Implant Overdentures in Fairfield, CT
A Secure Upgrade From Traditional Dentures
If you want more stability than traditional dentures but still prefer the convenience of a removable option, implant overdentures may be the perfect choice. These dentures attach to dental implants for a snug, secure fit — meaning no slipping, shifting, or messy adhesives.
At the Center for Aesthetic & Comprehensive Dentistry, Dr. Joseph Owen designs custom overdentures that improve chewing ability, enhance comfort, and provide a natural look.
How Implant Overdentures Work
- Implant Placement – Several dental implants are placed into the jawbone.
- Healing & Integration – Over time, the implants fuse with your bone to create a stable base.
- Custom Overdenture Design – Your denture is crafted to attach securely to the implants.
- Attachment System – The denture snaps onto the implants for a tight fit and can be removed for daily cleaning.
Benefits of Implant Overdentures
- Secure fit with no slipping during eating or speaking
- Easy to remove for thorough cleaning
- Reduced pressure on gums compared to traditional dentures
- Helps preserve jawbone by stimulating bone tissue
- Improves facial support for a more youthful appearance
