Treatment
implant-retained denture (over-the-top prosthesis)
A removable denture that clicks onto usually two to four implants in the upper or lower jaw.
Treatment
An overdenture is a removable prosthesis that clips onto usually two to four implants in the upper or lower jaw. As a result, the prosthesis is much firmer than a conventional denture, yet remains easy to clean.
You will be referred by your dentist. We will assess your situation and take X-rays. Based on this, we will draw up a personalised treatment plan.
The implants are placed in the jaw under local anesthesia.
The implants will take root in the jawbone. In a bony structure, this takes longer.
Your own dentist will fit the permanent crown and carry out regular check-ups.
An overdenture is usually covered when the dentist cannot make a well-fitting denture. You then only pay your excess. For people with a full set of dentures, two implants in the lower jaw are covered by the basic insurance in selected cases.
If it is not reimbursed, the rate for placing two implants applies.
