The perfect solution for missing teeth: superior to dentures and easier on the pocket than All-on-X
Medically reviewed by Dr Anand Makwana, Principal Dentist ·
If you’re missing teeth and are considering your options, overdentures could be just the answer you’re looking for. Overdentures at Dentélle offer you the freedom to smile and eat confidently while giving a stunning natural-looking smile that you can be proud to show off.
Think of overdentures as the perfect middle ground between All-on-X dental implants, which are the crème-de-la-crème but can be a big investment, and dentures, which can cause a range of issues including discomfort, a limited diet, as well as falling out of your mouth at that perfect picture moment!
An overdenture is removable denture that is stabilised by dental implants. It gives you a strong, stable base for a beautiful set of teeth that give you back the freedom to eat your favourite foods as well as building your confidence.
Overdentures give you a range of great benefits, making them a popular choice with our Gippsland community to replace missing teeth:
We start with a comprehensive consultation at Dentélle by WDC. During your visit, our experienced dental team will assess your oral health, take detailed 3D scans of your teeth and jaws, and discuss your goals and expectations. We’ll check your suitability for overdentures and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
We book a visit for you to visit our trusted local clinic who are experts at making dentures. They’ll take careful measurements of your mouth and create your brand new dentures to fit perfectly in your smile.
Next, we arrange for you to see our team at Warragul Dental Care to have your implants fitted. These will securely hold your dentures in place and are the difference between a confident strong smile, and wobbly dentures with teeth that fall out.
Once everything is ready, we’ll secure your overdentures to your implants and away you go! We’ll keep in touch to check that everything feels comfortable and strong. If you have any questions, we’re always at the end of the phone.
Dentures are a removable option for replacing missing teeth, and like all dental appliances, they have risks and recovery considerations.
Whether you’re looking at All-on-X implants or overdentures, we need to make sure it’s the right treatment for your smile. Some key things we’ll check are the health and strength of your jawbone, whether you have any bone loss, your medical suitability, your personal preferences for treatment, your smile goals, as well as your financial considerations.
While overdentures are a fantastic option, they won’t provide the same exceptional results as All-on-4, so it’s good to consider them both before making a final decision.
Overdentures are a great option if you have:
| Overdentures | All-on-X |
|---|---|
| Comparatively more cost effective (start at $15,000) | A larger investment (start at $27,500) |
| Removable solution | Permanent, fixed solution (non-removable) |
| Natural look | Superior aesthetics for a completely natural smile and feel like having your own teeth back |
| Greater comfort than dentures | Complete comfort, once healed |
| Fewer implants needed | More complex surgery |
| Strong and durable | Extremely stable and long lasting – act like normal teeth |
| Improved function for biting, eating and chewing than regular dentures | Fully restored function for biting, eating and chewing |
