Overdentures vs. Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures sit on the gums and may slip or require adhesive as the jawbone changes. They restore appearance and function but can feel unstable while eating or speaking.
Overdentures are supported by implants or natural teeth, offering a more secure, comfortable fit. They help maintain jawbone health, reduce shifting, and are easy to clean.

What to Expect: The Overdenture Process

Step 1: Consultation & Evaluation

We assess your oral health, bone density, and existing teeth to determine if overdentures are right for you, using advanced imaging and a personalized approach.

Step 2: Implant Placement or Tooth Prep

If implants are needed, they’re surgically placed in your jawbone. If using natural teeth for support, we prepare them to anchor your overdenture securely.

Step 3: Healing & Fitting

We allow time for healing and implant integration. During this phase, we may provide a temporary solution while your mouth adjusts and the foundation strengthens.

Step 4: Final Overdenture Placement

Once healed, your custom overdenture is securely attached. We ensure a perfect fit, proper bite, and walk you through care and maintenance for lasting results.

Who’s a Good Candidate for Overdentures?

Overdentures are ideal for patients who have lost multiple teeth but still have healthy jawbone density or suitable teeth for support. They’re also great for those seeking more stability than traditional dentures.

If you have difficulty eating, speaking, or feel self-conscious due to slipping dentures, overdentures may be the right solution. A consultation helps determine if you’re a candidate.

Proper Oral Hygiene

Even with overdentures, brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings are essential to protect your gums, remaining teeth, and prevent infections or irritation.
