A denture with extra support
An overdenture clips onto implants in your jaw. You take it out to clean it. The implants help hold it more firmly than a denture that rests on the gums alone.
Planning and healing
We check your bone and health to see if implants suit you. The number of implants and type of clips depend on your mouth. Surgery and healing come before the final fitting. Ask what you can wear while you heal.
Daily care and future costs
Clean the denture, clips, and gums as shown by your dental team. Clips can wear and may need replacement. Sore spots or a loose fit need a check.
Implants add cost and surgical risks, including infection or failure to heal. A regular denture may be another choice. A fixed set of teeth has different cleaning needs.
Common questions
Does it stay in overnight?
Follow your dentist’s advice about when to remove it. You will need time to clean both the denture and your mouth.
Will it feel like natural teeth?
It may feel more secure, but getting used to it takes time. Fit and comfort vary.
This is general information. An exam helps us find the right care for you.
