Are you struggling with uncomfortable dentures or missing teeth? Implant overdentures offer a revolutionary solution that combines the stability of dental implants with the flexibility of dentures. At Schaumburg Dental Studio, we are proud to provide this life-changing treatment under the expert care of Dr. Bhumika Patel.

What Are Implant Overdentures?

Implant overdentures are a modern dental treatment designed for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums, implant overdentures are anchored securely in place using dental implants. This results in improved comfort, stability, and functionality.

How It Works

1. Dental Implants Placement: Titanium implants are placed in the jawbone to act as anchors.
2. Customized Overdentures: A set of dentures is created to snap or attach to the implants.
3. Long-Term Stability: The implants fuse with the jawbone, ensuring a secure and reliable foundation for the overdentures.

Benefits of Implant Overdentures

Implant overdentures offer numerous advantages over traditional dentures. Here are some of the key benefits:

1. Superior Stability- With dental implants as anchors, overdentures stay securely in place, eliminating the worry of slipping or shifting while speaking or eating.
2. Improved Chewing Ability- Implant-supported overdentures restore nearly full chewing function, allowing you to enjoy a wider range of foods and improve overall nutrition.
3. Enhanced Comfort- The secure fit reduces irritation to the gums and eliminates the need for adhesives.
4. Prevention of Bone Loss- Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone resorption (bone loss) that typically occurs with missing teeth.
5. Natural Appearance- Custom-made overdentures are designed to look natural, enhancing your smile and boosting your confidence.

Are You a Candidate for Implant Overdentures?

If you are missing most or all of your teeth and are seeking a secure alternative to traditional dentures, you may be an excellent candidate for implant overdentures. Ideal candidates typically:

• Have sufficient jawbone density to support dental implants.
• Are in good overall health for minor surgical procedures.
• Are dissatisfied with their current dentures.

At Schaumburg Dental Studio, Dr. Bhumika Patel will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if implant overdentures are the right solution for you.

The Implant Overdenture Process

1. Consultation and Planning- During your initial consultation, Dr. Patel will discuss your goals, evaluate your oral health, and take advanced imaging to create a customized treatment plan.
2. Dental Implant Placement- Titanium implants are carefully placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation for comfort. Healing time typically ranges from 3 to 6 months as the implants integrate with the bone.
3. Attaching the Overdentures- Once the implants have fused with the jawbone, a custom-designed set of overdentures is securely attached to the implants.
4. Follow-Up and Care- Dr. Patel will provide guidance on caring for your new overdentures, ensuring their longevity and your oral health.

Caring for Your Implant Overdentures

Proper care will ensure that your implant overdentures remain comfortable and functional for years to come:

• Brush and clean your dentures daily to remove plaque and debris.
• Visit Dr. Patel regularly for checkups and professional cleanings.
• Avoid chewing hard objects to prevent damage.

With the right care, implant overdentures can last for many years, improving your quality of life and restoring confidence in your smile.
