Why Choose Implant Overdentures?
Implant-supported overdentures offer a transformative solution for individuals seeking a more secure, natural, and functional alternative to conventional dentures. According to research published in PubMed, implant overdentures significantly enhance oral function, comfort, and patient satisfaction compared to traditional denture options. These restorations are anchored by dental implants, which provide superior retention and stability. Patients report greater confidence in speaking, smiling, and eating, with many experiencing a dramatic improvement in their overall quality of life. The support implants provide reduces slippage and discomfort, which are common issues with removable dentures.
Health Benefits Beyond Aesthetics
Beyond the cosmetic benefits, implant overdentures contribute positively to oral health. The same PubMed study highlights how traditional dentures often accelerate bone resorption due to the pressure exerted on the jawbone. In contrast, implant overdentures help preserve bone structure by naturally distributing forces and stimulating the underlying bone through functional use.
This preservation minimizes facial sagging and helps maintain a youthful appearance, while promoting the prosthesis’s long-term stability. With advanced digital planning and technologies like CEREC and intraoral scanning, patients in Ocala, FL, can enjoy a customized, precise, and comfortable treatment experience with experts like Dr. Nick Brand and Dr. Eric Rustemier.
About the Procedure
Dental implants are a great way to improve your overall look and smile if you are experiencing tooth loss. If you have only received a few corrective dental implants, and a looking to gain additional, your dental implants can be used as a great foundation for partial denture placements. Also known as over-dentures, or implant-supported dentures, a dentist in Ocala, FL can place the dentures on top of the dental implants, offering several great benefits for you, such as:
- Increased quality of life: Improved appearance and patient satisfaction compared with conventional dentures because such dentures are stabilized by implants.
- Improved food chewing functioning: Patients with implant over-dentures have an increased biting force compared with patients who wear conventional complete dentures, and thus their ability to chew food improves, with more stability
- Less bone loss over time and more comfortable: results in continued, gradual bone loss due to the pressure of the denture on the underlying bone, making it increasingly difficult to wear dentures over time comfortably
Dental over-dentures can be placed using innovative technologies, such as Digital Smile Design, CEREC, and IV sedation, to ensure your treatment plan is formulated specifically to meet your unique needs safely and conveniently.
