Locator Overdenture Implants at Lizaso Family Dentistry
A Secure, Comfortable Solution for Missing Teeth
At Lizaso Family Dentistry, we offer Locator Overdenture Implants as an advanced, stable, and secure solution for patients who need dentures but want a better fit. Locator Overdentures provide improved comfort, function, and confidence compared to traditional removable dentures. They are ideal for patients looking for a reliable, long-term solution to missing teeth, combining the stability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures.
What Are Locator Overdenture Implants?
Locator overdenture implants are a type of implant-retained denture that securely attaches to dental implants, offering superior retention and stability. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, Locator overdentures are connected to titanium implants placed in the jawbone. The Locator system uses special attachments to securely anchor the overdenture, ensuring it remains firmly in place without slipping or shifting.
Benefits of Locator Overdenture Implants
- Improved Stability: Locator implants provide a firm connection to your jaw, preventing dentures from slipping, shifting, or causing discomfort.
- Enhanced Comfort: With the support of implants, Locator overdentures eliminate the discomfort caused by traditional dentures that can rub against the gums.
- Better Functionality: Unlike traditional dentures, Locator overdentures allow you to speak and eat more naturally, as they don’t move or slip out of place.
- Preservation of Jawbone Health: Dental implants help maintain the integrity of your jawbone, preventing bone loss and ensuring your facial structure remains stable.
- Natural Appearance: The secure fit of Locator overdentures results in a more natural appearance, making it easier to smile with confidence.
How Locator Overdenture Implants Work
Locator overdenture implants are placed in the jawbone during a surgical procedure. After the implants are integrated into the bone, your dentist will attach a custom-made overdenture to the implants. The Locator attachment system features small, precision-engineered components that securely hold the denture in place, allowing you to remove and clean the dentures when necessary.
Why Choose Locator Overdentures?
Locator overdentures offer the perfect blend of stability, comfort, and function. Unlike traditional dentures that can be prone to slipping and require messy adhesives, Locator overdentures provide a long-lasting solution that offers more freedom and convenience. They are ideal for patients who want a better-fitting, more reliable alternative to conventional dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Locator overdentures are anchored to dental implants, offering superior stability and retention. Traditional dentures rest on the gums and may shift or slip during speaking or eating.
Yes, Locator overdentures are removable. The implants securely hold the overdenture in place, but it can be removed for cleaning and maintenance.
With proper care, Locator overdenture implants can last for many years. The implants themselves are designed to be permanent, while the overdentures may need to be replaced or relined over time.
The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, so you should not experience pain during the process. Some discomfort or swelling may occur post-surgery, but it can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
The process usually takes several months to complete. This includes the time needed for the implants to integrate with the jawbone (osseointegration) and for the overdentures to be custom-made. On average, patients can expect to wear a temporary denture until the permanent Locator overdentures are ready.
