Implant Over Denture

Implant Over Denture In Uxbridge

Implant-retained dentures offer a secure and comfortable alternative to traditional removable dentures. By attaching the denture to carefully placed dental implants, this treatment provides improved stability and helps prevent movement while eating, speaking, or smiling. Many patients find implant-retained dentures more comfortable and confidence-boosting than conventional dentures.

This treatment is suitable for patients who have lost multiple teeth or a full arch of teeth and are looking for a more reliable solution. Implant-retained dentures can improve chewing efficiency, enhance speech, and provide a more natural feel. During your consultation, we will assess your oral health and discuss whether implant-retained dentures are the right option for your needs.

Benefits Of Treatment

Implant-retained dentures are securely anchored to dental implants, reducing movement and improving comfort throughout the day.

Improved Chewing Ability

The added support allows you to enjoy a wider variety of foods with greater confidence and ease.

Greater Comfort

Because the dentures are held firmly in place, they are less likely to cause irritation or sore spots compared to traditional dentures.

Increased Confidence

A secure fit helps you speak, smile, and socialise without worrying about your dentures slipping or shifting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Implant Over denture?

An implant over denture fits over dental implants and provides you with excellent stability and support for your denture implants.

Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported overdentures or implant dentures are held in place by dental attachments that provide the retentive strength that you desire.

The most important consideration in your decision to choose an implant overdenture or denture implant is the limited retention and stability of a traditional denture which relies on suction alone. Over time, retention only worsens due to continual bone loss (atrophy) of your dental arches from the lack of teeth. The significant concerns regarding chewing and speech can be overcome by placing 2 implants in the lower and 4 implants in the upper jaw.

  1. Having dental implants placed will preserve bone and will dramatically reduce bone resorption and deterioration that results in loss of jawbone height.
  2. Implant overdentures will control facial contour changes that lead to premature aging.
  3. Implant overdentures will allow you to chew your food better and speak more clearly. Studies have proven that over dentures contribute to improved chewing efficiency and phonetics.
  4. Loose dentures that cause embarrassment will be eliminated. Messy denture creams and adhesives are no longer needed with denture implants.
