Overdentures

Secure, comfortable dentures that snap firmly into place with implant support

What is a Overdentures?

If you wear traditional dentures and struggle with slipping, discomfort, or difficulty eating, implant-retained overdentures offer a life-changing solution. Using 2–4 strategically placed implants, your dentures snap securely into place, providing the stability and confidence you've been missing. Unlike fixed bridges, overdentures can be removed for cleaning while still offering far superior retention compared to traditional dentures. Enjoy your favourite foods, speak clearly, and smile freely without worrying about your dentures moving. For many patients, overdentures are the perfect balance between security and convenience.

    You can still remove your overdentures for cleaning, making maintenance simple while enjoying the security of implant retention.

  • Single Arch

    Single Arch

    At Formula Implants, we are changing the approach to full-arch dentistry. Whether you need an All-on-4 or an All-on-6 for your upper or lower jaw, our goal is the same: a comfortable, natural-looking smile that you can enjoy immediately, with the gold-standard Formula Protocol ensuring every implant is placed with precision, safety, and long-term success. If your upper or lower teeth are missing, failing, or causing daily discomfort, a single arch implant treatment provides a complete reset for one jaw. All-on-4 uses four implants, suited to patients with a narrow smile line and good bone in the front of the mouth, providing up to ten teeth. All-on-6 adds extra implants for a fuller smile including molars and more stability, and is considered the gold standard for patients who want maximum function and a fully extended smile. Most patients leave with temporary teeth fitted on the same day, giving immediate function and confidence. For patients with severe upper jawbone loss, advanced options such as zygomatic and pterygoid implants anchor into stronger bone in the cheek or back of the jaw, often eliminating the need for complex bone grafts. Formula Implants has clinicians with specialist skills in this field, meaning patients don't need to travel between multiple practices.
