Overdentures or snap - on dentures
An overdenture is any removable dental prosthesis that covers and rests on one or more roots of natural teeth or dental implants so they can be either tooth supported or implant supported. It is found to help in the preservation of alveolar bone and delay the process of complete edentulism. Implant supported overdentures is a type of removable denture connected to dental implants. The implants are fitted with a special mechanism that clicks with the dentures to lock them securely. It is different from traditional dentures, which sit directly on the gum tissues. They are the preferred option for completely edentulous patients.
