Implant Overdentures in Jersey City, NJ

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unlike traditional dentures, these snap onto implants, making them much more stable and reliable for chewing and daily activities.
