Implant Overdentures in Murfreesboro, TN

If you’re tired of unstable dentures but not ready for a fully fixed implant solution, implant overdentures may be the perfect fit. At Starbody Dental, we offer implant overdentures in Murfreesboro as a comfortable, removable solution that locks into place for greater security, function, and confidence.

These “snap-in” dentures combine the affordability of traditional dentures with the stability of dental implants — giving you the best of both worlds.

What Are Implant Overdentures?

Implant overdentures are removable dentures that connect to dental implants in your jaw via a secure attachment system. They stay firmly in place while you eat and speak — and are removed at night for cleaning and care.

Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and rely on suction or adhesive, implant overdentures:

  • Snap into place for improved stability
  • Prevent slipping and rocking
  • Stimulate the jawbone to reduce bone loss
  • Improve chewing power and speech clarity
  • Are custom-made for comfort and aesthetics

Many patients describe them as a dramatic upgrade in quality of life — especially those frustrated with loose or uncomfortable dentures.

Who Should Consider Implant Overdentures?

Implant overdentures are an ideal option if you:

  • Are missing most or all teeth in the upper or lower arch
  • Currently wear full dentures but want more security
  • Want to improve chewing ability and comfort
  • Prefer a removable prosthetic that doesn’t shift or fall out
  • Want a cost-effective alternative to fixed full-arch implants
  • Are looking for a conservative surgical solution with fewer implants

They’re also a great stepping stone for patients who may eventually consider fixed solutions like All-on-4.

How Implant Overdentures Work

  1. Placement of Implants
    We typically place 2–4 dental implants in the jawbone, depending on your needs. These serve as secure anchors for the overdenture.
  2. Attachment Design
    The underside of the denture is fitted with precision attachments that “snap” onto the implants, holding the denture firmly in place.
  3. Daily Use & Removal
    You’ll remove your overdenture at night for cleaning, but during the day, you’ll enjoy improved function and peace of mind — no adhesives needed.

Benefits of Implant Overdentures

  • Enhanced Stability – Say goodbye to slipping or floating dentures
  • Improved Chewing Function – Enjoy more foods with fewer restrictions
  • Greater Comfort – Less rubbing, pressure, or sore spots
  • Bone Preservation – Stimulates jawbone to maintain facial structure
  • Cost-Effective – Fewer implants and lower cost than fully fixed restorations
  • Easy Maintenance – Removed daily for cleaning, just like traditional dentures

This makes them an excellent choice for patients seeking reliability and simplicity.

Implant Overdentures vs. Implant-Secured Dentures

While these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, implant-secured dentures may also refer to fixed (non-removable) full-arch restorations. Here's how they compare:

Feature Implant Overdentures Implant-Secured Dentures
Removable ✅ Yes ✅ Optional
Fixed in Place ❌ No ✅ Yes (optional)
Number of Implants 2–4 2–6
Cost Lower Moderate–Higher
Maintenance Removed nightly Removable or fixed options

We’ll explain the pros and cons of each so you can make the most informed decision.

Still have questions?

Contact Us

Are implant overdentures removable?‍

Yes. Overdentures are designed to be removed at night for cleaning. They snap securely onto implants during the day but are not fixed in place permanently.

How many implants do I need?‍

Most patients need 2–4 implants per arch for overdentures. Fewer implants means less surgery and a more cost-effective solution.

Are implant overdentures better than regular dentures?‍

Yes — they offer significantly more stability, chewing ability, and comfort. They also help preserve bone, which regular dentures cannot do.

Do overdentures look natural?‍

Absolutely. Your overdenture is custom-designed to match your facial structure and appearance. Most people won’t be able to tell the difference.

How long do implant overdentures last?‍

The implants can last a lifetime with proper care. The denture itself may need replacement or adjustment over time, depending on wear.

What’s the cost of implant overdentures?‍

Cost depends on the number of implants and the type of prosthetic. We’ll provide a transparent quote and offer financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Proceed Finance.
