An implant overdenture is a type of overdentures that uses dental implants to permanently support the denture in the mouth. This is a great option for denture wearers because of it's many advantages. They are held in place and very strong so there is no need to worry about loose dentures while eating or talking. Cleaning is also simplified and the implants help prevent bone loss so the need for a dentures reline goes out the window. The downside is that implants are expensive, but the success rate and technology involved mean that few implants are needed to do the job.
An implant overdenture is a full denture used to replace an edentulous arch. This means that all the teeth are missing. While it is better to prevent the need to have dentures, if you are going to get them, you want dentures that will last, look good and allow you to eat and speak uninhibited. These are all common complaints concerning dentures. Cosmetic dentures are made to look as real as possible but still move around like normal dentures. Soft dentures help with the stability issues but there is still only so much they can do. This is where implants come in handy.
The most important aspect of an implant overdenture is the dental implant that is used to secure the denture. Implants are a dental device that uses titanium and special dental implant surgery to provide a secure anchor in the mouth. They are often used for a single tooth or an dental implant bridge, but they are so strong that merely a few could support a whole denture. This is because the implants are anchored directly into the bone and bond with the bone in a way that only titanium can. While expensive, these dentures are often the best long term solution for replacing so many teeth.
