Overdentures in South Bend

What Are Overdentures?

Overdentures are removable dentures that fit securely over a small number of natural teeth, dental implants, or roots that have been preserved. Unlike traditional dentures that simply rest on the gums, overdentures are anchored for added support, making them feel more natural and reliable.

Depending on your needs, overdentures can be supported by:

• Dental Implants (Implant-Supported Overdentures)
• Remaining Natural Teeth (Tooth-Supported Overdentures)

Both options help provide better stability, chewing strength, and bone preservation compared to traditional dentures.

Benefits of Overdentures

Choosing overdentures comes with a variety of advantages, including:

• Improved Stability
• Greater Comfort
• Stronger Chewing Power
• Bone Preservation
• Better Aesthetics
• Enhanced Confidence

Are Overdentures Right for You?

You may be a great candidate for overdentures if you:

• Are missing most or all your teeth
• Have sufficient jawbone for implant placement (or are open to bone grafting if needed)
• Want greater stability than traditional dentures offer
• Are looking for a removable option that feels more secure and natural
• Want to preserve your jawbone and facial structures
