What is Implant-Supported Overdenture?

An implant-supported overdenture is used when a person has no working teeth in one of their jaws. So, like regular dentures, these cover your whole jaw with a row of prosthetic teeth. The only difference is that they’re fastened onto the gums with metal implants. This way, they’re more comfortable, stable, and functional than regular dentures.

Another important feature of these dentures is that they’re removable. So don’t be worried about permanently nailing them to your gums. While there are options for a permanent fix, such denture implants can be a hindrance.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Overdenture Paramus, NJ

There are various benefits of implant-supported overdenture, some of which are as follows:
  • Secured in Place: The main benefit of implant-supported dentures is they stay securely in place. Their metal implants keep them from slipping or shifting in your mouth. So you won’t have any difficulty speaking and eating.
  • Less Bone Loss in Jaw: When all the teeth are missing or removed, the jaw gradually weakens and dissolves over time. However, since dental implants are surgically planted into the jawbone, they keep the bone stimulated and strong.
  • Eat More Food: Eating certain foods with traditional dentures can be difficult. For example, chewy and sticky foods can cause the dentures to detach from your gums. But with implant-supported dentures, you can eat normally as you would with natural teeth.
  • Longevity: Implant-supported dentures last a lot longer than regular dentures. They can resist damage and wear, so you won't have to replace them frequently.

Process of Single Tooth Implant Paramus, NJ

Before we go into the process, just know that this procedure can take several months to complete. This is because of the long healing and adjustment periods between certain steps. The process of a single tooth implant in Paramus, NJ, is as follows:
  • Before the procedure, you’ll go through an initial consultation and examination. One of our specialists will assess your oral health, bone density, and overall suitability of the implant. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and address concerns.
  • At the start of the surgery, you’ll be given an anesthetic to numb your teeth and the surrounding gums. That way, the procedure will be painless, and you won't feel a thing.
  • If you’re replacing a damaged tooth instead of a missing tooth, it will need to be extracted.
  • Next, our oral surgeon will make an incision in the gums to access your jawbone underneath it. They’ll also drill a hole in the bone where the metal implant will be placed.
  • Once the implant is fixed in the jawbone, a healing period of several weeks to a few months is required. The implant will fuse with the surrounding bone during this time, making a stable foundation for your new tooth.
  • After the healing period, the abutment is screwed onto the implant. Then, finally, your custom-made crown will be fixed onto the abutment.
