Review this document before your appointment when possible. Your treating dentist must still explain the patient-specific treatment, benefits, material risks, alternatives—including no treatment—and answer your questions. Do not sign after receiving sedating medication.

2. What you are agreeing to

Proposed treatment

An overdenture is a denture that clips onto attachments on implants. You take it out to clean it. It is held far more securely than a conventional denture and does not need adhesive, but it still rests partly on your gums and it is not fixed in place.

How this differs from fixed implant teeth

  • It is removable. You take it out at night and to clean it. Fixed teeth stay in.
  • It usually covers more of the mouth. On the upper jaw it may still cover part of the palate, which some patients find affects taste and the feel of food.
  • It generally uses fewer implants and costs less than a fixed full-arch result.
  • Chewing force is usually lower than with fixed teeth.

Material risks and limitations

  • The clips or attachments wear out and are a routine, ongoing replacement cost — commonly every one to two years, sometimes sooner.
  • The denture will need relining or remaking over time as the gum and bone underneath change shape.
  • Sore spots, especially in the first weeks, and the need for several adjustment visits.
  • Speech changes and increased saliva at first; most patients adapt within weeks.
  • The denture can break, and an attachment can loosen or come off.
  • Implant failure, peri-implant infection, bone loss around an implant, or loss of an implant.
  • Food can still collect underneath. Daily cleaning of both the denture and the implant attachments is essential.

Reasonable alternatives

  • A fixed full-arch implant bridge, a conventional removable denture without implants, individual implants with crowns or bridges, or no treatment.
