An overdenture is a removable denture that fits over remaining tooth roots or dental implants. It uses those supports to improve retention (how well it stays in) and stability (how much it rocks). It is commonly used for people who have lost many teeth but still have select roots or can receive implants. It can be made for the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both.
