Overdentures

Overdentures

An overdenture is a removable prothesis designed when all teeth need to be replaced. This option covers the entire occlusal surface and attaches the prothesis to dental implants, so they can be stabilized. As a benefit comparing to the fixed ones, with this type of dentures the patient will have an easier control of the prothesis and a better hygiene.

Implant overdentures offer great advantages like improved support, comfort, retention and stability.
