Implant Supported Overdenture

Standard dentures are unsecured prostheses with inherent limitations. Dentures can be painful, inconvenient and unstable for some patients. Such dentures can make chewing foods difficult, limiting the foods that you once enjoyed. 

The Implant Supported Overdenture treatment concept replaces your missing teeth with a complete denture supported by dental implants. Fewer implants are needed and overall treatment time and cost is reduced. Implant-supported overdentures stay connected with bar and clip attachment methods or use a variety of abutment-based attachments. The most appropriate attachment system for your individual needs relates to a variety of factors that is determined early in the treatment. Typically, a temporary set of teeth can be placed on the same day of surgery. The temporary teeth allow you to lead a normal life immediately after surgery. After a short healing period, Dr. Wulff will place the final overdenture. 

Implant Supported Overdentures offer you many advantages:

  • A cost effective solution. When compared to some other implant supported restoration methods, your new replacement teeth require fewer implants for each jaw. With fewer implants required, the cost is lowered.
  • Implant supported overdentures do not float in your mouth like some lower complete dentures can.
