Overdentures vs. Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures rest on the gums and may require adhesive to stay in place. Over time, changes in jawbone shape can cause them to shift, making eating and speaking less stable.

Overdentures, on the other hand, are anchored by dental implants or remaining natural teeth, offering greater stability, comfort, and jawbone preservation.

They also make daily maintenance easier and improve confidence with a secure, natural feel.

What to Expect: The Overdenture Process

Step 1: Consultation & Evaluation

We assess your oral health, bone density, and existing teeth to determine if overdentures are right for you, using advanced imaging and a personalized approach.

Step 2: Implant Placement

If implants are needed, they’re surgically placed in your jawbone. If using natural teeth for support, we prepare them to anchor your overdenture securely.

Step 3: Healing & Fitting

We allow time for healing and implant integration. During this phase, we may provide a temporary solution while your mouth adjusts and the foundation strengthens.

Step 4: Final Placement

Once healed, your custom overdenture is securely attached. We ensure a perfect fit, proper bite, and walk you through care and maintenance for lasting results.

Who’s a Good Candidate for Overdentures?

Overdentures are a great solution for patients who’ve lost several teeth but still have enough bone or healthy teeth to provide support. They offer enhanced stability, making them ideal for those frustrated by slipping or uncomfortable traditional dentures.
