Overdenture

Overdenture at Smita Dental Care Centre / Excel Dent Clinic, Vashi, Navi Mumbai.

Making an Overdenture (OVD) using a simple ball-and-socket type of attachment for extra retention is a proven and easy alternative treatment to implants. If a patient is treatment planned to have a denture, and the roots of some remaining teeth are supported in healthy alveolar bone - then a conventional over-denture is a viable consideration.

However, only a licensed dental professional can determine if a conventional over-denture is a suitable consideration for a certain person, after a comprehensive examination. The ball-and-socket attachment delivers high retention for full and partial dentures, Overdenture supports a nylon attachment that is incorporated into an overdenture.

Advantages of a conventional over-denture:

  • More retentive in many cases.
  • Helps reduce shrinkage of surrounding bone.
  • Reduces pressure to portions of the alveolar ridge.
  • Positive psychological advantage of still having teeth.
