Step 1

If you have lost all your teeth in one or both jaws, you can choose a permanently anchored dental implant bridge or a removable prosthesis that is connected to two or more dental implants. This is called an overdenture. This type of overdenture remains in place more firmly than a conventional removable prosthesis. For the most natural functioning solution, the permanently anchored dental implant bridge is the answer if and when the prerequisites are met.

Step 2

For a permanently anchored dental implant bridge, several dental implants are installed to form a good foundation. Because the dental implants are anchored in the jawbone, they stimulate the bone tissue and help to maintain healthy bone levels and facial structures.

An overdenture involves installing two or more dental implants that will be used as a secure foundation to attach the prosthesis.

Step 3

The abutments are attached to the dental implants and the bridge is fitted in place. All dental work is performed according to your prerequisites and wishes.




For the overdenture, either ball abutments or a small bar between the abutments are used. The prosthesis is fitted with corresponding clips underneath to help retain it on the implants and reduce denture movement.

Step 4

The dental implant bridge, or the overdenture, is now in place. It looks and functions like normal teeth. You can now eat whatever you like and laugh without having to worry about the prosthesis falling out.
