What Are Overdenture Implants?
Definition and Unique Features
●An implant overdenture is a removable denture that snaps onto dental implants 
embedded in the jawbone, offering superior retention compared to traditional 
dentures.
●Traditional dentures rely on suction or adhesives and simply rest on the gums, 
often leading to movement and instability during eating or speaking.
●Overdenture implants provide a hybrid solution, combining the affordability and 
removability of dentures with the firmness and bone-preserving benefits of 
implants.
●This approach is especially suitable for patients who have lost most or all teeth 
but retain enough jawbone to support implant placement.
