Implant Supported Overdenture

Why an Endodontist is the Best Choice for Implant-Supported Dentures

While many dental professionals work with implants, an endodontist brings a unique level of precision. At Pinole Endodontics, our expertise lies in the internal structures of your teeth and jaw.

  • Microscopic Precision: We are experts at working in tiny, delicate spaces, ensuring your anchors are placed with the highest level of accuracy.
  • Focus on Comfort: We specialize in saving teeth and managing dental pain, so we know exactly how to make your path toward a new smile as gentle and stress-free as possible.
  • Comprehensive Care: Our goal is your long-term health. When providing a new set of implant-supported teeth, we focus on your comfort and oral health.

If you have missing teeth or struggle with dentures that slip, you deserve a solution that restores your smile and confidence. At Pinole Endodontics, we provide modern treatments that securely anchor your new teeth, letting you eat, speak, and laugh freely. Our implant-supported dentures are a cost-effective, hybrid alternative to dental implants that blend the best attributes of implants and dentures.

Implant Overdentures

Implant-supported overdentures are a contemporary restoration that provides a stable foundation for a full set of teeth. This method often requires fewer anchors, making the process more affordable and faster. They provide a cost-effective solution that significantly improves your quality of life, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods again without the discomfort of traditional “floating” dentures.

Some implant overdenture designs are referred to as “snap-on” dentures. These dentures snap onto a few anchored posts in your jaw. Patients like that they stay in place all day but are easily removed at night for cleaning.

Implant Bridges

An implant bridge is used when several teeth are missing. Rather than wearing down healthy teeth, we use small posts to hold the new teeth. They look and work like natural teeth, and don’t cover the roof of your mouth, so taste and feel stay natural.

Permanent Dentures

Also known as fixed dentures, these are designed to remain in your mouth at all times. They are attached to dental implant anchors and are only removed for maintenance during dental checkups. They closely resemble your original teeth; you brush them just like real teeth, and you do not need messy adhesives or overnight soaking in a glass.

Choosing Your Connection: How Your New Smile Stays Put

Every patient has different needs, which is why we offer several ways to fasten your new teeth to their anchors. These anchors are attached to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone and protruding through the gums. We will help you choose the type of attachment that fits your needs:

  • Locators: These low-profile studs securely click your denture into place on the implants, making insertion and removal easy for the wearer.
  • Balls: A reliable attachment that works like a trailer hitch to keep the denture steady.
  • Magnets: Magnetic attachments use a gentle magnetic force between the implant and denture to help guide and secure the denture in position while allowing for comfortable removal.
  • Bars: A thin metal bar connects the anchors, forming a rigid, supportive “track” for your teeth to clip onto.
