Implant-Supported Dentures
What are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are a revolutionary dental restoration option that combines the stability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures. Unlike traditional dentures that can slip or require messy adhesives, implant-supported dentures are securely anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. This creates a strong, stable foundation that mimics the feel and function of natural teeth, offering a long-lasting and comfortable solution for those with missing teeth.

Final Fitting and Follow-Up
- Adjustments and Final Fitment: Your implant-supported dentures will be securely attached, and any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure optimal comfort and function.

If you have any questions about Implant Overdenture, we’ve got answers.
Typically, two to four implants are used for a lower overdenture and four to six for an upper overdenture.
While not exactly like natural teeth, they provide significantly improved comfort and function compared to traditional dentures.
Proper care and maintenance of your implant-supported dentures are crucial to ensure their longevity and performance. Here are some essential steps to keep your dentures and implants in optimal condition:
Daily Cleaning Routine
- Brushing: Just like natural teeth, implant-supported dentures require regular brushing. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to gently clean your dentures and the gum area around the implants. This helps to remove plaque and prevent gum disease.
- Rinsing: Rinse your mouth with an antibacterial mouthwash to maintain oral hygiene and reduce the risk of infection. It’s also recommended to rinse your dentures after meals to remove any food particles.
Professional Care
- Regular Dental Check-Ups: Schedule regular check-ups with our skilled team at Gardena Dental Group. Professional cleanings and examinations are vital for monitoring the health of your gums, dentures, and implants. Our team can also address any issues early on, ensuring your dental health is maintained.
- Maintenance Appointments: Periodic maintenance appointments help in adjusting the fit of your dentures, ensuring they remain comfortable and functional. These visits allow us to check the integrity of the implants and abutments as well.
Additional Tips
- Avoid Hard Foods: While implant-supported dentures offer enhanced chewing ability, it’s best to avoid extremely hard or sticky foods that can damage your dentures or implants.
- Quit Smoking: Tobacco use can negatively impact the healing process of dental implants and overall oral health. If you smoke, consider quitting to improve the longevity and success of your implants.
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene Habits: Continue to practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing around your implants, and using a water flosser to clean hard-to-reach areas.
By following these care guidelines, you can enjoy the benefits of your implant-supported dentures for many years to come. Should you have any questions or concerns about your dentures, our experienced team at Gardena Dental Group is always here to help.
