What Are Overdentures?
Overdentures are versatile dental prosthetics capable of replacing missing teeth in a variety of situations. Overdentures are similar to dentures in that they can replace much or all of an arch of teeth, but they are anchored to fixed points. Whether those anchors are your healthy, natural teeth or dental implants, overdentures fit over these points and remain firmly in place thanks to them.
Preserving your natural smile as much as possible is a main concern at our practice because live tooth roots are important for stimulating your jawbone and keeping your gums healthy. While we want to maintain natural oral structure, there are times when teeth are beyond repair because of issues like advanced decay. In these situations, we offer implant overdentures.
Here's a closer look at the two main types of overdentures we provide:
- Implant Overdentures: These are anchored onto dental implants surgically placed in your jawbone. Implant overdentures offer exceptional stability and a natural mouth feel. Dental implants also stimulate the bone where your missing teeth were, keeping it strong and often improving oral health.
- Partial Overdentures: Ideal for those with some natural teeth remaining, these prosthetics are designed to fit snugly and comfortably, filling the gaps in your smile. Partial dentures can fit many different needs, and we'll talk to you about when a partial overdenture may be preferred to other restorations we offer, like dental crowns.
Our Process for Providing Reliable Overdentures
When restoring your smile, you want to ensure you get skilled services and a prosthetic that stands the test of time. Our team of dentists is ready to guide you to the choices that work best for your oral health situation. When you decide on overdentures from our practice, you can rest assured you're getting precision prosthetics made with durable materials placed by an experienced hand.
Our process can involve several steps depending on your needs and the type of overdenture we're providing, but a general plan looks something like this:
- Initial Consultation and Examination: We'll begin with a personalized consultation at our office to assess your dental needs and discuss your goals. Our dentist closely examines your teeth and identifies the right options for restoring your smile. At this point, we take impressions of your bite if you decide to move forward with overdentures.
- Custom Fabrication: A trusted dental lab will produce your overdenture with care. This process usually takes 10-14 days.
- Fitting and Adjustment: Once we receive your denture, we'll place it and ensure a comfortable fit. Over time, your gum line may change, and your prosthetic may need to be relined. Don't hesitate to contact us if your denture fit is changing.
Concord Partial & Implant Overdentures FAQs
When you're struggling with multiple missing teeth or require a full-clearance extraction, it's normal to have a lot of questions. Our team is here for you in these uncertain situations, and we are passionate about empowering you with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions. Some of the frequently asked questions we receive are:
You can care for your dentures just like your natural teeth. You'll need to brush every day, and our dentist will instruct you about how to floss. It's also important to maintain your regular checkups so we can monitor the status of your prosthetic and provide deeper cleanings when needed.
Depending on whether you get an implant-supported or traditional overdenture, you can expect the prosthetic itself to last for more than a decade if you maintain good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. If you have dental implants, the implant posts will fuse with your jawbone, meaning they're permanent parts of your smile.
Our process is different for everyone; sometimes, it's as simple as taking impressions and fitting you for your denture, but other times, we must take more advanced steps. You can be sure we'll do everything possible to maximize your comfort throughout the process. We offer various sedation options, and our dentist will talk to you about any concerns or anxieties you might have before the procedure.
