Overdentures
What Are Overdentures?
Overdentures are a type of removable denture that is designed to fit securely over dental implants or natural teeth, providing a more stable and comfortable solution for tooth replacement. At Alfonso Dental Miami, located in the Flagler Street area of Miami, FL, we offer customized overdentures that enhance the functionality and aesthetics of your smile. Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip and cause discomfort, overdentures are anchored by implants or remaining tooth structures, ensuring a snug fit and improved chewing ability.
Why Choose Overdentures?
Overdentures offer several advantages over conventional dentures, making them an excellent choice for patients seeking a more secure and durable solution. The stability provided by the implants or natural teeth helps to prevent the common issues associated with traditional dentures, such as slipping, irritation, and difficulty speaking or eating. Overdentures also help preserve the jawbone by stimulating it through the implants, which can prevent the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss. Additionally, overdentures are designed to be more comfortable, as they distribute pressure more evenly across the gums and jaw, reducing sore spots and enhancing overall comfort.
The Overdenture Process at Alfonso Dental Miami
The process of getting overdentures at Alfonso Dental Miami begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Jossue Alfonso. During this consultation, we will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine whether overdentures are the right option for you. If dental implants are needed, they will be placed in the jawbone to act as anchors for the overdentures. Once the implants have healed and fused with the bone, your custom-made overdentures will be created to fit over these implants or any remaining teeth. The result is a stable, secure, and natural-looking set of teeth that improves both function and aesthetics.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do overdentures differ from regular dentures?
Overdentures are supported by dental implants or natural teeth, providing more stability and comfort than traditional dentures, which rest directly on the gums.
Are overdentures removable?
Yes, overdentures are removable, making them easy to clean and maintain while providing the stability of implant support.
Can I get overdentures if I already have implants?
If you have existing implants, it may be possible to use them to support overdentures. Dr. Alfonso will assess your situation during your consultation.
How long do overdentures last?
With proper care, overdentures can last many years. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene are essential to maintaining their longevity.
What is the recovery time after getting overdentures?
If implants are involved, the healing process can take a few months. Once the implants are fully integrated, the overdentures can be fitted, and the adjustment period is usually brief.
