Overdentures are a type of removable denture that fits over your remaining natural teeth or dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rely on suction or adhesives, overdentures are securely anchored, offering a more stable and comfortable fit. This design not only helps in maintaining your jawbone health but also improves your ability to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
One of the primary advantages of overdentures is their enhanced stability. Traditional dentures can sometimes slip or move, causing discomfort and embarrassment. Overdentures, on the other hand, are anchored in place, providing a secure fit that allows you to go about your daily activities without worry.
Preserving your jawbone health is another significant benefit. This not only improves your oral health but also contributes to a more youthful appearance.
Overdentures also offer improved functionality. With their secure fit, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods without the fear of your dentures slipping. This can significantly enhance your nutrition and overall health. Additionally, speaking clearly can be challenging with traditional dentures, but the stability of overdentures can help improve your speech.
The journey to a better smile with overdentures begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this initial visit, we will assess your oral health, discuss your goals and determine if overdentures are the right solution for you. If you have remaining natural teeth, we will evaluate their condition to see if they can support overdentures. If you need dental implants, we will plan the placement to ensure optimal support and stability for your overdentures.
Once the necessary preparations are complete, we will create a custom set of overdentures tailored to your unique needs. This involves taking precise measurements and impressions to ensure a perfect fit. The overdentures are then fabricated using high-quality materials that mimic the look and feel of natural teeth.
When your overdentures are ready, we will carefully fit them to ensure they sit comfortably and securely in your mouth. We will also provide you with guidance on how to care for your overdentures to keep them in excellent condition. Regular checkups are essential to ensure your overdentures continue to fit well and to address any concerns you may have.
Overdentures offer a reliable and effective solution for restoring your smile and improving your quality of life.
