The Feeling Of Fixed Teeth

Partial or removable dentures can create low self-esteem and poor quality of life. Implant-supported dentures can return the feeling of fixed teeth for a lifetime. People with multiple or all of their teeth missing can undergo overdentures or implant-supported dentures. Overdentures are replacement teeth that are retained by dental implants. It will also slow down the bone loss as it could act like a tooth root in the bone.

Types of Overdenture Treatment

Overdentures were developed for people who are missing teeth partially or completely. There are 3 types of overdentures:

• Implant retained, gum supported: Overdenture rests directly on the gums and will be retained with the implants on the upper or lower jaws.

• Bar - retained, implant-supported - Metal bars that connect to the upper or lower jaw will be implanted with the overdenture.

• Fixed, implant-supported - It is one piece framework secured using screws to implants placed either on the upper or lower jaws. This overdenture can be removed only with the help of a dentist.

Benefits Of Overdentures

Replacing missing teeth can always improve dental appearance and smile. There are few more benefits for overdentures such as:

• Helps retain facial features & structure: When there is an unhealthy or under-stimulated jaw it will create the skin near the nose and chin to shrink and look aged. Replacing the missing teeth with overdentures can help retain facial features.

• Better digestion: Overdentures are more stable so food can be chewed well which in turn promotes better digestion.

• Slows bone loss: Overdentures will help to stimulate the jaw bone while eating. This stimulation will slow down or even stop the bone loss.

• More comfort: Replacing the missing teeth can return good comfort to talk and chew.
