What to Know about Overdentures
Overdentures provide support to dentures and partials. Some advantages include:
- Improved speech. With poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. For this reason, dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that teeth might slip.
- Improved comfort. Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.
- Easier eating. Since sliding dentures can make chewing difficult, dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.
- Improved self-esteem. Dental implants can give you back your smile, thus helping you feel better about yourself.
- Convenience. Removable dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.
