Implant-Supported Overdentures
Dental Implants > Implant-Supported Overdentures
There are many reasons, but sometimes teeth are not savable. If all teeth in the jaw require extraction, you could be a candidate for implant-supported overdentures. Implant-supported overdentures are basically conventional plastic full dentures that have attachments on the inside. You will have two to four implants in the jawbone that will connect the dentures to your mouth. Implant-supported overdentures are a treatment we only do in the bottom jaw. Dr. Lydia will explain in detail during your initial consultation.
Other terms: Snap-on dentures, dentures on top of implants, and dentures with implant locators
