What Are
Implant Overdentures
An implant overdenture is a full arch of replacement teeth supported by a few strategically placed dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, implant overdentures snap or attach securely to dental implants that have fused with your jawbone. This connection provides exceptional stability, comfort, and chewing power—allowing your new teeth to look, feel, and function just like natural ones.
Patients who choose implant overdentures often find they can eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence. This treatment also helps preserve bone structure, maintain facial contours, and eliminate the slipping or irritation common with removable dentures.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING?
Implant Overdentures?
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Goldwater. He will assess your oral health, take digital scans, and discuss your goals to determine the best number of implants for your needs.
Implant Placement
During the procedure, two to six dental implants are placed in your jawbone under local anesthesia. These implants act as secure anchors for your future overdenture.
Healing and Integration
Over the next several months, your implants naturally fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. Temporary dentures may be provided so you can smile and eat comfortably during healing.
Final Restoration
Once the implants have healed, your custom overdenture will be securely attached. Depending on your preference, it can be removable for easy cleaning or fixed permanently for maximum convenience and stability.
At Dr. Brandon Goldwater’s Jenkintown dental office, our focus is on precision, comfort, and natural-looking results. We use state-of-the-art digital technology and trusted implant systems to ensure every restoration fits perfectly and functions seamlessly.
