Overdenture

Removable complete overdentures are modified dentures that mount on implants to provide stability. For a denture in the maxilla, at least 4 implants are needed, while for a denture in the lower jaw at least 2 implants are needed.

The advantages of implant-supported dentures are many such as:

• it is a reliable solution in order to function without problems for many years.
• it is stable because it mounts on the implants.
• it allows proper chewing of food.
• the patient gets used to it quickly, since it does not cover the palate so the sensation and the taste do not change.
• the gingiva and mucous membranes are not injured.
• they have a very good aesthetics.
• it is a relatively inexpensive solution.
• surgeries for implant placement are not in great extent.
