Overdenture
Implant overdentures combine the stability of implants with the convenience of removable prosthetics. We fabricate bar-retained, locator, and ball attachment overdentures for optimal patient outcomes. Overdentures are ideal for patients who prefer removable options or have anatomical limitations preventing fixed solutions.
Key Features
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between bar and locator overdentures?
Bar overdentures use a metal bar connecting implants with clip attachments in the denture. Locator overdentures use individual attachments on each implant. Bars provide more stability; locators are simpler to maintain.
How many implants are needed for an overdenture?
Mandibular overdentures can succeed with 2 implants using locators. Maxillary overdentures typically require 4-6 implants due to bone density and leverage considerations.
How often do attachments need replacement?
Locator caps typically need replacement every 6-12 months depending on patient habits. Bar clips may last 2-3 years. We provide replacement components with each case.
