Implant Supported Overdentures – Greater Steele Creek and Fort Mill Communities

An Implant Supported Overdenture is a type of denture restoration that has revolutionized the way surgeons and dentists think of replacing a full set of teeth. Standard dentures are unsecured prostheses that are often painful and unstable that make talking and chewing extremely difficult.

The Implant Supported Overdenture treatment concept replaces your missing teeth with dentures that are supported by dental implants. Fewer implants are needed and overall treatment time and cost is reduced. An Implant Supported Overdenture solution also ensures greater stability in the bone, reducing the need for bone graft surgery to increase bone volume. These overdentures stay connected with attachment methods that significantly increase denture retention and stability.

Implant Supported Overdentures offer you many advantages:

● Cost effective solution: When compared to some other implant supported restoration methods, your new replacement teeth require fewer implants for each jaw. With fewer implants required, the cost is lowered.
● Reduced bone grafting: The special angled placement of two of the implants ensures a secure and stable anchorage for the replaced arch, often making bone grafting unnecessary.
● Documented success: Years of research has shown that normal dentures have low stability of 15% compared to natural teeth. By adding two implants for an overdenture, there is a significant increase in chewing efficiency up to 60% making this treatment option easy and effective.
