Traditional dentures rest on the gums and depend on tissue and bone for support. Overdentures or implant-supported dentures, however, feature special attachments that snap onto dental implants that have been placed strategically in the bone for support.
Dr. Amin Samadian often recommends implant-supported dentures to his patients because they can better preserve the bone around the missing teeth, remove the need for denture adhesives, and allow for easier chewing and eating. It also prevents bone loss, which is a common side effect of conventional dentures.
An overdenture is a denture arch that is supported by dental implants that are surgically implanted into your jawbone. It may be retained by balls, bars, or screws.
Since overdentures use dental implants for support, they are far more stable than traditional dentures, which are held by adhesive. Therefore, Dr. Amin Samadian likes to recommend them to his patients who would like a more comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. It may be a viable treatment if you no longer have teeth in your mouth, but enough bone to support implants. Overdentures can always evolve into All on Four implant-supported hybrid dentures that are fixed dentures that screw into the implants and serve completely like normal teeth.
