At J Smiles Dental Implants Studio, we understand that missing teeth can significantly impact your quality of life. That is why we offer overdentures, a reliable and comfortable solution designed to restore your smile and enhance your oral function. With the expertise of our implantologists, our goal is to provide you with a custom-fit overdenture that meets your unique needs and preferences.

What Are Overdentures?

Overdentures are a type of denture that fits over remaining natural teeth or dental implants instead of directly on your gums. This provides a more stable and secure fit, making them an ideal choice for those who have some remaining natural teeth or implants.

The process begins with a thorough consultation and examination by Dr. Jiro Akpobome or Dr. Christopher Roclevitch. We will discuss your options and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific situation. Our team will then create a custom overdenture designed to comfortably fit your mouth while ensuring proper function.

The Benefits of Overdentures

Overdentures offer several advantages over traditional dentures. They provide improved stability and reduce the risk of shifting or discomfort. By utilizing remaining natural teeth or implants for support, overdentures often feel more natural and secure.

In addition to enhanced stability, overdentures can help preserve bone structure in the jaw. When teeth are missing, the jawbone can start to deteriorate. By using implants or remaining natural teeth as a foundation, overdentures can help maintain the shape and integrity of your jawbone.

We are dedicated to ensuring that your overdenture experience is as comfortable and effective as possible. We use advanced technology and techniques to create a product that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
