A bar retained removable implant-supported overdenture is the most stable solution for removable denture.
A bar retained removable implant-supported overdenture is a permanent solution for missing teeth.
The removable overdenture is firmly anchored to the jaw by permanent dental implants.
The main advantage of dental implants is the prevention of the shrinking of the alveolar bone of the jaw. If all of your teeth fall out, it is essential to replace them.
Consequences of missing teeth
- Sagging of mouth and jaw
- Thinner lips
- Wrinkles around the mouth and neck
Benefits of bar retained overdenture
- Durable and stable
- Can be removed for cleaning
- Improves chewing
- Bone mass is preserved
- Maximum stability of de overdenture
The procedure
First, 4 to 5 implants made of titanium are placed in the jaw bone. The jaw bone will then bond with the implants during a process called osteointegration. This process lasts a few months.
After two to four months, the dentist installs a retention bar over the implants. A removable prosthesis (denture) is then placed on this retention bar.
