Overdenture Solutions at Dental Blush
What is an Overdenture?
An overdenture is a type of removable dental appliance that fits over natural teeth, dental implants, or retained tooth roots. It provides a stable, comfortable solution for individuals who have lost several or all of their teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, overdentures are supported by underlying structures, giving them a more secure fit and improving function. At Dental Blush, we offer custom overdentures designed to restore your smile and enhance your quality of life.
Why Choose Overdentures?
- Enhanced Stability: Overdentures stay securely in place, reducing movement during chewing or speaking.
- Improved Comfort: They rest on existing structures or implants, which distribute pressure evenly and reduce gum irritation.
- Natural Appearance: Overdentures are designed to look like natural teeth, improving your smile and boosting your confidence.
- Bone Preservation: Implant-supported overdentures stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that occurs with traditional dentures.
Types of Overdentures We Offer
- Implant-Supported Overdentures: These overdentures attach to dental implants, providing superior stability and comfort. They are an excellent option for those seeking a secure, natural-feeling solution.
- Tooth-Supported Overdentures: If you have remaining natural teeth, they can serve as anchors for your overdenture. This type of overdenture offers added support while preserving the health of your natural teeth and jawbone.
- Complete Overdentures: For patients missing all teeth, complete overdentures can be anchored by implants or placed over the gums for a functional and aesthetic replacement.
Benefits of Overdentures
- Improved Function: Overdentures make it easier to chew, speak, and enjoy daily activities without discomfort or worry.
- Custom Fit: Designed specifically for your mouth, overdentures provide a precise and secure fit.
- Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, overdentures are durable and provide lasting benefits.
- Enhanced Oral Health: By preserving existing teeth or using implants, overdentures promote overall oral health.
The Overdenture Process at Dental Blush
- Consultation and Assessment: During your initial visit, we evaluate your oral health and determine whether overdentures are the right choice for you. This includes examining the condition of your gums, bone structure, and any remaining teeth or implants.
- Treatment Planning: A personalized treatment plan is created based on your needs. We’ll discuss your options, whether you require tooth-supported or implant-supported overdentures, and explain the process in detail.
- Preparation: If implants are needed, they will be surgically placed into the jawbone. For tooth-supported overdentures, existing teeth may be reshaped or treated to act as anchors.
- Denture Fabrication: Impressions of your mouth are taken to create a custom overdenture that fits perfectly and matches your natural smile.
- Fitting and Adjustments: Once your overdenture is ready, we’ll ensure it fits comfortably and make any necessary adjustments. Follow-up visits may be scheduled to optimize fit and function.
Caring for Your Overdentures
- Daily Cleaning: Remove your overdenture and clean it thoroughly with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner.
- Oral Hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth.
- Regular Check-Ups: Visit Dental Blush for routine dental exams to ensure your overdentures remain in excellent condition.
- Proper Storage: When not in use, store your overdenture in water or a denture solution to keep it from drying out.
