Ill-fitting dentures or those with unreliable adhesives or denture paste can move around while you eat or speak, which can be very uncomfortable. Some patients prefer implant-supported or implant-retained dentures for improved stability and a more comfortable fit.
Here, let us talk a little bit more about these two types of dentures and how you can benefit from Precise Smile Denture Services’ overdentures.

What Are Overdentures?
Implant-supported and implant-retained dentures are types of overdentures.
Overdentures are removable prostheses that rest on top of a metal bar or a person’s remaining tooth root supported by anchors or biocompatible screws. The screws are attached to your jawbone, with a part that’s sticking out for the dentures to click and stick on.
If you only have a few remaining teeth and you’re thinking about getting an overdenture, here are some of its benefits that may help you make an informed decision:
• Overdentures offer a more secure fit than some types of removable dentures. • It allows you to eat any food you love without fear of the denture moving around or broken. • It is comfortable to wear and feels more natural.

What Is Implant-Supported Dentures?
- Implant-supported dentures are dental prostheses held up by the implants, which can either be removable or permanent, depending on your preference or a professional’s recommendation. It usually consists of a metal bar attached to the implants or screws. The dentures will snap onto the metal bar for stability. Benefits you can get from implant-supported dentures: 1. Since the implants hold up the dentures, you can bite with more force without worrying about your jawbone. 2. It will not move around. 3. It will provide you with a beautiful smile since we can make the dentures smaller—just enough to cover the bar and seal the gums. This element can also make the dentures more comfortable to wear. Additionally, here are the important things you need to remember if you prefer implant-supported dentures: 1. You will often need at least four implants to support the bar and the denture. 2. Clean the metal bar with super floss, a floss threader, or an interproximal brush. 3. Although you won’t have to worry about cavities when you have dentures, it is essential to keep the area under the metal bar clean to avoid gum disease, as it may lead to implant failure. 4. Implant-supported dentures are more costly than implant-retained dentures.
What Are Implant-Retained Dentures?
On another note, implant-retained dentures are dental prostheses held up by the gums. With this type of prosthetic device, the dentures directly rest on your gums with at least two implants to support and secure them in place.
Listed below are the benefits you can get from implant-supported dentures:
1. It helps you chew better compared to regular dentures. 2. Unlike implant-supported dentures, you won’t need more implants for implant-retained ones. 3. Easy to clean with a toothbrush and clipped back into place.
Additionally, here are the important things you need to remember if you prefer implant-retained dentures:
1. It transmits force to your gums. Therefore, you won’t be able to bite your food with as much force as you can as with an implant-supported prosthesis. However, its stability is still better than regular dentures. 2. Make sure to clean your dentures and soak them in a denture cleaner overnight. 3. Every once in a while, you can also opt for regular cleaning and removal from a professional to ensure optimal oral health.
