Overdentures in San Antonio, TX

Overdentures are a modern alternative to traditional dentures, offering improved stability, chewing function, and comfort. At Restoration Dental, Dr. Kye Mallernee provides custom overdentures that securely attach to dental implants or retained natural teeth—helping patients regain confidence in their smile without the inconvenience of loose-fitting prosthetics.

Unlike conventional dentures, overdentures are designed to “snap” into place using dental implants for added retention. This makes them especially beneficial for patients who struggle with poor denture fit, bone loss, or frequent sore spots. Whether you're transitioning from full dentures or exploring implant options, overdentures offer a practical, affordable long-term solution.

We serve patients throughout Northwest San Antonio, including Helotes, Leon Valley, Braun Station, and Alamo Ranch, offering personalized tooth replacement solutions that restore both function and quality of life.

Overdentures combine the benefits of removable dentures with the stability of implants. Depending on your case, the overdenture may attach to:

• Dental implants placed in the jawbone
  
  
• Remaining natural teeth that are specially prepared to anchor the denture

In most cases, implant-supported overdentures are the preferred option. These use 2 to 6 implants to hold the denture in place. The denture can be easily removed for cleaning but remains secure throughout the day while speaking or eating.

The treatment process typically includes:

• A consultation with Dr. Mallernee to evaluate bone density and oral health
  
  
• Placement of dental implants (if needed)
  
  
• Fabrication of a custom-fit denture designed to attach to the implants
  
  
• Final adjustments for comfort, bite, and aesthetics

Patients considering overdentures may also benefit from our All-on-X implants, traditional dentures, or dental implants, depending on their goals, health, and budget.

Overdentures offer a number of advantages over conventional removable dentures. Dr. Mallernee takes a patient-first approach, designing each overdenture for a secure, functional, and natural-looking result.

Benefits include:

• Increased stability: No more shifting, slipping, or messy adhesives
  
  
• Improved chewing ability: Enjoy a wider variety of foods
  
  
• Enhanced speech: Dentures stay in place while talking
  
  
• Bone preservation: Implants help maintain jawbone density
  
  
• Easy maintenance: Removable for daily cleaning
  
  
• Better fit and comfort: Customized to your unique oral anatomy

Overdentures are also a good solution for patients who may not qualify for full-arch fixed implants due to bone loss or medical conditions. With proper care and regular dental checkups, overdentures can last many years and greatly improve your quality of life.
