Implant Overdentures in Manhattan, NYC
A Secure, Removable Alternative to Traditional Dentures
If you’re looking for a more stable, comfortable way to replace missing teeth, implant overdentures offer the best of both worlds—fixed support with removable flexibility. At Madison Dental Loft in Midtown and Concierge Dental Design in the Financial District, patients can explore this advanced tooth replacement option that improves comfort, speech, chewing ability, and overall quality of life.
Unlike conventional dentures that rest solely on the gums, implant overdentures are anchored to titanium implants for added stability and retention, while still being removable for easy cleaning.

What Are Implant Overdentures?
Implant overdentures are prosthetic devices that snap onto a set of dental implants, offering a secure fit while allowing the denture to be removed by the patient. They are a preferred solution for those who want better retention than traditional dentures but don’t require a fully fixed implant prosthesis.
This treatment is ideal for:
- Patients struggling with loose or ill-fitting dentures
- Those with moderate bone volume seeking a stable removable solution
- Individuals who want a balance between cost, function, and convenience
Overdentures can be used in both the upper and lower jaws and are typically supported by 2 to 4 implants per arch.
How Implant Overdentures Work
- Initial Consultation and 3D Imaging
We begin with a full assessment, including cone beam CT scans and oral health evaluation, to determine your candidacy and bone quality. - Implant Placement
Implants are strategically placed in the jaw, either during a standalone procedure or following tooth extractions and possible bone grafting. - Healing and Integration
Implants fuse with the jawbone over several months, providing a solid foundation for your overdenture. - Attachment of the Overdenture
Once healing is complete, the custom denture is crafted to snap onto the implants using precision-engineered attachments for a snug, secure fit.
Advantages of Implant Overdentures
- Improved Denture Stability – No more slipping or clicking while speaking or eating
- Removable Design – Allows for easier at-home hygiene compared to fixed options
- Bone Retention – Stimulates jawbone to prevent bone loss and facial collapse
- Better Function – Restores natural chewing ability and supports facial muscles
- Enhanced Confidence – Eliminates adhesive use and the discomfort of loose dentures
Patients often combine implant overdentures with digital denture design for better fit and faster fabrication.

How are implant overdentures different from implant-supported dentures?
While both are anchored by implants, overdentures are removable by the patient, whereas implant-supported dentures are typically fixed in place and removed only by a dentist.
Are they more comfortable than traditional dentures?
Yes. Implant overdentures are much more stable and reduce gum irritation and pressure points commonly associated with conventional dentures.
How do I clean implant overdentures?
They’re removable, so you can clean them with a soft toothbrush and soak them overnight, similar to traditional dentures—but without the instability.
Will I need bone grafting before receiving overdentures?
In some cases, yes. A bone graft may be recommended to support optimal implant placement, especially if bone loss has occurred.
Can I convert my current denture into an overdenture?
Sometimes. We can evaluate your existing prosthetic and recommend whether modification or a new design would yield better results.
