The technology of implant-supported overdentures provides our dentists with a superior method of replacing multiple teeth or all the teeth with a better type of dentures. Overdentures prove to be far more stable than conventional dentures and are as functional as natural teeth. Finally, eating and speaking are no longer impeded by unstable conventional dentures that slip and shift.
The procedure starts with the placement of dental implants in the bone of the jaw. Once these implants heal, a custom-designed overdenture is manufactured that snaps onto the attachment point of the implants. These are commonly referred to as snap-on or snap-in dentures.
We are pleased to offer our patients this type of denture that is more advanced and comfortable than conventional dentures. We intend for our patients to have a superior experience every time they visit our office and this method of providing more functional dentures enables us to do so.
Fixed Overdentures Are Perfect for Certain Types of Patients
There are some patients who prefer fixed dentures over conventional dentures when they lose their teeth. When dentures are permanently fixed to the dental implant, these are called fixed hybrid dentures. These fixed hybrid implant dentures can only be removed in our office.
While fixed hybrid dentures are right for some people, others prefer to be able to remove the implant-supported overdenture every night. These removable, anchored dentures are just as secure as ones that are fixed. We may make recommendations based on our experience but the choice between snap-in dentures and a hybrid denture is yours.
When comparing the wearing of implant-supported dentures (removable or fixed) to traditional dentures, our patients express far greater satisfaction, comfort and ease of eating and talking with implant-supported dentures.

Life after Overdentures
It might take a little time to get accustomed to your new snap-in dentures or hybrid dentures. Most people who wore conventional dentures before getting implant-supported overdentures don’t mind the minor adjustments they might experience. They are so delighted with their new ability to eat without the impediment of unstable dentures that any adjustments are insignificant.
When you are new to dentures of any kind, there could be some minor soreness as your mouth gets used to the presence of the overdentures. Just eat softer foods at first until your mouth tissues adapt. You should also protect your overall health by staying hydrated and maintaining a good diet. When you receive your implant-supported dentures, we will instruct you on other ways to get the longest life out of both your overdenture and dental implants.
As for speaking, it’s possible that no adjustment time is needed other than adjusting to the pleasure of not suffering from dentures that slip as you talk. Implant-supported overdentures are the newest generation of tooth replacement, and one we are delighted to offer to our patients.
Caring for Your Overdentures
The care for a snap on overdenture is no more complex than caring for your natural teeth. Follow these steps to prevent bacterial accumulation or odors.
- Be sure to remove the overdenture every night to allow gum tissue to be exposed to the air and saliva.
- Scrub your overdenture gently with a denture brush and a gentle soap. Special care should be paid to cleaning the attachment points of your overdenture. It’s important to remove all food residue from these areas or the denture may not fit properly.
- Store the overdenture in a denture box. Once a week, add a gentle formula denture cleaning tablet to the box.
- Be sure to clean the roof of your mouth, tongue and gums well, paying careful attention to the areas that have dental implants to ensure all food particles are removed. Use a soft toothbrush and mild toothpaste.
- When some natural teeth remain, water flossing daily can help protect your dental implants and extend their life to their maximum expectancy.

You should also schedule regular visits to our office to check the soundness of your overdenture along with having the health of your gums and implants examined. At the same time, we will examine you for any signs of oral cancer or any other oral health problems.
At each visit, we will examine each dental implant to ensure it is healthy. With some detailed imaging, we can ensure that your dental implants are healthy both above and below the gums. By having your dental implants examined twice each year, you can ensure their longevity for many years to come.
