At Tayfun Civak Dental Clinic, we offer Overdenture Services to provide a stable and comfortable solution for patients with missing teeth. An overdenture is a type of removable denture that is supported and retained by dental implants or natural teeth, offering enhanced stability and improved functionality compared to traditional dentures.

What is an Overdenture?

An overdenture is a prosthetic device that fits over a set of remaining natural teeth or dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest directly on the gums, overdentures are designed to be supported by the underlying dental implants or existing teeth, providing a more secure and comfortable fit. This type of denture helps to preserve the jawbone and improve the overall function of the prosthesis.

The Overdenture Process

1. Initial Consultation: During your consultation, our dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your dental needs, and determine if an overdenture is suitable for you. We will review your medical history and conduct a thorough examination, which may include X-rays or 3D imaging.

2. Implant Placement (if needed): If dental implants are required to support the overdenture, a surgical procedure will be performed to place the implants into the jawbone. The number and placement of implants will be determined based on your individual needs.

3. Healing and Integration: After implant placement, a healing period is necessary for the implants to integrate with the bone. This process, known as osseointegration, ensures that the implants provide a stable foundation for the overdenture.

4. Denture Fabrication: Once the implants have integrated with the bone, impressions of your mouth will be taken to create a custom overdenture. The overdenture is designed to fit comfortably over the implants or natural teeth, providing a secure and natural-looking result.

5. Fitting and Adjustments: The custom overdenture will be fitted and adjusted to ensure proper alignment, comfort, and function. We will make any necessary modifications to achieve the best possible fit and bite.

6. Final Adjustments and Care: After the overdenture is placed, we will provide instructions on how to care for it and maintain good oral hygiene. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor the fit and function of the overdenture and address any concerns.

Benefits of Overdentures

• Enhanced Stability: Overdentures are supported by dental implants or natural teeth, providing a more stable and secure fit compared to traditional dentures.

• Improved Function: The increased stability of overdentures allows for better chewing and speaking function, improving overall oral comfort and functionality.

• Bone Preservation: Dental implants used in overdentures help preserve the jawbone and prevent bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.

• Comfortable Fit: Overdentures are designed to fit comfortably over the underlying implants or natural teeth, reducing the potential for irritation and discomfort.

• Aesthetic Improvement: Overdentures provide a natural-looking smile and help restore the appearance of your teeth, enhancing your overall confidence.
