Implant-Supported Overdentures

[Brightly]

Hi all,

 

Has anyone in town had an implant-supported overdenture procedure done?

 

This procedure involves having 2+ (usually 4) permanent support posts implanted into the jawbone, which provides support and stability for a denture that securely snaps into the posts.

 

It’s similar to a dental implant, but it involves supporting full or partial dentures vs. a single tooth.  And unlike a dental implant, which is fixed, overdentures are designed to be removed for cleaning, etc.

 

I think it’s a good option worth considering, but I’d love some feedback from anyone who’s gone this route:

 

* Are you satisfied with satisfied with the end results?  Would you do it again?

 

* Any hidden pitfalls?

 

* Dentist recommendations?

 

* And of course...cost.

 

Thanks in advance for any and all replies!
