Why Choose Beam Dental
Our dedicated team of dentists, implant specialists, hygienists, and care specialists in Edgewater, NJ, works together to create a convenient dental experience.
If you are missing most or all of your teeth, implant overdentures offer a long-term restorative solution that combines the convenience of a removable prosthetic with the stability of dental implants. Often referred to as "snap-in dentures," these devices attach securely to titanium posts placed in the jawbone rather than relying solely on suction or messy adhesives. This connection provides significantly better comfort and function, especially when you are speaking or eating.
At our Edgewater office, we ensure your overdentures are easy to maintain and comfortable for daily wear. These prosthetics are a great option for patients seeking a more reliable fit than traditional dentures. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your jawbone density to determine if you are a good candidate for the implant placement process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean and maintain them?
You should remove the dentures daily to rinse and brush them with a soft cleaner. It is also important to clean around the implants in your mouth to maintain healthy gums.
How do snap-in dentures actually work?
Your dentist surgically places implants into the jawbone, which then heal and fuse with the bone over several months. Once healed, custom dentures are created to connect directly to those implants using specialized attachments.
How long can I expect my overdentures to last?
The titanium implants are highly durable and can last 20 years or more with proper care. The removable overdenture itself typically lasts around 10 years before it may need to be repaired, replaced, or relined for a better fit.
How many implants will I need for my overdentures?
The number of implants varies for each patient based on factors like jawbone density and whether the overdenture is for the upper or lower jaw. Generally, at least two implants are used for the lower jaw, while the upper jaw typically requires four to six.
What are the primary benefits of implant overdentures?
Unlike traditional dentures, these snap onto implants, making them much more stable and reliable for chewing and daily activities.
