Dentures are often worn by adults over the age of 40, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. More than 36 million people in the United States are edentulous. Dentures are worn by 90% of patients who are missing teeth. However, people frequently complain about dentures slipping or loosening during speech, laughter, and other activities. As time passes, bone resorption in the lower jaw increases, causing denture loosening. Overdentures are consistently successful in overcoming these obstacles.

Overdentures are dentures that are supported by implants, which eliminates the need to worry about dentures sliding around and improves the quality of life by acting like real teeth. Fixed or removable overdentures are available. It has also been shown to offer additional advantages, such as reducing bone loss and assisting with dietary requirements. Fixed implant-supported, removable implant-supported, partial overdenture, bar-retained implant-supported, and ball-retained implant overdentures are the various types available. The overdenture is held in place with the help of attachments on implants.

Most patients prefer this type of removable implant-supported denture since it has been shown to improve masticatory scores and give the appearance of "natural teeth." It's a fantastic long-term investment in your overall wellness. You can eat, laugh, and practise hygiene procedures without worrying about denture loosening or slipping.

According to a study, those who wear overdentures had less trouble chewing food than those who wear conventional complete dentures.

Last but not least, proper oral hygiene and denture maintenance are essential for long-term success in retaining the feel of enjoying the natural dentition.
