Shan Dental stands for the high quality and strength through which Dr. Pathak and his associates help in making replacements for teeth, which, most importantly, are very comfortable. Overdentures provide an excellent alternative for a person who wants to enjoy all the advantages of an implant and still the convenience of removable dentures because it can either be partial or full arch overdentures, bringing in safety and confidence while smiling, talking, or eating.
● Overdentures are the type of denture that is supported by implants, typically dental implants, giving more stability and retention rather than ordinary dentures.
● Overdentures are used so that they attach to the dental implant, do not get slippage, and provide better functionality.
● Unlike the normal denture, which sits directly on the gums and sometimes moves and needs denture glue to keep them in the mouth all day, Overdenture sits on implants, doesn’t move when in function, and does not need glue.
● Overdentures can be made for either a completely edentulous arch or a partial set of teeth. These can then be removed like traditional dentures for cleaning and maintenance.
1. Increased Stability and Comfort: Overdentures attach to dental implants, which provide the required stability in moving about someone. These dentures will never move or slip while enjoying a meal, speaking, or laughing.
2. Chewing Ability Increased: The major reason implants are placed in the mouth is to have overdentures that allow chewing different food like natural teeth to greater extents and comfort.
3. Prevention from Bone Resorption: The jawbone continues to get stimulation from dental implants and thus prevents the resorption which normally occurs post-tooth loss. It helps to maintain the face’s structure as well as oral well-being.
4. Aesthetic Improvement: Overdentures are designed in a customized way to resemble the natural teeth of the individual. These provide a beautifully-formed smile that perfectly matches the rest of the facial features and returns them to their original condition.
5. Cheaper Than Full Implant Bridges: They are smaller, less invasive, and cheaper compared to a full set of fixed implants, making overdentures perfect for patients interested in long-lasting tooth replacement.
6. Easy To Clean With Maintenance: Simply remove them and clean and maintain overdentures for good oral hygiene and the longevity of your restoration.
Shan Dental offers high-quality overdentures designed to fit securely over existing teeth or implants, providing enhanced stability and comfort. These dentures help preserve jawbone health while restoring a natural-looking smile and improved chewing function.
1. Consultation & Assessment: Dr. Pathak will do a thorough evaluation of your mouth, including digital X-rays and 3D scans, in order to see if overdentures will deliver the result you want. These implants may be placed to support your overdenture if adequate jawbone density is available.
2. Implant Placement: If you are a candidate for dental implants, we will place the implants into your jawbone in a minimally invasive procedure under local anesthesia. This typically involves placing two or more implants to anchor your overdenture securely.
3. Healing & Osseointegration: After placing the implants, osseointegration begins: fusing them with your jawbone, something that typically takes a few months. During this time, a temporary set of dentures may be worn.
4. Custom Overdenture Fabrication: After those implants have completely fused with the bone, Dr. Pathak will take impressions of your mouth to create a custom overdenture that fits perfectly with your mouth’s shape and with your remaining teeth, if applicable.
5. Placement of Overdenture: Now that your custom-made overdenture is ready, we will go ahead and fix this firmly on to the implants. Though easily removed for cleaning and maintenance, the overdenture will stay firm in place during eating, speaking, and smiling.
Making good use of immediate dentures is very important for the comfort and longevity of the dentures. Here are some important tips:
1. Careful Hygiene: Brush up the denture since any food residue and plaque can soak into it. Soak it overnight in a denture-cleaning solution to keep it fresh.
2. Gum Care: Maintain oral-gum care despite reconciling wearing a denture, as gums and mouth will also develop irritation and possible infections. Rub your gums with moderate pressure to stimulate healing.
3. Adjustment Visits: As the months go on, your gums will definitely shrink as they heal. This can compromise the fit of your immediate dentures, but Dr. Pathak has the solution to make all the right adjustments for your perfect comfort.
You may be a candidate for overdentures if:
● You have lost multiple teeth or need a full set of teeth replaced.
● You have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone structure to support the implants. If you have experienced significant bone loss, bone grafting may be necessary to build up the bone before implant placement.
● You are looking for a more secure alternative to traditional dentures with the added benefits of implants.
● You want a removable option that is still highly stable and comfortable.
