    What is an overdenture?

    An overdenture is a dental appliance that is attached to the underlying tooth structure and positioned on the top of the teeth to stabilise the structure. In situations where there are no teeth, it can be placed on dental implants attached to bone. This is a detachable dental application that is used to replace one or more teeth within a jaw dental arch. Anyone losing one or multiple teeth might require to undergo a complete or partial overdenture as they tend to lose the original structure of the jawbone. Under such circumstances, dentists attach the denture either to the remaining teeth in the mouth or to an implant to prevent the deformation of the jawbone.

    Advantages of a complete overdenture

    • As a whole, overdenture helps in better functioning of teeth and gums, especially if compared with those of normal dentures. Ordinary dentures are not very stable and may require refitting in the future. Overdentures are removable and sustainably used so that it can provide support to the underlying bone for a long time.
    • Overdentures that are being attached with screws are quite stable and long-lasting. This provides improved stability of the gums and that lets you chew your food thoroughly. This, in turn, results in the breakdown of food particles and promotes better digestion.
    • If you have experienced tooth loss, then the natural process of jaw shrinking might change your appearance by shrinking the space between chin and nose. This shrinking can be avoided by undergoing an overdenture procedure.
    • After undergoing the implant overdenture procedure, the jaw bone gets stimulated constantly either by natural teeth or by the dental implants. With this stimulation process, the gum will stop shrinking and you can restore your facial structure.
    • Attaching overdenture with implants is more secure and stable and eliminates any chances of embarrassment.

    • I am a denture wearer; can my current dentures be adjusted to be used for making the overdentures for implant-retained dentures?

      Yes, there is a possibility that your current dentures can be used with small modifications. But this can be checked only during the first checkup with our Implantologist Dr. Deepika Khanna

    • I often suffer from inflammation and sore spots due to the denture moving and brushing against my gums when I chew food. Will overdentures help me in the prevention of these sore spots?

      Yes, since the overdentures are anchored and snap-fitted on the implants that are placed in the jaw or the mandible, they cannot move when you chew and hence, the sore spots are prevented and chewing is made a lot more comfortable by overdentures.

    • What can I eat with implant-retained overdentures?

      Overdentures provide you a new life especially in the case of foods that you can not eat when you have dentures. With implant retained overdentures, you can eat most of the food that you have to avoid when you are wearing conventional dentures.

    • Will I still need to stick the denture with adhesives?

      No, the overdentures are kept in place in the mouth through a snap fit on the implants and hence no adhesives are required.

    • What are Overdentures with Implant/ What are Implant retained dentures?

      Edentulous patients with sufficient amount of bony ridge can opt for implant supported overdenture. This type of overdenture gains support from both the dental implants and intraoral tissues. Implant-supported overdenture provides better stability of the prosthesis and reduces bone resorption. However, this treatment needs sufficient time

    • What is the difference between Denture and teeth supported Overdenture?

      The principle of Overdenture lies in retaining natural teeth/roots as abutments in order to support the prosthesis and considerably reduce the progress of residual ridge resorption. Another advantage of overdenture is that the sensory aspect is improved. The nerves in the roots/teeth are still present and therefore sensation is enhanced. On the other hand, complete denture will require extraction of all remaining teeth.
