Have you ever found yourself at a family event, about to take a big bite of your beloved biryani, when suddenly… oops – your denture shifts? Embarrassing, huh? Or maybe you think about avoiding crunchy snacks because it is slightly unsettling to you that your denture will not keep up.
Looking for stability, comfort, and confidence? How about implant supported overdentures?
It’s an amazing and life changing upgrade to consider. At Partha Dental we have changed the lives of thousands of patients who have rediscovered the joy of eating, laughing, and smiling without worry!
1. What are Implant Supported Overdentures?
Straight forward as can be. Traditional dentures just “sit” on top of your gums. They may fit snugly at times and they may not at times. But implant supported overdentures are different. They attach securely to implants (tiny titanium screws that are placed inside your jawbone).
Visualize this:
Regular dentures = phones balancing on the corner of your table – wobbly!
Implant retained overdentures = your phones clipped into a phone holder – secure!
Implant overdentures “snap” into position using the special o verdenture attachments. This helps dentures stay in place when chewing, speaking or laughing.
2. How Do Implant Overdentures Work?
The step-by-step process is as follows:
1. Implant placement – Your dentist will implant 2–4 dental implants into your jaw bone to act as anchors.
2. Healing phase – the implants fuse seamlessly into the bone!
3. Attachment phase – Your denture is made, and the denture has connectors that clip into the implants.
4. Click-fit beautify – you simply place and “snap” your denture into position using the overdenture attachments.
It’s strong, secure, and yet removable to clean anytime you wish.
3. Advantages of Implant Supported Dentures
Why are people in a hurry to wear anything other than traditional dentures? The answers are here:
1. No More Slipping and Wobbling
No more worrying about dentures falling out of your mouth while you talk to someone. When you have implants, your denture is fixed in place.
2. Eat Your Favorite Foods Again
Do you love corn on the cob or eating apples that are crunchy? With an implant overdenture, you can feel like you can chew the same again.
3. Look Younger, Live Better
Implants not only help maintain the tissue and bone in your jaw, which is what keeps your face looking fuller, they help avoid the ‘sunken’ look that is created by using dentures.
4. Self Esteem
Now that is priceless!!! Being able to laugh at jokes without covering your mouth, being able to go to anyone’s house and not fear what you will look like, all created by the durability of your implant overdenture.
5. Low Maintenance
Unlike a traditional denture, you can pop it in and out to clean it without any mess. The lack of adhesives leads to a lot less hassle. It’s just that easy.
4. Implant Supported Overdentures vs. Traditional Dentures
| Feature | Traditional Dentures | Implant Supported Overdentures |
| Stability | Movable and slips | Anchored and secure |
| Comfort | May cause sore spots | Very comfortable and natural |
| Chewing Power | Limited by dentures | Chewing feels like natural teeth |
| Jawbone Health | Atrophy and shrinks | Bone is preserved |
| Confidence | Can feel insecure | Smile with confidence |
By far, implant supported overdentures are the best choice in almost every way.
Tooth Supported Overdenture: An Alternative
Not ready for implants? If you have a few healthy teeth left, then a tooth supported overdenture will likely work for you.
Instead of implants, you would use your remaining teeth as the support system.
While this is better than conventional dentures, it is not as stable as implants are.
You can think of it as an in-between option – useful, but not as reliable as the real thing.
5. Hybrid Denture vs Overdenture: What is the Difference?
This one confuses a lot of patients, let’s simplify:
Overdenture: Removable, snaps onto the implants. Easy to clean at home.
Hybrid denture: Fixed, screwed into implants, only dentist can remove
So withhybrid denture vs overdenture it is really about lifestyle.
If you want convenience and price, overdentures are the way to go.
If you want fixed teeth that feel almost exactly like natural, hybrids are the upgrade.
Types of Overdenture Attachments
One of the coolest aspects about implant overdentures is the different attachment systems possible:
- Ball attachments – Small bowling ball shaped connectors which snap into sockets in the denture.
- Locator attachments – Compact connectors that are significant for stability.
- Bar-retained overdentures – A bar attaches to the implants and the denture clips on to it.
Both have pros and cons. We will recommend the best option based on your jaw, bite, and lifestyle.
6. Cost of Implant Supported Overdentures in India
Alright, let’s talk about money – everyone is always looking to know, “How much is this going to cost?”.
The cost of implant supported overdentures will depend on:
- How many implants you need (2, 4 or more)
- The overdenture attachment options selected
- Any additional procedures that may be required bone grafting, sinus lifts issues.
In India, the average cost for implant supported overdentures generally ranges of ₹1.5 lakh to ₹3.5 lakh per jaw.
At Partha Dental, we also offer flexible EMI plans because we think everyone should have a confident smile.
Plus, you have got to remember: unlike regular dentures that will need constant adjustments, and use of adhesives, implant supported overdentures is a one-off payment that will save you money in the long term.
