About Implant Overdentures
Implant supported dentures, also known as overdentures, are a modern solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike standard dentures, which rest on your jaw and can often be painful, inconvenient, and unstable, implant supported dentures are securely retained by dental implants. These traditional dentures can make chewing difficult, limiting your enjoyment of certain foods.
With implant supported dentures, your missing teeth are replaced by a full dental bridge supported by fewer implants, reducing both treatment time and cost. This innovative treatment provides a more stable and comfortable alternative to standard dentures, enhancing your overall quality of life.

Implant Overdenture Procedure at Vancouver Dental Specialty Clinic
Consultation and Planning
We examine your gums, denture fit, and bite. We use imaging to plan implant positions and choose the attachment type that best suits your needs.
Implant Placement
A specialist places the implants. Healing time varies by case. Some patients can continue using a denture during healing with specific adjustments.
Denture Connection and Fitting
Once implants are ready, we connect the overdenture attachments and fine-tune the bite. We focus on comfort, stability, and a natural look.
Advantages of Implant Overdentures
- A cost effective solution. When compared to some other implant supported restoration methods, your new replacement teeth require fewer implants for each jaw. With fewer implants required, the cost is lowered.
- Reduced need for bone grafting. The special angled placement of two of the implants ensures a secure and stable anchorage for the replaced arch, often making bone grafting unnecessary.
- Faster treatment and healing time. Your replacement arch can be attached to your implants immediately after insertion.
Scientifically proven and documented. Implant Overdentures have had good clinical outcomes from decade long studies with favorable results.

- Have enough bone for implants, or are open to grafting if required
A consultation and 3D imaging confirm bone volume, gum health, and the safest implant positions.
