This type of denture is ideal for those who are looking for a more stable and comfortable solution than traditional removable dentures. Overdentures offer a high level of security and comfort, as the bar fixes the denture in place thanks to the 2 or 4 implants inserted, thus avoiding slipping and uncomfortable movements.

What you need to know about overdentures?
Overdentures are fixed on implants. In contrast to fixed, implant-based bridge cases, where 6 or even 8 implants are often required per jawbone, much fewer are required here – usually 4 implants are placed. These are implanted symmetrically by the oral surgeon, mostly in the places of teeth 2 and 4, as this region has the most suitable – thickest bone, thus avoiding the need for bone grafting to achieve sufficient stability.
The inserted implants are connected with a bar during the preparation of the prosthetic work. The bar is practically a thin metal rod, to which the denture is attached. In some cases, for example, if the denture is fixed to only 2 implants, they are not connected with a bar, but so-called locators are screwed onto the implants. Locators are small, ball-headed, patent-like technical elements. The denture made in this way is the locator denture.
The preparation of the overdenture is very similar to the preparation of an All-on-4 denture. First, the teeth that are no longer healthy and cannot be retained must be removed, so this type of denture offers a tangible and quick solution in the case of an edentulous jaw. After tooth extraction, the patient receives a temporary removable denture for the healing period, which is usually 3 months. Then, the implants can be inserted, after which another healing period follows, which is usually 4 months. While in the All-on-4 implantation technique, the implants are almost always inserted at the same time as the tooth extraction, here it is always necessary to respect the prescribed healing periods between the stages. After the healing period, the implant site is “released”, opened and so-called gum-shaping screws are inserted. This is followed by the usual process: impressions are taken and the final denture is being made in the dental laboratory.
Advantages of the overdenture
Overdentures are an extremely practical solution, as they combine the simplicity and easy cleaning of classic dentures with the guaranteed stability and comfort of implants. This gives you back the joy of eating, talking, smiling, and aesthetic appearance.
It is also important to highlight that while a classic removable upper denture covers the entire palate, a bar denture is only a thin, horseshoe-shaped replacement, so on the one hand you can get used to it much faster, and on the other hand it has a positive effect on taste perception. In the case of an overdenture, you cannot bite hard things in the front region and the denture must be cleaned twice a day. Our qualified doctors will always help you learn the basics of using and cleaning a bar retained denture with maximum care.
Compared to the All-on-6 treatment concept, overdentures are much cheaper, offer an unparalleled value for money, and can be used even if the patient does not have sufficient bone quality and quantity for traditional implant procedure. Bar retained dentures can therefore be an ideal choice in many ways.
