If loose dentures are making eating and speaking difficult, implant-supported dentures (overdentures) are a comfortable, affordable upgrade that brings back stability.
Implant-supported dentures clip firmly onto two to four implants instead of resting on the gums. They stop the slipping and sore spots of normal dentures, let you eat far more confidently, and preserve jawbone. They can be removable (clip on and off for cleaning) or fixed. They cost less than a full set of individual implants while feeling dramatically more secure.
How they work
A small number of implants are placed in the arch, and the denture attaches to them with secure clips or a bar. It stays firmly in place yet, in the removable type, can be taken out for easy cleaning.
Removable vs fixed
- Removable overdenture - clips onto implants, removed for cleaning; the most economical.
- Fixed (like All-on-4) - stays in permanently, removed only by the dentist.
Why they beat normal dentures
- No slipping, clicking or sore spots.
- Eat a much wider range of foods.
- Preserve jawbone and facial shape.
