The Best of Both Worlds: Removable Comfort with Implant Security Overdentures, also known as snap-in or magnetic dentures, revolutionise traditional denture treatment by combining the convenience of removable teeth with the stability of dental implants. Using 2-4 strategically placed implants as anchors, your dentures snap securely into place without messy adhesives or the worry of slipping. This innovative solution is perfect for those who want more security than traditional dentures offer, whilst maintaining the ability to remove them for cleaning and comfort.
A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth Our overdenture treatment provides the ideal balance between affordability and stability. The supporting implants stimulate your jawbone, preventing the bone loss associated with traditional dentures, whilst the custom-crafted denture provides a natural-looking smile. Though the process takes 7-8 months to complete, including healing time, you’ll have temporary teeth throughout, ensuring you’re never without a functional smile. With proper care, overdentures can last over 20 years, making them a worthwhile investment in your oral health and confidence.
Overdentures bridge the gap between traditional dentures and fixed implants, offering removable convenience with the security and health benefits of implant support.
Overdentures attach to 2-4 dental implants using special clips or magnets, eliminating the need for adhesives. They're more stable, won't slip whilst eating or speaking, and help preserve your jawbone. Regular dentures simply rest on your gums and require adhesive for security.
The implant placement is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won't feel pain during the procedure. Afterwards, expect some swelling and discomfort for 2-5 days, easily managed with prescribed painkillers. Most patients report less discomfort than expected.
Yes! Many patients successfully transition from traditional dentures to overdentures. We'll assess your bone density during consultation. Even if you've worn dentures for years, you're likely suitable for overdentures, though bone grafting might be needed in some cases.
Remove and clean your overdentures nightly, just like regular dentures. Additionally, clean around the implant attachments with a soft brush. The implants themselves require the same care as natural teeth – regular brushing and dental checkups every 6 months.
For most patients, yes. The improved quality of life – eating without worry, speaking clearly, and preserving bone health – justifies the investment. Overdentures typically last much longer than regular dentures and require fewer adjustments, making them more economical long-term.
