Overdentures

Dentures with added stability and benefits

If you are tired of messy dental adhesive and tired of the denture frustrations, the team at New Leaf Rohnert Park has the solution with overdentures. This removable dental prosthesis is similar to your traditional denture but secured into place, so you can say goodbye to adhesives and slippage.

Benefits of Overdentures

If you have lost your teeth, whether on the upper or lower arch, you know how tooth loss can affect your speech, smile and ability to eat. While traditional dentures can help, they often become loose and uncomfortable. Over time, you will also see changes in your face as bone loss occurs in your jawbone. Overdentures offer solutions to these problems and the benefits of overdentures include:

N

Greater Comfort and Fit – Because an overdenture is secured into place, you don’t have to worry about slippage.

N

Eat Like You Used To – Eating with regular dentures can be difficult and problematic. Chewing can loosen your denture and biting into something can be enough to pull out your denture. Because overdentures are secured into your mouth, you are able to bite and chew more effectively, helping to also improve your digestion and nutrition absorption.

N

No More Messing Adhesives – Because overdentures secure to implants in your jaw, you can say goodbye to messy adhesives.

N

Reduced Bone Loss – The roots of your teeth are what support bone stability in the jaw. When you lose your teeth, the bone tissue in the jaw begins to atrophy, often contributing to changes in facial features. Dental implants used to secure your overdenture bond with the jawbone and promote bone growth and stability.

How Overdentures Offer Improved Function

Are you tired of embarrassing moments when your dentures slip during speech or while eating? Do you want something more permanent but are not a candidate for full dental implants? Then overdentures may be just the solution you are looking for.

Our dentist will discuss the benefits of overdentures and how they might work for you. As long as your general and oral health are good and you have a sufficient amount of jawbone for a dental implant, our team can work with you to create an overdenture treatment plan that will give you the security and confidence you have always wanted but traditional dentures fell short of.

FAQ

What are overdentures?

Overdentures are similar to traditional dentures but with a slight difference. Instead of using adhesives to hold your denture in place, overdentures attach to a remaining natural tooth or an implant-supported system to stabilize the denture, similar to a traditional bridge. The overdenture locks on to the natural tooth or implant screw and clicks into place.

In addition to making your denture more secure, the use of a natural stabilizing tooth or surgically implanted rods helps to reduce the typical bone loss in the jawbone seen after tooth loss.

At the end of the day, you simply snap your overdenture off the stabilizing locations and soak overnight, in the same way you do your traditional denture

How do overdentures work?

Overdentures work by attaching to your natural teeth or dental implants. Your dentist will shape your remaining teeth or place implants in your jaw, and then create a custom denture that fits snugly over them. The overdenture is held in place by clips or special attachments, so it stays secure and feels more like your real teeth.

What’s the difference between overdentures and regular dentures?

The main difference between overdentures and regular dentures is how they’re held in place. Regular dentures sit on top of your gums and use suction to stay in place. Overdentures, on the other hand, attach to your remaining teeth or dental implants. This makes overdentures more stable and comfortable than traditional dentures.

How do I care for my overdentures?

Caring for your overdentures is similar to caring for regular dentures. You’ll need to remove them every night and clean them with a soft brush and denture cleaner. It’s also important to brush your remaining natural teeth or implants, and clean the attachments on your overdenture. Be sure to visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and adjustments.

Are overdentures more expensive than regular dentures?

Overdentures can be more expensive than regular dentures because they require extra work to prepare your remaining teeth or place dental implants. However, many people find that the added comfort and stability are worth the extra cost. Talk to your dentist about your options and the cost of overdentures to see if they’re right for you.
