Overdentures for a Secure and Comfortable Smile at Restoration Dental

At Restoration Dental in San Antonio, we offer advanced overdentures as a secure, reliable option for patients seeking to replace multiple missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, overdentures are supported by dental implants, providing a more stable, long-lasting solution for tooth loss. Led by Dr. Kye Mallernee, our experienced team ensures you receive personalized care that restores both function and aesthetics to your smile.

What Are Overdentures?

Overdentures are a type of removable denture that is securely anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This combination offers a more comfortable and stable fit compared to conventional dentures, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak clearly without the worry of dentures shifting or slipping.

If you’re looking for a more secure solution for missing teeth, overdentures could be the perfect fit. Visit our Dental Implants page to learn more about the implant process that supports overdentures.

Overdentures offer several distinct benefits over traditional dentures, making them a preferred option for many patients:

• Enhanced Stability: Secured by implants, overdentures provide a more stable and comfortable fit, eliminating the need for adhesives.
• Improved Oral Health: By preserving the jawbone, implants help prevent bone loss and the sunken facial appearance often associated with missing teeth.
• Secure Fit Dentures: Overdentures offer a superior fit compared to traditional dentures, giving you confidence in your smile and bite.
• Increased Comfort: The support provided by dental implants reduces pressure on the gums, making overdentures more comfortable to wear.

At Restoration Dental, we make the process of receiving overdentures as smooth and comfortable as possible. The treatment is typically completed in several phases:

1. Consultation and Planning
   Dr. Mallernee will evaluate your oral health and determine if you are a candidate for overdentures. We will take detailed digital images and scans to create a customized treatment plan for you.
2. Implant Placement
   Once the treatment plan is set, dental implants will be placed in the jaw to anchor the overdenture. The number of implants will depend on your unique needs.
3. Healing and Osseointegration
   After the implants are placed, a healing period is necessary to allow the implants to integrate with the jawbone. During this time, you may wear a temporary denture.
4. Fitting the Overdenture
   Once your implants are fully healed, Dr. Mallernee will attach your custom-made overdenture, providing you with a secure, natural-looking smile.
