SW Calgary Overdenture Implants

Overdentures, also called implant supported dentures, are dentures that are attached to dental implants that have been surgically implanted into the jawbone. They are a more stable and modern version of regular dentures. Regular dentures rest on the gum tissue and underlying jawbone, but overdentures remain anchored by a dental implant. Overdentures can solve the problems often found with regular dentures, like slipping while speaking or becoming loose while laughing or sneezing. Overdenture implants are a more stable solution, which often results in increased confidence and a more youthful overall appearance that can last for years.

In order for successful treatment using dental implants, they are only recommended to healthy patients, with healthy gum tissue and gums that are free of periodontal diseases. Patients must also have adequate bone levels in their jaw in order to support the dental implant.
