Achieve the perfect balance between stability and flexibility with implant overdentures at Laing Family Dentistry. If you’ve struggled with loose or uncomfortable dentures, implant overdentures provide a secure, comfortable solution that can be removed for cleaning and maintenance while still offering the stability of dental implants.

What Are Implant Overdentures?

Implant overdentures are removable dentures that are secured in place using dental implants. Unlike conventional dentures, which rest on the gums, overdentures are anchored to implants placed in the jawbone, providing enhanced stability and comfort.

Benefits of Implant Overdentures

  • Secure Fit: No slipping, sliding, or discomfort while speaking or eating.
  • Improved Function: Chew and speak with confidence and ease.
  • Removable for Cleaning: Easy to maintain and clean while offering the stability of implants.
  • Preserve Bone Health: Prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure.
  • Cost-Effective Stability: A more affordable option compared to fixed implant dentures.

How Do Implant Overdentures Work?

  1. Placement of Implants
    Typically, 2-4 implants are placed into the jawbone to provide support for the overdentures.
  2. Attachment Mechanism
    The overdentures snap securely onto the implants using attachments, offering a snug fit without the need for adhesives.
  3. Removability
    While implant overdentures remain securely in place during daily use, they can be removed for easy cleaning.
