Implant-supported overdentures represent a functional fusion of dental implants and dentures. While dental implants are an excellent method of tooth replacement, what about patients who are missing many teeth? It would be costly and very invasive to replace each absent tooth with an individual dental implant.
Instead, implant-supported overdentures may be a perfect option for you. As the name suggests, these dentures are supported by your dental implants. Instead of resting on your gums, dental implants secure your overdentures. You may need as few as two to four implants to hold your dentures in place.
Most patients find implant-supported overdentures to be more secure and more comfortable than conventional dentures. Overdentures are also convenient. Although dental implants are not removable, you will still be able to “snap” off your overdentures for cleaning and sleeping.
