What to Know About Overdentures

When thinking about choosing a tooth replacement option, the common choices that many patients are familiar with seem to be implants or dentures. Did you know that there is an option that blends the two of those options together? An overdenture is a removable dental prosthesis that fits over a supporting structure such as natural teeth or dental implants. Overdentures are typically preferred over a traditional denture that uses adhesive to attach in the mouth and sit on the gums.

Which Tooth Replacement Option Is Right For You?

Have you recently had a tooth extracted and need to decide on a tooth replacement option? Or perhaps you have been missing teeth for quite some time and are ready to make the investment in replacing your teeth. There are many reasons that a patient might be missing a tooth, such as severe decay, an accident, a medical condition, medication, or family history. Whatever the reason for needing a tooth replaced, we know that it can be tough to decide which option is best for your lifestyle and budget. We offer a variety of options that can help you restore the functionality of your teeth and help you love your smile again.

The Overdenture Option

The loss of natural teeth doesn’t have to be the end of eating foods you like or smiling confidently. There are many options available to replace missing teeth, and one of these is with the use of an overdenture. An overdenture goes over a supporting structure, such as natural teeth or dental implants and is made up of prosthetic crowns and acrylic plastic that simulates gum tissue. They are like dentures in that they can be removed, but they get their support from dental implants.

Improving the Fit of Dentures

If you wear dentures, do you find that they are constantly slipping? Are you missing teeth and want the benefits of a denture but with a more secure fit? With overdenture treatment, you can enjoy the advantages of dentures that are stabilized with implants rather than adhesives. Using implants to hold the denture makes it fit and feel better while giving you a healthy and beautiful smile.
