Missing All upper or Lower Teeth in Winston-Salem

Individuals may experience tooth loss for any number of reasons – facial trauma, infection, or simple dental neglect. Tooth loss can have significant consequences, including inadequate chewing function, speech impairment, compromised facial aesthetics, and loss of self-esteem.  A patient that is missing an entire row of teeth or that has currently failing teeth is in a unique position: a chance to start fresh with a new smile!

An Implant Supported Overdenture is a contemporary restoration that has become standard of care for the way surgeons and dentists think when replacing a full set of teeth. Standard dentures are unsecured prostheses with inherent limitations. Most often, dentures are inconvenient and unstable.  They may also be painful and noisy. Such dentures can limit the foods that you once enjoyed. We can help with implant-supported overdentures.

This treatment concept replaces your missing teeth with a full arch of teeth supported by dental implants.  Implant-supported overdentures stay connected to the implants in the jaw via a variety of attachments (ball, bar, and resilient stud attachments such as Locators). The most appropriate attachment system for your individual needs relates to a variety of factors that is determined early in the treatment by your surgeon and dentist. Typically, a temporary set of teeth can be placed on the same day of surgery. The temporary teeth allow you to lead a normal life immediately after surgery. After a short healing period, your dentist can utilize the implants to stabilize the restoration. Your quality of life is improved, and you can start enjoying your favorite foods again with renewed confidence.

Scientifically proven and documented. Implant-Supported Overdentures have had good clinical outcomes from decade long studies with favorable results.
