Overdentures are a type of removable dental prosthesis that combines the benefits of traditional dentures with the stability of dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and rely on adhesive or suction, overdentures are securely anchored to dental implants. The dental implants act as anchors, providing a stable foundation for the overdenture, which can be easily snapped on and off for cleaning and maintenance.

The process of getting overdentures typically involves several steps. First, our skilled dental team at Ines Orta, DDS, will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for overdentures. If you have sufficient bone density and good oral health, dental implants will be strategically placed in your jawbone. These implants will serve as the attachment points for your overdenture. Once the implants have fused with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, the customized overdenture will be fabricated to fit securely and comfortably over the implants.
