Implant Retained Overdentures
Implant retained overdentures are a little better than a traditional denture as it receives some support from dental implants. They use two or more implants to provide support however, you might get some sore spots. Occasional relining of the denture is required because it mainly relies on your gums and bone for support and also since the bone structure changes over time. It’s better than a “no support traditional denture”, but still moves around and is not as stable as any of other options.
