Overdenture Dental Implants at Gerringong Dental

Welcome to Gerringong Dental, your trusted local dental practice in the heart of Gerringong. If you’re missing teeth and are looking for a durable, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing solution, our overdenture dental implants treatment could be the perfect fit. Our experienced team is dedicated to helping you regain both the function and beauty of your smile, providing you with the highest standard of care throughout your journey.

What Are Overdenture Dental Implants?

Overdenture dental implants are an innovative solution for those who have lost multiple or all of their natural teeth. An overdenture is a removable dental prosthesis that is supported by implants placed directly into your jawbone. This system offers a more secure and stable alternative to traditional dentures, providing improved comfort, functionality, and aesthetic results.
At Gerringong Dental, we specialize in custom overdenture implants that help restore not only your smile but also your confidence and oral health. Our goal is to provide you with a long-term solution that outperforms conventional dentures.

Why Opt for Overdenture Implants?

There are many reasons why overdenture implants are an excellent choice for those looking to replace missing teeth:

Better Stability

Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, overdentures are securely attached to implants placed in your jawbone. This provides a more stable foundation, preventing slippage and ensuring your prosthesis stays firmly in place.

Enhanced Functionality

Overdentures allow you to speak, chew, and smile naturally, with confidence. Because they are anchored in place, there is no need to worry about dentures slipping or causing discomfort during everyday activities.

Preserves Jawbone Health

One of the key advantages of dental implants is their ability to help preserve the bone structure of your jaw. Traditional dentures do not stimulate the jawbone, which can lead to bone loss over time. Dental implants, however, integrate with your jawbone, helping to maintain its density and integrity.

Natural-Looking Results

Overdentures are designed to look and feel just like your natural teeth, offering a seamless aesthetic. At Gerringong Dental, we work closely with you to ensure your overdenture blends perfectly with your existing teeth, providing a natural, attractive smile.

Long-Lasting Durability

With proper care, dental implants and overdentures can last for many years, making them a more cost-effective solution in the long run when compared to traditional dentures that may need frequent adjustments or replacements.

Improved Comfort and Confidence

Overdentures are securely attached to implants, providing more comfort than conventional removable dentures. You can enjoy a more confident, active lifestyle without worrying about your dentures shifting or causing discomfort.

How Does the Overdenture Implant Procedure Work?

The process of receiving overdenture implants typically involves multiple stages, and the treatment plan may vary depending on your specific needs. Here is a general overview of the steps involved:

1. Initial Consultation

Your journey starts with a thorough consultation at Gerringong Dental. During this visit, we’ll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if overdenture implants are the right option for you. We’ll also take digital X-rays or 3D scans to evaluate the health of your jawbone and ensure there is enough bone volume for the implants.

2. Surgical Placement of Implants

Once we’ve confirmed that you’re a suitable candidate, the next step is to place the implants. This surgical procedure involves inserting small titanium posts into the jawbone, which will act as the foundation for your overdenture. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout.

3. Healing and Integration

After the implants are placed, they need time to fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This can take several months, but it is crucial for the stability and long-term success of the implants. During this healing period, you may be provided with a temporary prosthesis.

4. Fitting the Overdenture

Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, we will attach your custom-made overdenture. This prosthesis is designed to fit securely and comfortably on your implants, providing a natural appearance and improved function. You will be able to eat, speak, and smile confidently again.

4. Ongoing Care and Maintenance

After your overdenture is placed, we’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure everything is healing well. You will also receive personalized instructions on how to care for your new implants and overdenture to maintain their longevity and performance.
