Implant supported overdenture
Implant-supported overdenture
This is a very good solution for restoring the function, speach and aesthetics if all teeth are lost or if a denture is constantly falling while chewing or talking. In this case two to four implants are placed in the upper or lower jaw. This is the most common indication when because of a long period without teeth the jaw bone is lost and a classic denture can't be made. After the implants integrate into the bone, the implants are connected with a bar or ball attchments that connect with their counterparts in the removable denture thus ensuring a tight fit. This is a far superior solution to the removable denture. There is no risk of falling out and it can be easily cleaned.
