REMOVABLE TOOTH REPLACEMENTS
Implant Overdentures and Overpartials
Implant overdentures and overpartials are removable dental prosthesis that can be placed over dental implants. Typically, traditional dentures are held in place with friction and dental adhesive, but overdentures and overpartials are stabilized by implants, making them feel even more comfortable and natural.
Benefits of Implant Overdentures and Overpartials
Though these prosthesis are removable, they are attached to dental implants that offer more stability. This means that your overdentures will not shift or slip as much as traditional dentures, and they will feel more natural when chewing and speaking. Treatment with implant overdentures and overpartials gives patients with missing teeth comfort, security, and confidence.
How It Works
The overdenture and overpartial treatment process will begin with implant surgery. During this procedure, a surgical colleague of Dr. Milner will insert one or more implants into your jaw bone and gum tissue. Once the sites heal, the implant will act as an artificial tooth root. As your gums heal, Dr. Milner will craft your natural-looking overdenture or overpartial. These dental prosthesis are made to fit perfectly onto your implants and when worn, they look and feel natural. When your treatment is complete, you’ll leave Mississippi Prosthetic Dentistry with a fresh, confident smile.
Understanding Partial Dentures
Partial dentures attach to your remaining healthy teeth using custom-made metal or acrylic clips. These prosthesis hold false teeth in place and fill in the gaps where your missing tooth used to be. At Mississippi Prosthetic Dentistry, Dr. Milner creates partial dentures that look and feel completely natural, so no one will need to know that you’re wearing a prosthetic. Partial dentures are a cost-effective, non-invasive solution, which makes them an ideal choice for patients looking to replace missing teeth without surgery.
