Tired of dentures that slip, shift, or limit what you can eat? Implant-supported overdentures snap securely onto dental implants anchored in your jawbone — giving you the stability of fixed teeth with the convenience of a removable denture.
At Spring Hope Family Dentistry, Dr. Elie Abboud handles the entire process in-house — from implant placement to final denture delivery. No referrals to an oral surgeon, no driving to multiple offices. Everything happens right here in Spring Hope, NC.
What Is an Implant Overdenture?
An implant overdenture is a removable denture that snaps onto implants placed in your jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on your gums (and often require adhesive), overdentures are anchored by implants — dramatically improving stability, chewing power, and confidence.
Dr. Abboud typically recommends 3 implants on the lower arch for optimal stability, though your treatment plan will be customized based on your bone density and goals.
Why Choose Implant Overdentures?
- No more slipping — implants lock your denture in place
- Eat what you want — significantly more bite force than traditional dentures
- Preserves jawbone — implants stimulate bone growth, preventing the “sunken face” look
- Removable for cleaning — easy to maintain at home
- All done in-house — Dr. Abboud places implants and fabricates your denture right here
The Process — Start to Finish, Under One Roof
- Free consultation & CBCT scan — Dr. Abboud uses our in-house cone beam CT to evaluate your bone and plan implant placement with 3D precision.
- Implant placement — Implants are surgically placed in our office by Dr. Abboud. If you’re currently wearing a denture, we can often modify it to wear during healing.
- Healing period — Implants integrate with your bone over 3–6 months.
- Overdenture fabrication & delivery — Once healed, your custom overdenture is made and fitted with attachments that snap onto your implants.
Implant Overdenture Pricing
Because implant overdentures involve multiple components — the implants themselves, abutments (connectors), and the overdenture — pricing varies based on how many implants you need and the type of denture selected.
During your free consultation, Dr. Abboud will provide a complete, itemized treatment plan so you know exactly what to expect. Many patients are surprised at how affordable this option is — especially compared to practices that refer out for implant placement (adding a second office’s fees).

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for implant overdentures?
Most patients with adequate bone density are good candidates. Dr. Abboud uses CBCT imaging to evaluate your bone and determine the best approach. Even patients with some bone loss may qualify with the right implant placement strategy.
Is implant placement painful?
Most patients report less discomfort than expected. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, and post-operative discomfort is typically managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
How long does the whole process take?
From implant placement to final overdenture delivery, the full process typically takes 4–6 months — most of which is healing time.
Can my existing denture be converted to an overdenture?
In many cases, yes. Dr. Abboud can evaluate whether your current denture can be retrofitted with implant attachments.
