🦷 Patient Story: A New Smile with Implant Overdenture in Lower Arch
By Dr. Sujoy Mukherjee
Patient Name: Mr. Arup Das (Name changed for privacy)
Age: 65 years
Problem: Loose lower denture causing difficulty in eating and speaking
The Challenge:
Mr. Das, a retired school teacher, came to us with a common yet frustrating problem — his lower denture was constantly moving, making it hard for him to chew food or even speak with confidence. He had tried several denture adhesives, but nothing seemed to work permanently.
"I couldn’t enjoy my favorite foods, and even a simple conversation became uncomfortable," he shared.
The Solution: Implant Overdenture
After a thorough clinical and radiological evaluation, we advised two dental implants in the lower jaw to support a removable overdenture. This is a cost-effective and stable solution, especially for elderly patients struggling with lower denture retention.
The Procedure:
✅ Step 1: Two implants were precisely placed in the lower arch (mandible) under local anesthesia.
✅ Step 2: After a healing period, locator abutments were attached.
✅ Step 3: A new overdenture was fabricated that snaps securely onto the implants.
The Outcome:
Mr. Das now enjoys:
✔️ Superior stability – No more slipping dentures
✔️ Improved chewing efficiency – Enjoys solid food again
✔️ Clearer speech – Talks confidently with friends and family
✔️ Better facial support – More youthful appearance
“It feels like I have my natural teeth back. Thank you, Dr. Sujoy!” – Mr. Das
What is an Implant Overdenture?
An implant overdenture is a type of denture that is anchored using 2–4 implants, offering greater stability and comfort than traditional removable dentures. It’s especially ideal for the lower jaw, where bone loss and movement are more common.
