Overdentures

Overdentures are a popular and innovative solution for tooth loss. At Harmony Dental Care in Burbank, we take pride in offering the latest dental prosthetics to restore your smile and confidence.

What is an Overdenture?

An overdenture is a removable prosthesis that is attached to your upper or lower jaw. They are made from acrylic, metal, or plastic, and can be custom fitted for each patient. They are held in place with clasps or suction. Overdentures offer many benefits over dentures, including:

A more natural appearance
Improved speech and chewing comfort
A more secure fit
Less damage to surrounding healthy tissue
Less chance of the prosthesis falling out

To make the right decision when selecting a quality prosthesis, it’s crucial to explore other denture options available to you.

Full dentures are commonly used to replace an entire arch of missing teeth. They consist of a pink acrylic base that mimics gum tissue and artificial teeth attached to the base. The dentures sit on your gums and rely on suction and adhesives to stay in place.
Partial Dentures are a viable solution if you’re missing several teeth. They consist of artificial teeth attached to a metal framework that fits snugly between your remaining teeth. The framework may also have metal clasps that attach to your remaining teeth for added support.
Implant-Supported Overdentures are a more stable and natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures. They are supported by dental implants that replace your natural tooth roots. The implants are surgically positioned into your jawbone and left to fuse with the bone tissue, providing a secure foundation for the overdenture. Implant-supported overdentures are comfortable, functional, and look and feel like natural teeth.
