Implant-supported overdentures provide a secure and comfortable solution for those missing multiple teeth.
An implant-supported overdenture is a type of denture that is anchored in place by dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums, implant-supported overdentures are attached to implants, providing greater stability and comfort.
The procedure involves placing two or more implants in the jawbone. Once the implants have integrated with the bone, a custom-made overdenture is attached. This process typically takes a few months from start to finish, including healing time.

Benefits: Implant-supported overdentures offer numerous benefits, including improved stability and retention, better chewing efficiency, reduced bone loss, and enhanced aesthetics. They also provide greater comfort and confidence compared to traditional dentures.
To maintain your implant-supported overdenture, clean the dentures and your implants daily, visit your dentist regularly for check-ups, and follow any specific care instructions provided by your dental professional. Proper care will ensure the longevity and functionality of your overdenture.
