Implant-Supported Overdentures in Gadsden and Albertville, AL

An implant-supported overdenture is a cutting-edge solution for replacing missing teeth, providing superior stability compared to traditional dentures. Unlike regular dentures that rely on adhesives, implant-supported overdentures are securely anchored to dental implants, ensuring a reliable fit that won't slip or move while eating or speaking. This solution restores both the function and appearance of your smile, offering a natural look and improved comfort. Dr. Cecil Dorsett and Dr. Frank E. Orr specialize in implant-supported overdentures, a more stable and secure alternative to traditional dentures. At Oral Surgery Associates Gadsden, we help patients in Gadsden and Albertville, AL restore their confidence and quality of life. Contact us today to explore how this advanced option can work for you.

The process of getting an implant-supported overdenture starts with a consultation, where Dr. Dorsett or Dr. Orr will assess your oral health and determine if you're a good candidate for dental implants. They'll use digital x-rays and scans to evaluate the condition of your gums and jawbone. If necessary, they may recommend bone grafting to ensure the bone is strong enough to support the implants. Once everything is ready, Dr. Dorsett or Dr. Orr will administer local or general anesthesia to keep you relaxed and comfortable. They will place the titanium implants into the jawbone, typically using four or more implants per arch. After the procedure, they will place a temporary denture to allow you to eat and speak as the implants integrate with your jawbone over the next 4 – 6 months. Once fully healed, your custom overdenture will be attached, providing a stable and comfortable solution for replacing missing teeth.

Implant-supported overdentures at Oral Surgery Associates Gadsden offer a practical solution for individuals seeking a secure and natural-looking dental replacement. Some of the benefits of implant-support overdentures include:

  • Durable, long-lasting treatment
  • Provide removable denture options for easy, convenient cleaning with more stability than traditional dentures
  • Optimal fit and diminished possibility of sensitive spots or irritation
  • Help individuals conveniently eat a vast spectrum of foods
  • Work to avert jawbone loss that might develop with conventional dentures
  • Won't shift while speaking or chewing
  • Can enhance your overall look and self-esteem

By requiring fewer implants, implant-supported overdentures reduce both treatment costs and time, making them an affordable denture option for patients seeking a reliable, long-term replacement for missing teeth. They also help prevent bone loss and the need for future dental procedures, further increasing their value over time. During your consultation, our team will discuss your treatment options and help you navigate insurance and financing to ensure you can get the care you need at a budget that works for you.

The office staff, the assistants and the doctor were wonderful!! Everyone made sure that I was comfortable and not in pain. And the only pain I had was my TMJ which was expected and could not be helped. I had very slight swelling and no real problems with my teeth, just a little pressure. It was a terrific experience, if you can say that about an extraction. I would highly recommend anyone in need of an oral surgeon to call
