Implant Overdentures in Boynton Beach, FL
Enhanced Comfort and Stability for Your Smile
At South Palm Dental, we understand that restoring your smile is about more than just aesthetics—it’s about functionality, confidence, and quality of life. For patients who want greater stability than traditional dentures, implant overdentures offer a reliable and removable solution supported by advanced dental implant technology. Serving patients across Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Gulf Stream, and Boca Raton, we provide overdenture treatments that look natural and feel secure.
What Are Implant Overdentures?
Implant overdentures are removable dentures that attach to dental implants placed in the jawbone. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums, these are securely anchored to implants, providing enhanced stability and bite force.
The overdenture can be easily removed for cleaning, offering the best of both worlds—implant support and everyday convenience.
Key Benefits of Implant Overdentures
- Improved Retention: No more slipping or clicking while speaking or eating.
- Bone Health Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent bone loss.
- Natural Appearance: Designed to match the shape and color of your natural teeth.
- Comfortable Fit: Less gum irritation compared to traditional dentures.
- Easy Maintenance: Snap-on/snap-off design makes daily care straightforward.
How the Process Works
- Consultation and Evaluation
We start with a comprehensive exam, digital imaging, and a discussion of your goals. - Implant Placement
2–4 dental implants are strategically placed into your jaw. These serve as the foundation. - Healing Period
The implants are given time to fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration. - Attachment of the Overdenture
Once healed, the custom-fitted denture is fabricated and secured to the implants using special attachments.
Is This Option Right for You?
Implant overdentures are often recommended for patients who:
- Are missing all or most of their teeth
- Struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Have enough bone density to support implants (or are candidates for grafting)
- Prefer a removable option that doesn’t rely on adhesives
If you’re looking for greater reliability without committing to permanent fixed dentures, overdentures offer a proven middle ground.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are implant overdentures permanent?

How many implants are needed?
Most patients require 2–4 implants per arch for proper support.
Is the procedure painful?
We use local anesthesia and sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout.
Can existing dentures be converted?
In some cases, existing dentures can be modified to work as overdentures. We will assess compatibility during your consultation.

With proper care, implants can last a lifetime. The overdenture itself may need replacement over time due to normal wear.
