While Dentures have long been considered a dependable option to replace your own teeth, some issues can develop with their use. The main difficulty with Dentures is that they rest on your existing teeth and gums for stability. This can promote bone loss, tooth decay and even periodontal (gum) disease.
Fortunately, there have been advances in the use of Dentures, including one known as Overdentures. Overdentures are replacement teeth (Dentures) that are retained through the use of Dental Implant technology. Titanium posts safely and permanently secure your Dentures in place.
This combination of traditional Dentures with the newer science of Dental Implants provides a viable solution for patients missing several or all of their teeth and who want to live a normal life and avoid some of the discomforts associated with Dentures.
We recommend Overdentures – a combination of Dentures and Dental Implants – to many of our patients because they avoid many of the problems associated with traditional Dentures.
Benefits include improved biting pressure and digestion, decreased bone loss, improved retention of facial structure along with improved comfort. With proper care, Overdentures can last up to 20 years.
There are many benefits to Overdentures over traditional Dentures, including:
- Provides better stability for your teeth, resulting in improved biting pressure and thus digestion (you chew your food more effectively)
- Helps prevent bone loss that could result from the use of dentures alone
- Helps retain your facial features and structure
- Provides added comfort and self-confidence while reducing the likelihood of mouth sores and Denture dislodgement
