Restoring Confidence with Enhanced Stability
Are you seeking a comfortable and reliable solution for missing teeth that offers enhanced stability and functionality? Overdentures at South Gate Dental Clinic provide an innovative option for patients looking to restore their smiles with confidence. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of overdentures and how our experienced team ensures optimal outcomes for our patients.
Understanding Overdentures:
Overdentures, also known as implant-supported dentures, are removable dental prostheses that are supported by dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rely solely on suction or adhesive for stability, overdentures are anchored securely to dental implants, providing improved retention, stability, and chewing efficiency. This innovative approach offers numerous advantages for patients seeking a more comfortable and functional alternative to traditional dentures.
Key Benefits of Overdentures:
- Enhanced Stability: By anchoring the denture to dental implants, overdentures offer significantly improved stability and retention, allowing for confident speaking, eating, and smiling.
- Improved Chewing Efficiency: Overdentures provide better chewing efficiency compared to traditional dentures, allowing patients to enjoy a wider range of foods with ease.
- Preservation of Jawbone: Dental implants stimulate the underlying jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure and contours over time.
- Long-Term Durability: With proper care, overdentures can last for many years, providing a reliable and durable solution for tooth replacement.
The Overdenture Process:
- Initial Consultation: During your initial consultation at South Gate Dental Clinic, our experienced team will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment goals and options for tooth replacement.
- Implant Placement: Dental implants will be surgically placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. The number and location of implants will depend on your specific needs and jawbone structure.
- Healing and Integration: Over a period of several months, the implants will integrate with the surrounding bone tissue in a process called osseointegration, providing a strong and stable foundation for the overdenture.
- Denture Fabrication: Once the implants have fully healed and integrated, custom-made dentures will be fabricated to fit securely onto the implants and restore your smile's aesthetics and function.
- Attachment and Adjustment: The overdenture will be attached to the implants using special connectors, and any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure proper fit, comfort, and functionality.
