All You Need to Know About Specific Types of Dentures
Overdentures
Overdentures are a type of dental prosthetic that is supported by dental implants or rests on one or more natural teeth. You can think of it as a denture that covers them. It’s mostly used by denture wearers who have lost most of their teeth.
What is a Hybrid Implant Denture: Overview
You can think of hybrid dentures as being a cross between dentures and implants. It’s a good compromise for those wanting something fixed like implants, but without putting in implants for each tooth.
What to Know About Snap-In Dentures
Snap-in dentures use dental implants as a base, on which the denture can simply “snap-on.” These offer a good mix between the stability of implants and the use of dentures.
