If you live in Eastover and you are tired of dentures that slip when you eat or click when you talk, implant-supported overdentures are the long-term fix. They anchor to two or more small implants placed in your jawbone, so the denture stays where it belongs. The Teeth Doctors office is at 6402 Yadkin Road in west Fayetteville, roughly 10 to 15 minutes from Eastover depending on which side of town you start from. Dr. Jeremiah Davis holds advanced implant credentials that fewer than 10 dentists in North Carolina can match, including Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology.
Why Eastover Patients Choose The Teeth Doctors
Eastover sits in the northeast corner of Cumberland County, the same county as Fayetteville. From the center of Eastover, the practice is about 10 to 15 minutes away via US-301 and I-295. You are not driving to another city; you are driving across the same county to a practice that handles implant cases with the depth and detail most general offices cannot offer.
Overdenture work sits at the intersection of two specialties: implant surgery and prosthetics. Many practices that offer overdentures handle one of those well and the other adequately. The result tends to show up over time: implants placed in less-than-ideal positions for the prosthetic to function, attachment systems that wear out faster than they should, denture bases that crack along stress lines that were predictable from day one. Patients who come to us from Eastover typically tell us they wanted one dentist who personally plans both halves of the case.
Master-Level Implant Credentials, Right in Cumberland County
Dr. Jeremiah C. Davis, DDS, MBA, brings the following credentials to every overdenture case:
- United States Army veteran, 82nd Airborne Division
- Master of the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD), held by fewer than 2 percent of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada

Dr. Davis served as a captain in the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg before completing his dental degree at UNC Chapel Hill and an MBA from UNC Kenan-Flagler. He has practiced in both private and public dental care settings, and he is a father of seven who lives and gives back in the Fayetteville community.
What Are Overdentures?
Overdentures are removable dentures that lock onto dental implants placed in your jawbone. They look and feel similar to conventional dentures, but they do not slip, do not need adhesive, and do not allow the underlying bone to shrink the way traditional dentures do. The implants underneath stimulate your jawbone the way natural tooth roots would, which preserves both your bone and the shape of your face over time.
Most overdenture patients are missing all or most of their teeth in an arch (upper, lower, or both). Some are converting from a conventional denture they have worn for years and are tired of fighting with. Others are facing the loss of their last few teeth and want to plan ahead for stability rather than start with a conventional denture they know will eventually need to be replaced.
Implant-Supported vs. Tooth-Supported Overdentures
Implant-supported. Two to four implants placed in your jawbone serve as anchors for the denture. The most common configuration. Works for patients with no remaining teeth in the arch or for patients converting from a conventional denture.
Tooth-supported. If a few of your natural teeth are still healthy and in usable positions, they can be prepared to anchor the overdenture instead of (or in addition to) implants. This option preserves your remaining teeth and may reduce overall cost. Dr. Davis will walk through whether this option fits your case at the consultation.
Your Overdenture Treatment From Start to Finish
- Consultation and CBCT scan. Roughly 60 to 90 minutes. We review your goals, examine your mouth, take 3D imaging, and explain your options. You leave with a written treatment plan and cost.
- Implant placement. One visit, usually 60 to 90 minutes per arch. Local anesthesia is standard; sedation is available.
- Healing period. Three to six months for your jawbone to integrate with the implants. You wear an interim denture so you are never without teeth.
- Final impressions and design. Once integration is confirmed, we take final impressions for your custom overdenture.
- Delivery and follow-up. We fit and adjust your final overdenture, then see you back for a quick check a few weeks later to confirm everything is comfortable.
Caring for Your Overdentures
- Remove the denture once a day for cleaning. Brush it with a soft brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner.
- Brush your gums, tongue, and around the implant abutments with a soft toothbrush.
- Soak the denture overnight in water or a denture-cleaning solution.
- See us every six months for a cleaning and an attachment check.
- Call if anything feels loose, breaks, or causes irritation. Quick fixes now prevent bigger issues later.

Questions From Eastover Patients
How close is Eastover to The Teeth Doctors?
Eastover is in the same county as the practice. From the center of Eastover, the office is about 10 to 15 minutes via US-301, I-95, and I-295. Most Eastover patients tell us the drive feels shorter than the drive to many in-town dental offices simply because the freeway route is fast.
Will my insurance cover any of this?
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of the denture itself. Coverage for the implants underneath varies by plan. We run your benefits before you commit and give you a written out-of-pocket estimate. CareCredit financing is available for the portion insurance does not cover, and the Friends and Family Membership Plan covers preventive visits and adds a procedure discount for patients without insurance.
How many implants will I need?
Most overdenture cases use two implants on a lower arch and four on an upper arch. The exact number depends on your bone volume, the attachment system you choose, and how stable you want the final denture to feel. We confirm the number after reviewing your CBCT scan at the consultation.
What if I have lost a lot of bone from wearing a denture for years?
Bone loss is a common reason people come to us, and it is the exact problem implant-supported overdentures address going forward. If bone loss is advanced enough that immediate implant placement is not safe, we can typically build up the area with a bone graft and place implants a few months later. The CBCT scan tells us which path your case will take.
Are overdentures permanent?
The implants in your jawbone are permanent and typically last 20 years or more with good hygiene. The denture itself is removable for daily cleaning. The internal snap-in attachments wear and need replacement every 1 to 3 years, which is a quick chair-side swap.
