What Are Implant-Supported Overdentures?

Implant-supported dentures are a significant advancement in tooth replacement technology. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on your gums, these innovative prosthetics are anchored to dental implants surgically placed in your jawbone. This secure foundation eliminates the common problems associated with traditional dentures, such as slipping, clicking sounds, and the need for messy adhesives.

The procedure involves strategically placing several dental implants—typically between two and four—in your jaw. These titanium posts integrate with your bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for your new teeth. Once healed, special attachments on the implants connect to corresponding fixtures on the custom-made denture, allowing it to snap securely into place.

What to Expect During the Implant-Supported Overdenture Process

At Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, we guide you through every step of your implant-supported denture treatment to ensure it’s right for you and you always know what to expect. Our caring professionals tailor each of the following steps to your unique needs:

Comprehensive Evaluation

Your treatment begins with a thorough examination, including detailed 3D imaging to assess your oral health, bone density, and anatomical structures. We will discuss your goals, explain your options, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Preparatory Procedures

Based on your initial consultation, you may require preliminary treatments such as tooth extractions, bone grafting, or gum disease therapy before implant placement. These procedures ensure the optimal foundation for your implants and maximize long-term success.

Implant Placement

Using precise surgical techniques and advanced technology, we carefully place the dental implants into your jawbone. This is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation options available for your comfort. As a periodontal specialist, Dr. Reich brings exceptional skill to this critical phase, ensuring optimal implant positioning that accomplishes both function and aesthetics.

Healing and Integration

After placement, the implants require time to fuse with your jawbone, typically three to six months. During this healing period, you may wear a temporary denture so you’re never without teeth. Our team will monitor your progress closely through regular follow-up appointments.

Final Restoration

Once your implants have fully integrated, your General Dentist will take impressions to create your custom denture. Working closely with top dental laboratories, your General Dentist will ensure your new teeth look natural and beautiful. When completed, your denture will attach to your implants.  Your Dentist will make any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort and bite alignment.

Benefits of Choosing Implant-Supported Overdentures

Dealing with ill-fitting dentures or missing teeth—which impacts over 120 million people in the U.S.—can be challenging, but you don’t have to live with these issues forever. Implant-supported overdentures offer the following advantages over traditional removable dentures, transforming both your oral health and quality of life:

Enhanced Stability and Function

With implant support, you can enjoy significantly improved natural chewing efficiency, allowing you to eat virtually anything without worry. This stability also translates to improved speech clarity, as the denture won’t move unexpectedly when you’re talking.

Bone Preservation

When teeth are lost, the underlying bone begins to deteriorate in a process called resorption. Traditional dentures can’t stop this bone loss and may even accelerate it over time. Dental implants, however, stimulate the bone much like natural tooth roots, maintaining your facial structure and preventing the collapsed appearance often associated with long-term denture wear.

Improved Comfort and Confidence

Without the bulky palate coverage required for traditional upper dentures, implant-supported versions allow for better temperature sensation and taste enjoyment. They’re also precisely fitted to your unique mouth structure, eliminating sore spots and irritation commonly experienced with conventional dentures. Most importantly, knowing your teeth are securely in place gives you the confidence to laugh, speak, and smile without hesitation or embarrassment.
