Overdentures with Dental Implants offered by a Dental Lab (2024)

Overdenture

Overdenture can be made to fit over a bar or to work with attachments.

Bar Overdenture

For edentulous patients desiring a stable, aesthetic prosthesis, the Implant Bar Overdenture could be the perfect choice to help improve retention, function and speech. A Bar Overdenture connects the patient’s implants to each other via a fabricated bar that helps protect the individual implants by spreading out the bite load. The complete denture then fits securely over the implants for great stability.

Advantages

Distributes occlusal loads more evenly across all the implants
Restricts movement of the complete denture
Provides a stableoption for patients with missing teeth
Supports the denture while taking pressure off the gum tissue
Provides for better retention and comfort than a conventional denture

Indications

For patients with a heavy bite
When the implants have been placed in softer bone
When significant bone loss has occurred and there is not enough ridge height to provide lateral resistance
