Benefits Of Implant Supported Denture
- Increased Stability and Retention: The biggest benefit is the increased stability. Compared to standard dentures, overdentures are far less likely to slide or shift in the mouth.
- Preservation of Bone: Overdentures assist stimulate the jawbone by keeping some natural teeth or implants, which reduces the amount of bone loss that usually follows tooth extraction.
- Improved Comfort: The wearer is frequently more comfortable as a result of the additional stability and support. Compared to traditional dentures, overdentures are less likely to cause irritation and sore places.
- Better Chewing Efficiency: You may chew food more efficiently with a more stable and secure denture, which improves digestion and nutrient absorption.
- Improved Aesthetics: Compared to standard dentures, overdentures can produce a grin that seems more natural. They can be made to look a lot like real teeth, boosting confidence and self-worth.
Oral Care for Overdentures
- Daily Cleaning: Using a denture brush and denture cleaning, the overdenture should be taken out and cleaned every day.
- Cleaning Supporting Teeth/Implants: If you still have natural teeth that support the overdenture, they need to be thoroughly cleaned with a toothbrush and floss. Additionally, certain cleaning methods are needed for implants.
- Frequent Check-ups: Seeing Dr. Sheikh on a regular basis is essential for keeping an eye on the overdenture’s fit and stability, evaluating the condition of the implants or supporting teeth, and resolving any possible problems early on.
