What is a bar-supported removable denture exactly?
Bar-supported dentures, also known as implant-supported overdentures, offer enhanced stability and functionality compared to traditional dentures. This innovative dental solution involves attaching a custom-made denture to a sturdy metal bar, which is securely anchored to dental implants. These implants are strategically placed in your jawbone to provide optimal support for your denture.
The bar-supported denture is the optimal compromise solution when
- In the rear area no sinus lift is possible or desirable
- The patient wants to have only 4 implants
- The patient wants an optimal removable solution
- The patient wants to get the final solution faster
