WHAT IS AN IMPLANT SUPPORTED OVERDENTURE?
A denture that is supported by implants is known as an implant supported overdenture.
An overdenture that is affixed to and supported by implants is known as an implant-supported denture. Ordinary dentures are not supported by implants; instead, they lie on the gums.
When a person has sufficient bone in their jaw to support implants but no teeth, they may use implant supported dentures. These dentures have unique base attachments that slide onto implant attachments to increase the denture’s stability while in use. This helps to improve your ability to chew as well as the appearance of your denture by decreasing its tendency to shift during eating and speaking.
Implant-supported overdentures are a popular option for those who need to replace missing teeth. They are a very advantageous replacement for conventional dentures.
The overdenture is anchored in place by these implants. Like natural teeth, an overdenture supported by implants is fastened in the mouth. It can be taken off for upkeep and cleaning at night.
For almost 20 years, patients in the dental field have frequently received these kinds of dentures as treatment.
