Implant Overdentures
The greatest advancement in the modern era of dentistry is the dental implant. While it is
useful in replacing missing teeth, the most dramatic and significant usage is in implant
overdentures.
Implant overdentures have changed the lives of thousands of individuals, especially
those who had traditional lower dentures. While an upper denture tends to have sufficient stability,
the lower denture is more commonly referred to as a "floater." Without regular and large quantities
of denture adhesive, the lower denture is unstable in most situations.
Dental Implants allows the lower denture to snap into place, restoring normal biting forces and
greatly improving the comfort of chewing and the cleanliness of the lower denture. Imaging eating
steak again! Or what about fresh vegetables? For most patients, implant overdentures can restore a
healthy, high fiber diet. In addition, implant overdentures can give a denture wearer back a feeling of
predictability, especially in social situations, such as a restaurant or at church.
