Implant Overdentures Services
At Smile.Li Dental, we understand the importance of restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile. Implant overdentures offer a reliable and comfortable solution for patients who are missing multiple teeth and seeking a stable alternative to traditional dentures.
What is an Implant Overdenture?
An implant overdenture is a removable dental prosthesis that is supported by dental implants surgically placed into the jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures, which rely solely on suction or adhesive for stability, implant overdentures are securely anchored to dental implants, providing enhanced stability and retention. Implant overdentures can be designed to replace either the upper or lower arch of missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to the smile. With their natural-looking appearance and comfortable fit, implant overdentures offer a long-lasting solution for patients seeking improved oral health and quality of life.
Benefits of Implant Overdentures:
- Enhanced Stability: Implant overdentures are securely anchored to dental implants, preventing slippage and ensuring a stable and comfortable fit.
- Improved Chewing Efficiency: With greater stability and retention, implant overdentures enable patients to chew and eat a wider variety of foods with confidence.
- Preservation of Jawbone: Dental implants stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss, helping to maintain the integrity of the jawbone structure and facial appearance.
- Reduced Discomfort: Implant overdentures distribute chewing forces more evenly across the jawbone, reducing the risk of sore spots and discomfort associated with traditional dentures.
- Enhanced Confidence: By restoring a natural-looking smile and improving oral function, implant overdentures can boost self-esteem and confidence in social interactions.
