Bar Overdentures

Bar-retained overdentures offer an alternative solution for toothless or nearly toothless patients as they offer more stability than a traditional denture.

The dental implant bar is attached to implants over the jawbone. There can be anywhere from 4 to 6 implants, depending on the individual cases and the extent of the bone loss in the patient’s jaw. The restorations, bar, or both have small clips that fix the teeth over the dental locator attachments. The overdenture on implants will provide more strength while eating, as it is more stable and less likely to shift under extreme pressure.

How does it work?

The implant bar overdenture offers a full set of fixed teeth over a non-removable metal bar fixed over four or six dental implants. This type of denture is appropriate for people with extensive bone loss that cannot have the standard All-on-4/ All-on-6 dental implant treatments. When bone loss is too great and regular bone grafting will not be sufficient, bar supported overdentures may be the solution for patients who have lost the majority of their teeth.

The restorations placed over the implants are fixed but can be removed if needed (for cleaning and/ or maintenance). They are shaped like a horseshoe and have the same look and functionality as natural teeth. At Dentaprime UK, London, they are created in our in-house laboratory.

The treatment with bar-supported implant overdenture includes the following components:

4/ 6 implants
Overdenture bar to ensure more support for the denture
Immediate snap-in bridge
Bridge renewal after the healing period
All needed medications and surgical materials during and post-treatment
Teeth extraction if needed and medically recommended

FAQ

Can I still have implants if I have gum disease (periodontitis)?

Having a gum disease does not necessarily mean you cannot have dental implants. When the gums start to recede, you also start losing bone underneath. The teeth become loose. We perform bone augmentation prior to the placement of the implants for people who lack jawbone.

Can I have a bar overdenture for the front teeth only?

If you have severe bone loss and bone grafting won’t be able to resolve it, dental implants can be inserted only to the side of your jaw.

The same condition applies if the bone is severely resorbed at the sides of the jawbone.

What is an overdenture with implants?

It is an overdenture that clip on dental implants using a non-removable bar to attach to. This type of fixed teeth solution is appropriate for patients with severe bone loss who have too resorbed jawbone beyond repair (for eg. patients that have been wearing a removable denture for 20 years).

How comfortable are the new teeth that I’m going to get?

The implant-supported overdentures do not slip or move and you don’t have to tend to them with adhesives. They can be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance and easily snapped back on.

What is the bar-retained overdenture cost?

The price for bar-supported implant overdenture in the UK starts from 6,990 for full mouth restoration at Dentaprime F3t. Get a free phone consultation to get information about the full dental implant cost at our Dentaprime clinic in East London.

Is the bar-retained overdenture a better solution than traditional dentures?

As this type of restoration is retained by both the natural jaw bone and implants rather than adhesive pastes, it offers a superior solution to tooth loss as opposed to removable dentures.
