What Are Implant-Supported Overdentures
mplant-supported overdentures are a modern alternative to conventional removable dentures. This technique involves placing 2 to 4 dental implants into the jawbone, which act as strong anchor pillars for the denture.
Unlike traditional dentures that rest entirely on the gums, these overdentures are attached to implants, offering greater stability and a more comfortable fit. The acrylic base also covers less gum tissue, reducing the risk of speech disturbance.
This method is ideal for patients who have lost most or nearly all of their teeth. Since they are removable, you can take them out for cleaning and maintaining oral hygiene.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Overdentures
Implant-supported overdentures offer several advantages, including:
Minimally invasive: Only 2 to 4 implants are required, making the process less complex and more comfortable.
Long-lasting stability: Implants provide a secure base and enhance the denture’s lifespan compared to traditional options.
Enhanced functionality: With a stable fit, you can speak, eat, and smile with greater confidence and ease.
Suitable for minor bone loss: Angled placement of the implants helps avoid the need for bone grafting in some cases.
Cost-effective: Fewer implants mean lower costs, making it a more affordable treatment option.
Implant-Supported Overdentures Treatment Process at Our Dental Clinic in Harvard
The process of implant-supported overdentures at our Harvard clinic requires fewer visits than other invasive treatments. During your initial consultation, our dentist will assess the health of your gums and jawbone. If you have any remaining teeth in the arch, they will need to be removed before implant placement.
The next step is implant surgery, during which we will place 2 to 4 titanium implants in your jawbone. These implants are angled to use maximum jawbone support. We will then place a temporary full-arch denture, allowing you to resume normal activities while your implants heal and integrate with the bone.
Once the healing process is complete, we will replace the temporary denture with a custom-designed permanent one. It matches your natural teeth and gum base, so you can confidently show off your new smile!
