What is an implant-retained overdenture?

An implant-retained overdenture is the answer for people whose dentures do not stay in place. It is attached to two or more implants placed in the jaw. This keeps the denture firmly in place when eating and speaking. The denture is removable, which is convenient for cleaning. An implant-retained overdenture improves comfort and self-confidence. The implants also help preserve the jawbone. The procedure is less extensive than a complete fixed bridge. The treatment is often (partly) reimbursed for patients with no remaining teeth. Regular check-ups and cleaning of the system are important. Your dentist or implantologist will discuss whether this option is suitable for you.
