Implant Supported Overdentures (Say Goodbye To Slipping Dentures)

· Those in Chiang Mai looking to replace all missing teeth.
· Those who want to have removable dentures with implant support.
· Those who want to improve chewing and bite function.
· Those who wish to have easier maintenance and cleaning of dentures.
· Those who wish to get more economical alternatives to fixed full-arch implants.

Implant Supported Overdentures are removable dentures stabilized by 2 to 4 dental implants. The implants act as anchors, improving denture retention and preventing slippage while eating or speaking. Unlike traditional dentures, they provide better bite force and stability. These overdentures can be removed for cleaning, making oral hygiene easier while still offering improved function compared to standard dentures.

During Implant Supported Overdentures, implant posts are surgically placed into the jawbone, usually in strategic locations to maximize support. After a healing period, overdentures are fitted over the implants and secured with attachments. The attachments allow the dentures to snap onto the implants, holding it firmly in place. Patients can remove the dentures daily for cleaning, while the implants maintain stability and support. This method combines the advantages of implants with the flexibility of removable dentures.
