What are the benefits of implant overdentures?

Implant overdentures can increase your biting force compared to standard dentures because of their superior stability.

Being more stable, your implant overdentures also make it easier to speak clearly and confidently without the risk of them being shifted or falling out.

How are implant overdentures fixed into place?

Implant overdentures are fixed into place but are also specifically designed to be removable. Dental implants that attach overdentures are created with a special mechanism that clicks the dentures into place to lock them securely.

What Is an Implant Overdenture?

Chew and eat more naturally and enjoy life
to the maximum again!

We get this question a lot at the Belleville Denture Clinic. An overdenture is a complete or partial denture that attaches to an underlying dental implant. Overdentures provide much improved function and retention when compared to conventional dentures. They drastically increase your maximum bite force and enable you to eat all the foods that you love.

Benefits Of Overdentures

Removal of upper denture palate and increased taste sensation
Improved functionality
Improved retention
Increased bite force

Dental Implants are root replacements and are the best way to secure a denture. Once the implant is placed it will integrate into your jaw bone and provide a stable and reliable anchor on which your denture can be attached.

Studies show that dental implants preserve jaw bone levels over time. This is extremely important because the jaw bone is the foundation for your dentures. Eating, speech and laughter can now be performed with confidence, as implants are the closest thing to natural teeth!

Historically, dental implants have a high clinical success rate. Patients who have chosen dental implants often remark how similar the implant feels to their own natural teeth.

The Denture Implant Process

There are quite a few different options when it comes to having denture implants. In most cases, the implants are placed in the mouth and covered under the soft tissue. After 3-4 months, the implants will become strong enough to attach the denture to them. During this time, you will still be able to wear your old dentures or a new set during the healing process. After the 3-4 month period, our Denturist will then attach the denture to the implants by taking a new impression and relining the denture.

How long do standard dentures last?

Like any denture solution, standard dentures will wear out over time and need to be replaced. Standard dentures are made to last anywhere from 5 to 7 years. You can get the most out of your dentures by practicing proper oral care and cleaning your dentures daily. Seeing your denturist for regular checkups and maintenance is also important for getting the longest possible life from your standard dentures.
Can I wear standard dentures 24/7?

It is not recommended to wear standard dentures all the time. Not taking the dentures out deprives your gums of needed rest. This can speed up bone loss in the jaw, causing the dentures to not fit properly sooner than if the gums had been given rest. The gums and underside of the dentures need to be cleaned on a daily basis as well. Food and bacteria can get trapped between the gums and dentures causing inflammation and gum disease. It is recommended to take out your dentures while you sleep.
Should dentures be stored wet or dry?

When you aren’t wearing dentures, they should be stored in a way that they are kept wet. Place them in lukewarm water, or a specialized denture cleansing solution. If the dentures are allowed to dry out, they could lose their shape and not fit properly when you put them back in your mouth.
Can you use a regular toothbrush to clean dentures?
Can I eat normally with standard dentures?

When you first get standard dentures, you will have to make some adjustments to what you eat until you can get used to the feel of eating with them. At first, you will want to avoid hard and sticky foods as they can cause discomfort to the gums if they haven’t adjusted to the dentures. As you adjust to your new dentures, you can slowly incorporate some of these foods back into your diet, but be careful and pay extra attention to how your gums feel when you eat these foods to help you find the best way to eat with your dentures.

One thing you should always avoid when you have dentures is chewing gum. Gum can stick to the acrylic material of the denture, and eventually harden and cause discolouration. In the worst-case scenario, gum can break a seal on the dentures, causing parts of them to become loose and not fit in your mouth properly.
