here are some of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Better Stability and Retention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest benefits of implant overdentures is their better stability and retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Unlike traditional dentures that can slip or move, implant overdentures are anchored to the dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> This means the dentures stay fixed in place, a more secure and comfortable fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> A study showed that 96% of patients with implant-supported overdentures reported better retention and stability than those with traditional dentures (1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> This increased stability gives the patient more confidence and comfort, especially when speaking or eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aesthetics and Functionality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Implant overdentures feel more secure and look more natural. Because they are attached to the implants, there is less need for bulky denture bases that can change the facial appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means a more natural-looking smile and facial structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> According to clinical research, patients with implant-supported overdentures had 35% higher satisfaction with their appearance than those with traditional dentures (2). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, the improved function of implant overdentures allows for more natural chewing and speaking, overall better quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/excelentis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/e19712b6-73a0-4604-bb9e-9b1fb93995df-jpeg.webp\" alt=\"3D plan of dental implant overdenture\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:contain\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Better Nutrition and Oral Health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another advantage of implant overdentures is their positive effect on nutrition and oral health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional dentures can make it hard to chew certain foods, which can lead to a restricted diet and nutritional deficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implant overdentures provide a more stable biting force, allowing patients to chew a wider variety of foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies show that patients with implant-supported overdentures can chew 85% of all food types compared to 60% with traditional dentures (3). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, implant overdentures help preserve the jawbone and prevent bone loss that often occurs with traditional dentures for long-term oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implant Procedure Options for Overdentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of getting implant overdentures involves several steps, each of which is crucial to achieving a successful outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Here\u2019s what to expect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implant Placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in implant therapy is the placement of the dental implants into the jawbone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is done under local anaesthesia for patient comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the procedure, titanium implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research shows that the success rate of dental implant placement is 95% over a 10-year period (6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This high success rate makes implants a solid foundation for overdentures for long-term stability and function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/excelentis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/718225bd-9b59-4fd1-b92c-1de00ac9cde6-jpeg.webp\" alt=\"How is a dental implant overdenture placement\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:contain\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Abutment Placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the implants have integrated with the jawbone\u2014a process called osseointegration that can take several months\u2014the next step is to attach abutments to the implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> These abutments acts as connectors between the implants and the overdentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Research shows that 90% of implant-supported overdentures with abutments remain stable and functional after 5 years (5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> This step is crucial for a secure fit of the overdentures, for comfort and usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impressions and Fitting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The last step is to take impressions of the patient\u2019s mouth to create a custom-fit overdenture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> This ensures the dentures fit snugly over the implants and abutments for optimal comfort and aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> A well-fitting overdenture distributes the biting forces evenly across the implants, reducing the risk of discomfort and implant failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Clinical data shows that patients with well-fitted overdentures report 30% more overall satisfaction than those with ill-fitted ones (4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"

title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who can wear Implant Overdentures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Implant overdentures can be an option for many patients but certain factors determines its suitability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing who is an ideal candidate can help in making informed decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ideal Candidates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideal candidates for implant overdentures are those who have sufficient jawbone density to support the implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who are missing most or all of their teeth and are having loose or uncomfortable traditional dentures may also benefit from an implant supported overdenture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research shows that over 70% of patients with sufficient bone volume and good oral health are candidates for implant-supported overdentures (1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients should also be in good general health and free from conditions that may impede healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or certain autoimmune disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bone Loss and Grafting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw may still be candidates for implant overdentures but they may need additional procedures such as bone grafting to build up the jawbone before implants can be placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bone grafting has a success rate of 85% for providing a stable foundation for implants (2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This involves using bone from another part of the body or a synthetic substitute to increase bone volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clinical data shows that patients who had successful bone grafting before implant placement have the same success rate as those with natural bone (6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"
