Implants for Overdentures Kelowna

Implants for overdentures is a popular option for patients who have lost many or all of their natural teeth and are looking for a secure and comfortable solution.

What are Implants for Overdentures?

Implants for overdentures are dental implants that provide support for removable dentures. They are designed to secure the denture in place, making it more stable and reducing the risk of slipping and shifting.

Why a Prosthodontist is Best Suited for This Procedure

A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the reconstruction and replacement of missing or damaged teeth. Prosthodontists receive advanced training in the placement of dental implants, including implants for overdentures, and are best suited to perform this procedure.

Benefits of Implants for Overdentures

Improved stability: With implants for overdentures, the denture is secured to the implants, providing a more stable fit and reducing the risk of slipping or shifting.
Enhanced comfort: The implants distribute the force of chewing evenly across the jawbone, reducing pressure on sensitive areas and providing a more comfortable fit.
Increased chewing power: The implants also allow patients to bite and chew with more force, enabling them to enjoy a wider range of foods.
Long-lasting solution: Implants for overdentures are a long-term solution for patients who have lost many or all of their natural teeth. The implants can last for many years with proper care.
Improved oral health: The implants help to prevent bone loss and maintain the shape of the jaw, preserving the patient’s facial structure and promoting overall oral health.

How Implants for Overdentures are Placed

The placement of implants for overdentures typically requires several steps, including:

Consultation: Patients will meet with their prosthodontist to discuss their options and determine if implants for overdentures are the right choice.
Implant placement: The prosthodontist will place the implants into the jawbone. This process typically requires a minor surgical procedure and a period of healing.
Attachment of denture: Once the implants have healed and integrated with the jawbone, the denture will be attached to the implants, providing a secure and stable fit.
Follow-up care: Patients will need to follow a regular schedule of dental check-ups and cleanings to ensure the long-term success of their implants.
