An implant-supported overdenture replaces missing teeth with a full dental arch supported by strategically placed implants. Because fewer implants may be required compared to other implant restoration options, this treatment can help reduce overall treatment time and cost.
The implant placement technique can also provide greater stability in the jaw, which may reduce the need for additional bone grafting procedures in some cases. Depending on your needs, the overdenture may be secured using different attachment systems, including bar and clip attachments, ball attachments, magnetic attachments, or stud attachments such as Locators.
Your treatment plan will be customized based on your jaw structure, oral health, and restoration goals. In many cases, temporary teeth may be placed on the same day as implant surgery, allowing you to return to normal activities while your implants heal. After the healing period, your dentist will complete the final restoration.
