At Tri-County Dental Arts, we understand how important it is to have a stable, functional, and beautiful smile—especially after tooth loss. Overdentures, also known as implant-retained dentures, are a modern solution that combines the benefits of dental implants with the affordability of traditional dentures. Whether you are struggling with loose dentures or facing full tooth loss, overdentures offer a secure and long-lasting alternative.
Book OnlineWhat Are Overdentures?
Overdentures are removable dentures that attach to dental implants placed in the jawbone. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums and rely on suction or adhesives, overdentures “snap” onto implants for improved stability. They can be used on the upper or lower arch—or both—and can be removed for cleaning.
Indications for Overdentures
Overdentures may be recommended if you:
- Are missing all or most of your teeth
- Are unhappy with loose, uncomfortable traditional dentures
- Have adequate bone structure to support implants (or are eligible for bone grafting)
- Seek a cost-effective alternative to full arch fixed implant bridges
- Desire better speech, chewing ability, and oral health
Overdentures are also an excellent option for patients who need more support than traditional dentures provide but are not candidates for full fixed implant restorations.
Benefits of Overdentures
Choosing overdentures can significantly improve your quality of life. Key benefits include:
✅ Enhanced Stability & Comfort
Implants anchor your dentures firmly in place—no more slipping, rocking, or painful sore spots.
✅ Improved Chewing & Nutrition
You can enjoy a wider range of foods with confidence, leading to better digestion and overall health.
✅ Better Speech
Say goodbye to slurred words or clicking sounds often associated with loose dentures.
✅ Bone Preservation
Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent bone loss that occurs with traditional dentures.
✅ Increased Confidence
A secure smile means you can speak, eat, and laugh without worry or embarrassment.
✅ Removable for Easy Cleaning
Overdentures offer the security of implants with the convenience of removable prosthetics for hygiene and maintenance.
