Overdentures: Replacement Teeth (Dentures) Retained Through Dental Implants
While Dentures have long been considered a dependable option to replace your own teeth, some issues can develop with their use. The main difficulty with Dentures is that they rest on your existing teeth and gums for stability. This can promote bone loss, tooth decay and even periodontal (gum) disease.
Fortunately, there have been some modern advances in the use of Dentures, including one known as Overdentures. Overdentures are replacement teeth (Dentures) that are retained through the use of Dental Implant technology. The titanium posts used in implants are used to safely and permanently secure your Dentures in place.
This combination of traditional Dentures with the newer science of Dental Implants provides a viable solution for patients missing several or all of their teeth and who want to live a normal life and avoid some of the discomforts associated with Dentures.
