I am very happy with this dentist. I moved to this dentist after a bad experience at my old one, which always made me feel comfortable and at ease. I moved out of the area but will still use this dentist and can’t recommend it enough.
Overdentures
Bright Dental Surgery, St Johns, Woking
Overdentures are dentures that fit over a few remaining natural teeth or dental implants, offering more stability and comfort than traditional dentures.
If you are missing several teeth or even all of them, you have probably considered dentures. But did you know there is a more secure and comfortable option? Overdentures might be just what you’re looking for.
What Exactly are Overdentures?
An overdenture is like a regular denture but with a big difference. It is designed to fit over a few remaining natural teeth or implants. These teeth or implants act as anchors, giving the over-denture extra stability. That means less slipping and sliding and more confidence when eating, talking, or laughing.
Why Choose an Overdenture?
Overdentures can offer the best of both worlds as they are more secure than traditional dentures, thanks to the support from your natural teeth or implants. Plus, they can help preserve the remaining bone in your jaw, which can shrink over time when you lose teeth. Overdentures are also more comfortable because they are custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly.
What’s the Process Like?
Getting an overdenture usually involves a few steps. If you have remaining teeth that are healthy enough, they will be prepared to support the overdenture. In some cases, implants might be placed instead. After that, impressions of your mouth are taken, and your overdenture is custom-made to fit securely and comfortably. Once it’s ready, we’ll ensure it fits just right, and you’ll leave with a smile you can feel good about.
Is an Overdenture Right for You?
Overdentures are not suited for everyone, but they are worth considering if you want a more secure and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. We’re here to help you determine the best option for your situation.
