Great question. Implant-supported dentures, also called overdentures, are a great option for patients who are missing multiple teeth. Because they are secured by two or more implants to provide better support, aesthetics, and function, they make an ideal option for patients who have lost a tooth or several teeth due to anything from lack of dental care over a prolonged period of time to accidents or injuries.

The advantages of implant-supported dentures? They can improve oral function and appearance almost instantly. The implants act as an anchor, ensuring you’ll have proper chewing function for the rest of your life.

Implant-supported dentures are aesthetically pleasing, easy to maintain, and are typically more comfortable than conventional dentures because they are secure and function more like your natural teeth. Best of all, unlike with traditional dentures, there is no need to use denture adhesives.
