What are overdentures?
Overdentures are removable dental prosthetics that fit over a small number of remaining natural teeth or dental implants.

Overdentures can be made from acrylic, composite resins, or metal alloys.

The entire process can take several months, especially if implants need time to integrate with the jawbone.

How much do overdentures cost?
The cost varies depending on the number of implants, materials used, and geographical location. Generally, it ranges from a few thousand to several thousand dollars.
