitations. Most often, dentures are painful, inconvenient, and unstable. Such dentures can make chewing foods difficult, limiting the foods that you once enjoyed. Modern dentistry can help with implant supported dentures. The implant supported removable overdenture treatment concept replaces your missing teeth with a full denture supported by dental implants. Fewer implants are needed than with a fixed restoration and overall treatment time and cost are reduced. An implant supported removable overdenture solution also ensures greater stability in the bone, reducing the need for bone graft surgery to increase bone volume. Implant-supported removable overdentures stay connected with bar and clip attachment methods or use a variety of abutment-based attachments (ball, magnets, and resilient stud attachments such as locators). The most appropriate attachment system for your individual needs relates to a variety of factors that is determined early in the treatment. Typically, a temporary set of teeth can be placed on the same day of surgery.  After a short healing period, your dentist will place the final denture. Your quality of life is improved, and you can start enjoying your favorite foods again with renewed confidence.

Implant Supported Overdentures offer you many advantages:

  • A cost effective solution. Your new replacement teeth require fewer implants in each jaw when compared to some other implant supported restoration methods. With fewer implants required, the cost is lowered.
  • Reduced need for bone grafting. The special angled placement of two of the implants ensures a secure and stable anchorage for the replaced teeth, often making bone grafting unnecessary.
  • Faster treatment and healing time. Your replacement teeth can sometimes even be attached to your implants immediately after insertion.
  • Scientifically proven and documented. Implant Supported removable overdentures have had good clinical outcomes from decade long studies with favorable results.
