Implant Assisted Overdentures

Do you struggle with slipping dentures or bone loss from missing teeth? Dr. Parisa Shahi and her team offer innovative solutions with implant assisted overdentures.

This hybrid treatment modality combines the security and stability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures. Learn about your suitability for treatment and the advantages of this unique restorative approach to tooth loss.

What are Implant Overdentures?

Implant assisted overdentures are specialized prostheses that are retained by dental implants. The implants placed will help assist in retention of our patient’s removable prosthesis and significantly improve stability of dentures and partials.

Eliminate slipping
Bone preservation
Easy to maintain

Traditional dentures sit on top of the gums and rely on adhesives for stability. If you currently use dentures, you will know that slipping and discomfort are common problems. The traditional approach can restore some functional ability (biting, chewing, and speaking) and provide a fair aesthetic restoration. Implant assisted overdentures restore function closer to that of native teeth.

What are the Benefits of Implant Overdentures ?

If you are tired of traditional dentures, the upkeep, and the functional problems, you might have searched for “implant overdentures near me.” Offered by leading specialists, including the best prosthodontists in San Mateo, the combination of implants and overdentures creates lasting benefits.

Eliminate slipping with a secure fit that makes eating, speaking, smiling, and laughing more comfortable. You will enjoy more confidence.
Bone preservation is a significant benefit of every implant-based treatment. Dental implants stimulate the jaw to preserve and generate new tissue, limiting further degradation and changes in facial structure.
With no gum irritation or pressure points, choosing implant overdentures ensures lasting comfort.
Overdentures are easy to maintain and can be removed nightly for thorough cleaning.

Whether you need a complete arch replacement or partial support, implant assisted overdentures are a life-changing upgrade compared to traditional denture options.

Commonly Asked Questions: Learn More About Implant Assisted Overdentures

Are Implant Overdentures Removable? Yes, like traditional dentures, you can remove overdentures for cleaning. The difference is that implant overdentures are more stable thanks to the implants and attachment systems.

Can I Eat a Regular Diet with Overdentures? One of the challenges of traditional dentures is adapting your diet. Dentures that sit on the gums cause you to lose a significant amount of biting and chewing force. Overdentures restore much, but not all, of your natural biting and chewing abilities. You can eat most foods within a balanced diet. We provide specific dietary instructions during your consultation and after surgery/healing.

How Long Does the Entire Process Take? The average time for the treatment is between four and eight months, depending on the healing time. We will place temporary dentures during the healing stage so you will be comfortable and able to eat softer foods before getting your final prosthesis fitted.

Are Overdentures the Same as All-on-4 and All-on-6? While there are similarities between AO4/AO6 and implant assisted overdentures, there is a unique distinction. Overdentures are removable and are an innovation over traditional dentures. AO4/AO6 prostheses are permanently affixed to dental implants. During your consultation, we will explore all suitable treatment options to ensure the treatment plan suits your unique needs.
