Implant Overdentures

Introduction

Introduction to Implant Overdentures

Missing teeth can cause a loss of confidence and quality of life. Thankfully, there are many options to solve this problem. One of the most popular solutions offered by the dental appliance of implant overdentures is An implant overdenture that can replace several teeth at once. Implant overdentures are more stable in comparison to traditional dentures as they click into dental implants anchored in the jawbone. They help preserve the jawbone by restricting the number of implants needed per section of teeth, thereby reducing the need for bone grafts. If you need implant overdentures in Bakersfield, CA, Valley Grace Dental and Dr. Huang offer personalized evaluations to determine if this procedure is suitable for your functional needs and lifestyle.

What Are Implant Overdentures?

Implant overdentures can be used to replace one or all the upper and lower teeth. Instead of resting on top of your gums like traditional dentures, an implant overdenture attaches directly to your jawbone on top of dental implants. Dental implants are tiny threaded posts that substitute missing roots. These dentures have attachments that snap them onto these implants in your jaw. As a result, implant overdentures are held in place more strongly, and patients don’t have to worry about slippage during eating, chewing, and speaking. Further, anchoring in fixed implants protects the jawbone from wear and tear.

  • Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. They have a nice big office that is comfortable.

    I was there for a new patient appointment to have x-rays taken and to meet the doctor, who I really liked. I then waited to see the dental hygienist for my cleaning and because I did both, I was there about 2 hours.
