Understanding Overdentures
Overdentures are a type of dental prosthesis that are designed to replace multiple missing teeth on either the upper or lower dental arches. Unlike traditional complete dentures, overdentures are anchored and supported by dental implants, which provide a secure and stable foundation for the replacement teeth. This means patients can enjoy greater comfort, improved functionality, and a more natural-looking smile. With overdentures, relying on adhesive or suction for retention is unnecessary, giving patients greater confidence and peace of mind.
Overdentures: Benefits
Overdentures have many advantages over complete dentures:
Improved Stability and Retention: Overdentures attach to dental implants and provide superior stability and retention compared to traditional dentures. This reduces the likelihood of the prosthetic appliance slipping or moving during eating or speaking, giving you greater comfort and confidence.
Preserving Jawbone Density: Dental Implants stimulate the jawbone beneath, preventing bone loss over time and maintaining bone density. This maintains facial aesthetics and helps prevent the sunken look often associated with toothlessness and traditional dentures.
Improved Chewing Efficiency:
The prosthetic appliance restores chewing efficiency by securely anchoring overdentures to dental implants. It allows people to chew and bite a wide variety of food with ease, promoting better nutrition and health.
Preventing Gum Irritation: The secure fitting of overdentures reduces the pressure and friction on the gums. This helps to prevent the soreness, irritation, and ulceration often associated with traditional dentures. This leads to improved oral comfort, which in turn improves the quality of life.
Long-Term Durability: With the right care and maintenance, an overdenture can offer long-term functionality and durability, providing a reliable tooth replacement solution that can withstand daily use.
Procedure
When it comes to obtaining overdentures, there are typically several steps involved in the procedure. These may include initial consultations with a dental professional, obtaining measurements and impressions of the patient's mouth, and creating a custom denture that fits comfortably and securely over any remaining natural teeth or dental implants. Additional steps such as tooth extractions or implant placement may also be necessary, depending on the specific case. It’s important to work closely with a qualified dental professional throughout the process to ensure that the resulting overdenture is functional, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing.
Consultation & Treatment Planning: Dr. Lyuba Taft will assess your oral health during your first consultation. She will also discuss your treatment goals and determine whether you are a candidate for overdentures. It may be necessary to use dental imaging techniques, such as X-rays or CT scanners, to determine the bone density and placement of implants.
Implant Placement: Dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone to support an overdenture. The number of implants and their position will depend on each individual’s anatomy and treatment plan.
Integration and Healing: Following implant placement, the implants must undergo a healing period to integrate with surrounding bone tissue. This process is called osseointegration, and it usually takes several months.
Fabrication Overdenture: After the implants are fully integrated, impressions of the dental arches are taken to fabricate an overdenture. The prosthetic appliance will be custom-made to fit snugly on the implants and provide maximum function and aesthetics.
Attachment: Specialized connectors and attachments are used to attach the overdenture to dental implants. The patient can enjoy the benefits of a restored smile and confidence.
