Natural teeth supporting overdenture:
 |
Some cases might permit dentists to save a few natural teeth by using extensive root canal treatments. These remaining teeth are used as support structures with a capping or a retention ball attached to them. The natural teeth structure thus act like posts over which the denture is retained. |
Implant supported overdenture:
 |
In cases where it is not possible to save any remaining teeth even through root canal treatments, implants are used to retain and support a denture. The methods of taking support from implants are ball & socket, custom made bar splintting all the implants.
The implants allow the individual to talk and eat freely without worrying about wobbling of the dentures; it is one of the most efficient method to ensure that dentures provide a natural feel while talking and consumption of food.
