Implant-Supported DenturesThe cost-accessible Implant Option
- Implant-supported dentures (overdentures) combine the affordability of dentures with the stability of dental implants.
Two to four implants per arch retain a removable denture via snap-on (locator) attachments.
The Most cost-accessible Implant Option
| Option | Implants | Retention | SD Cost (both arches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-implant mandibular overdenture | 2 (lower only) | Ball/locator | on request |
| 4-implant overdenture (per arch) | 4 per arch | Bar or locator | from on request (both) |
| Fixed full-arch (All-on-4) | 4 per arch | Screw-retained | from on request (both) |
Questions about this procedure?
Why Consider an Overdenture?
- Budget-conscious: Significantly less expensive than fixed options
- Removable for cleaning: Easier maintenance for elderly patients
- Dramatically better than conventional dentures: 85–95% improvement in retention and stability
- The McGill Consensus (2002): The mandibular 2-implant overdenture is the minimum standard of care for edentulous patients
