Implant Overdentures: “It’s a SNAP!” at Stafford Smiles

At Stafford Smiles, we believe a confident smile is vital to your overall well-being. That’s why we offer overdentures over dental implants—a reliable solution for those seeking improved stability, comfort, and functionality in their dental restoration.

What Are Overdentures?

Overdentures are removable dental appliances supported by dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures that rest solely on the gums, overdentures are anchored in place by implants, providing enhanced stability and comfort. This innovative solution allows for a more secure fit, making everyday activities like eating and speaking easier and more enjoyable.

Before & After

Imagine transforming your smile and regaining your confidence! At Stafford Smiles, we specialize in implant overdentures that not only enhance your appearance but also improve your quality of life.

Benefits of Overdentures Over Dental Implants

1. Increased Stability: Overdentures are firmly anchored by dental implants, reducing movement and discomfort often associated with traditional dentures.
2. Improved Functionality: With enhanced stability, you can eat a wider variety of foods without fear of your dentures slipping. Traditional dentures provide only 20% of the chewing ability of natural teeth, while overdentures can increase that to 50%.
3. Natural Appearance: Overdentures are designed to mimic the look of natural teeth, giving you a beautiful smile that boosts your confidence.
4. Bone Preservation: Dental implants help preserve jawbone density, preventing the sunken facial appearance that can occur with tooth loss.
5. Easier Maintenance: Overdentures can be easily removed for cleaning, allowing for better oral hygiene.

The Overdenture Process at Stafford Smiles

1. Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Stafford Smiles. Dr. Rivera will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if overdentures are the right solution for you.

2. Treatment Planning

Once we establish your candidacy for overdentures, we will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs, including the number of implants required and the timeline for your procedure.

3. Implant Placement

In a comfortable and safe environment, our team will place the dental implants in your jawbone. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort.

4. Overdenture Fitting

After the implants have healed and integrated with your bone, we will create your custom overdenture. We will ensure it fits perfectly and matches your natural smile.

5. Follow-Up Care
