An overdenture is one that fits over a small number of remaining natural teeth that have been prepared by the dentist. The prepared teeth provide stability and support for the denture. We can determine if an overdenture would be suitable for you when we examine your mouth and remaining teeth.

If you have some remaining teeth which have roots strong enough to be retained or if you have had implants placed, you can have a denture constructed to fit over those prepared tooth roots or implants. This is a very rapidly growing area of denture provision because it offers far greater support and retention of dentures. Overdentures are the only choice for people who cannot adapt to loose dentures or dentures that have no other possibility for retention, such as a full lower denture on a very flat supporting ridge.
