What is Over Denture?
An overdenture, also known as an (overlay denture, overlay prosthesis, and superimposed prosthesis) is a type of removable dental prosthesis designed to be placed over remaining natural teeth or dental implants. Unlike complete dentures, which replace all of a person’s natural teeth, overdentures are used when some natural teeth or implants are still present and can provide stability and support.
Overdentures offer several advantages over traditional complete dentures, including better stability, improved chewing efficiency, and reduced bone loss in the jaw. They are a popular choice for individuals who want a more secure and functional option for replacing missing teeth while preserving any remaining natural teeth or utilizing dental implants for support.
Types of OverDenture
Implant-Supported Overdentures
Implant-supported overdentures utilize two to six implants that are securely anchored in the jawbone. These implants play a crucial role in preserving your existing bone structure, helping to prevent further deterioration. The process for an implant-supported overdenture typically involves two surgical procedures. First, the implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. In the second step, the implants are exposed, allowing for the creation of a custom prosthetic. One of the advantages of this overdenture is that it can be easily removed for cleaning and during sleep.
Fixed Implant-Supported Overdentures
A fixed implant-supported overdenture is permanently secured in place using screws and cannot be removed by the wearer. To have it removed, you would need to visit your dentist for the prosthetic to be unscrewed.
While this type of overdenture offers the highest level of stability, it poses a challenge in terms of cleaning, as only a dentist can remove it. Additionally, it is typically the most expensive option, as it requires four dental implants and accompanying screws for support.
Bar-Retained Implant-Supported Overdentures
In the case of a bar-retained implant-supported overdenture, a bar is affixed to the implants, enabling the denture to be securely clipped onto it. This design provides the flexibility to remove and reinsert the overdenture as needed while ensuring a higher level of security compared to a conventional denture. Most individuals choose to remove the overdenture primarily for cleaning or during sleep.
Ball-Retained Implant-Supported Overdentures
A ball-retained overdenture utilizes ball-shaped attachments to connect the implants to the denture, resulting in enhanced stability and functionality compared to a traditional denture.
The ball attachments make cleaning and potential component replacement more convenient.
Overdenture Partials
For those who are missing only a few teeth, a partial denture may be required. An overdenture partial serves the same purpose as a complete implant-supported denture, replacing tooth roots with one or more implants to allow the partial to securely clip onto them.
Note - A partial overdenture offers a more natural appearance than a traditional partial denture.
When should you seek a Over Denture treatment?
You should consider seeking Over Denture treatment in the following situations:
Missing Teeth
If you have several missing teeth, especially in a single arch (upper or lower jaw), and you want a more stable and functional solution than traditional complete dentures.
Unstable Dentures
If you are currently using complete dentures and are experiencing issues with them moving or shifting while eating, speaking, or smiling.
Existing Natural Teeth
If you have some remaining natural teeth in your mouth, but they are in poor condition or may need to be extracted in the future.
Desire for Stability
If you value stability, improved chewing efficiency, and a more secure fit for your denture.
Implant Support
If you have considered dental implants and have sufficient bone structure to support them, you may opt for an implant-supported overdenture.
Preservation of Bone Health
If you want to minimize bone loss in your jaw, which can occur after tooth loss, especially if you have several missing teeth.
Enhanced Quality of Life
If you want a dental restoration that allows you to eat a wider range of foods, speak more clearly, and smile with confidence.
Cost Considerations
Overdentures can be a more cost-effective option compared to full-mouth dental implant treatment, making them a suitable choice for patients with budget constraints.
OverDenture treatment procedure at Dr Shashi’s Dental Studio
The overlying dentures are anchored in place by dental implants through specialized connectors called locator abutments. These implants support the abutments, which securely fit into corresponding housings within the denture base. The choice of housing type, as determined by the dentist, affects the degree of friction, leading to varying levels of denture stability and retention.
When two dental implants are used, their primary function is to prevent vertical displacement and enhance denture retention. This ensures that the denture remains firmly in place but may still have some rotational movement during chewing.
On the other hand, when three or four dental implants are employed, they provide comprehensive 3-dimensional stability. This results in both resistance to displacement and prevention of denture rotation. As a result, you can comfortably enjoy your meals without concerns about denture movement.
Step - 1, Consultation and Assessment
Examination: Your dentist at Dr, Shashi’s Dental Studio will perform a thorough examination of your oral health, including the condition of your remaining teeth, gums, and jawbone.
Medical and Dental History: You need to provide your medical and dental history, including any existing dental issues, previous treatments, and medical conditions.
Diagnostic Tools: Your dentist may use diagnostic tools such as photographs, impressions, and 3-D Cone Beam radiography to gather detailed information about your oral anatomy.
Bone Height Assessment: Part of the assessment is determining the height and condition of your jawbone to evaluate its suitability for implant placement. If necessary, additional procedures may be recommended.
Step - 2, Implant Placement
To ensure your comfort, your dentist will administer a local anesthetic before commencing the procedure. In some cases, a 3-D surgical guide may be employed to determine the precise implant placement locations.
Multiple titanium implants will be securely affixed to your jawbone. Following implant placement, your dentist will suture the area to facilitate the healing process.
Step - 3, Healing Period
You will require a healing period of three to six months to allow the implants to integrate with your jawbone successfully.
Step - 4, Healing Cap
Once the healing period is complete, your dentist will uncover the implants and attach a healing cap to facilitate the soft tissue healing process.
Step -5, Impression
Your dentist will create a digital scan or impression of your mouth, including the implants. Precise measurements will be taken and shared with the lab to craft the framework and artificial teeth for your denture. This stage may require several appointments.
Step -6, Denture Insertion
After the overdenture is meticulously crafted, your dentist will provide you with an opportunity to try it on and make any necessary adjustments. If the overdenture fits comfortably, your dentist will secure it in place. You will receive post-care instructions to ensure the proper care of your new prosthetic.

FAQ
Frequently Ask Questions
The overdenture procedure is typically not very painful. Local anesthesia is used during the surgery to numb the area, which helps minimize discomfort. After the procedure, some patients may experience mild to moderate soreness and discomfort, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
The cost varies depending on the number of implants required. For a lower jaw that needs 2 implants, the cost starts at Rs 90,000, while the upper jaw, which requires 4 implants, will have a different cost.
When implant-supported dentures are well-maintained and the jawbone is kept healthy, they can last between 10 to 20 years or even longer. This means they could be the last dentures you’ll ever need.
Overdentures have some drawbacks. They involve a more invasive surgical process, may be initially more costly, and if not cleaned properly, they can be susceptible to infection and inflammation.
It’s generally recommended to remove your dentures at night to give your gums a break. Even for partial dentures, it’s best to take them out while sleeping to prevent potential issues.
For full upper jaw dental restoration, four implants are typically considered ideal. However, if a patient’s upper jaw has lower bone density, five or six implants may be necessary.
Complications can arise after overdentures are placed, including changes in the gums and prosthesis fracture. The most common cause of gum tissue changes is inadequate oral hygiene.
As you adapt to your new appliance, you’ll be able to eat most of the foods you enjoyed with natural teeth. If you have implant-supported dentures, it’s a good idea to avoid nuts and seeds as they can slip under the denture and irritate your gums.
