Straumann Dental Implant Overdentures is 1 of the denture types that replaces missing teeth and is held firmly in place by dental implants. Unlike regular dentures that rest on the gums and can sometimes slip or feel uncomfortable, an overdenture attaches to implants that are placed in the jawbone. These implants act like strong anchors, giving the overdenture extra stability so it stays secured while eating, speaking, or smiling.

The overdenture itself is custom-made to fit into the mouth perfectly and can be removable or fixed, depending on the patient's needs. With Straumann Dental Implants and the LOCATOR attachment system, the overdenture snaps onto the implants in a way that allows easy removal for cleaning or can be made fixed so it stays in place all the time. This combination helps improve comfort and function compared to traditional dentures.

Straumann Dental Implant Overdentures works by surgically placing small titanium implants into the jawbone. These implants act like artificial tooth roots. Over time, the implants naturally bond with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation. Once healed, special connectors called LOCATOR abutments are attached to the implants. These connectors allow the overdenture to snap securely into place, either as a removable or fixed solution.

This procedure is designed to provide greater comfort, stability, and confidence compared to traditional dentures. The secure attachment helps prevent slipping while eating or talking, this supports better chewing efficiency, and stimulates the jawbone to prevent further bone loss. Patients also benefit from improved speech clarity, a more natural appearance, and the convenience of choosing dentures that best suit their lifestyle.
