What Are Overdentures?

A Stable, Removable Solution for Complete Tooth Replacement

Overdentures are a type of full denture that fits securely over dental implants or remaining natural teeth, providing improved stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures. At Fortson Dentistry, we create custom overdentures that restore your smile’s appearance and function, making it easier to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Unlike conventional dentures, which rely solely on suction or adhesive for support, implant-supported overdentures snap into place, reducing slipping and discomfort. Whether you’ve worn dentures before or are new to full-mouth tooth replacement, overdentures offer a secure, modern alternative.

Why Do I Need Overdentures?

Secure Tooth Replacement When Traditional Dentures Fall Short

If you struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures, overdentures can restore your ability to enjoy life without worry. Many patients find that traditional dentures slip during eating or talking, causing frustration and embarrassment. Overdentures solve this by anchoring securely to implants or prepared teeth, providing stability that feels natural.

Additionally, overdentures help preserve jawbone health. When supported by implants, they stimulate the jawbone and prevent the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss. For patients missing most or all of their teeth, overdentures provide a life-changing improvement in comfort, health, and confidence.

Overdentures FAQs for Fortson Dentistry in Lathrup MI

What are overdentures and how do they work?

Overdentures are removable dentures that fit over remaining natural teeth or dental implants for enhanced stability and function. At Fortson Dentistry in Lathrup MI, we offer implant-supported overdentures and tooth-supported overdentures to provide a more secure and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures.

What are the benefits of overdentures?

More Stability – Less slipping and movement compared to traditional dentures.
‍Improved Chewing and Speaking – Provides better function for eating and speaking.
‍Bone Preservation – Implant-supported overdentures help prevent jawbone loss.
‍Comfortable Fit – Designed to fit securely over existing teeth or implants.
‍Natural Appearance – Custom-designed for a natural-looking smile.

How do overdentures differ from traditional dentures?

Traditional dentures rest directly on the gums, while overdentures are secured over existing teeth or dental implants for better stability and function. Implant-supported overdentures provide superior retention, eliminating the need for denture adhesives.

What is the difference between implant-supported and tooth-supported overdentures?

Implant-Supported Overdentures – Use dental implants to secure the overdenture, preventing bone loss and improving stability.

‍Tooth-Supported Overdentures – Rely on remaining natural teeth for support, helping to maintain bone structure and provide a secure fit.
