A Stable and Comfortable Alternative to Traditional Dentures
For patients seeking a more secure, natural-feeling alternative to conventional dentures, overdentures are an ideal solution. At Dentistry for Families in North Las Vegas, NV, we specialize in this advanced restorative option to improve your chewing function, speech clarity, and overall comfort.
Overdentures are a type of removable dental prosthesis that fit over a small number of remaining natural teeth or, more commonly, dental implants. These anchors help stabilize the denture, reducing slippage and discomfort associated with traditional dentures. Often called snap on dentures, they “snap” into place using implant-supported attachments, giving you confidence in your daily activities.
Benefits of Overdentures
Patients from North Las Vegas, Sunrise Manor, and Nellis AFB choose overdentures for their many advantages:
- Greater stability than conventional dentures
- Improved ability to eat and speak comfortably
- Reduced bone loss compared to traditional dentures
- Less irritation of the gums
- Easy to remove for cleaning
Snap on dentures are especially popular for their secure fit, giving you freedom without adhesive creams or constant adjustments.
How Overdentures Work
Overdentures typically rely on implant posts to serve as anchors beneath the gumline. Once the implants have been placed and integrated with the jawbone, the custom denture is fabricated to attach securely to these posts. This process provides a semi-permanent solution that combines the removability of dentures with the stability of implants.
Patients with existing bone loss may benefit from bone grafting, and our use of 3D CT scanning ensures precise implant placement for optimal results.
Am I a Candidate for Overdentures?
You're likely a good candidate for overdentures if you:
- Are missing multiple teeth or all teeth in an arch
- Have sufficient jawbone or are eligible for grafting
- Want more comfort and functionality than traditional dentures can offer
- Prefer a removable but stable tooth replacement option
We’ll evaluate your oral health, bone density, and treatment goals during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Overdentures
How long do overdentures last?
With proper care, overdentures can last 10 years or more. The implant posts may last a lifetime.
Are overdentures better than full dentures?
Yes, especially if you’re looking for improved function and a more natural fit. Snap on dentures eliminate many issues found with traditional removable dentures.
Do I need dental implants for overdentures?
Most overdentures today are implant-supported. However, some may be designed to fit over natural tooth roots, depending on your oral condition.
Is the procedure painful?
Implant placement is done under anesthesia, and most patients report mild discomfort post-procedure. The long-term benefits far outweigh the temporary recovery period.
Does insurance cover overdentures?
Some dental insurance plans do cover a portion of implant-supported dentures. Our team will help verify your benefits and provide financing options as needed.
