Implant Overdentures
TWO IMPLANT RETAINED REMOVABLE IMPLANT OVERDENTURE
An alternative to a fixed bridge is a removable overdenture, which is anchored on 2- 4 implants. The placement of 4 implant results in a more retentive prosthesis. The old fashioned denture has many disadvantages and should be avoided if possible.
BAR RETAINED REMOVABLE IMPLANT OVERDENTURE
A removable full denture that is connected to either a ball or bar attachment, which in turn is anchored on two or more implants in the front part of the jaw.
The implants help keep the denture in place and provide better function and comfort. Cost is usually the reason why this solution is chosen over a fixed bridge – although the end result can’t be compared.
