Traditional full dentures (palate replacements), which are used when you lose all your teeth, may require an adjustment period in the first few days and can cause difficulties in use due to the possibility of movement. Prof. Dr. Alper Çağlar explains the details of implant-supported overdenture treatment, which is the most comfortable and reliable solution to this situation.
What is Overdenture (Implant-Supported Denture)?
If the movement of your traditional full denture in your mouth bothers you, overdenture is an ideal option for you. In this system, a minimum of 2 dental implants are placed in the lower jaw and a minimum of 4 in the upper jaw. Thanks to the retainers placed inside the prosthesis and implants, the prosthesis absolutely does not move during function.
What are the Advantages of Implant-Supported Overdenture?
- Complete Stability: The prosthesis does not move or come out of place during speech and chewing.
- High Chewing Power: Chewing capacity and comfort are significantly increased compared to traditional prostheses.
- Self-Confidence and Aesthetics: Speech clarity increases. It also slows down jawbone resorption, preserving facial features.
- Practical Hygiene: Thanks to its easily removable structure, oral and prosthesis cleaning is extremely practical.
- High Satisfaction: Compared to traditional full dentures, it significantly improves patients’ quality of life and treatment satisfaction.
