Implants are typically placed in a two-stage process. In the first stage, the implant is placed in the jawbone and allowed to heal and fuse with the bone over several months. In the second stage, an abutment is attached to the implant, and a custom-made dental crown or other restoration is attached to the abutment.
Improved chewing ability: With better retention and stability, overdentures allow for better chewing ability and increased bite force, which can improve digestion and overall health.
Increased comfort: Overdentures are designed to fit more securely and comfortably than conventional dentures, which can help to reduce sore spots, irritation, and discomfort.
Preservation of bone: Dental implants used to support overdentures help to preserve bone density by stimulating the bone, which helps to prevent the bone from shrinking over time.
The procedure for placing a dental crown typically involves shaping the affected tooth to create a base for the crown, taking an impression of the tooth to ensure a precise fit, and placing a temporary crown while the permanent one is being made. Once the permanent crown is ready, it is cemented in place using a strong dental adhesive
