Greater tissue coverage.

Implant-retained overdentures are a simple and cost-effective option for many patients. Implant-supported overdentures greatly assist retention, particularly in the mandibular arch.

Below are our main options to retain implant-supported overdentures:

Locator-retained or ball attachment overdenture

ZEST Anchors’ self-aligned LOCATOR overdenture attachments are designed with
customisable levels of retention and a low vertical profile for implants, bars and roots

Bar and clip-retained overdenture

Available in resilient (maximum two implants) forms. Resilient connections are most often used in mandibular applications and are both implant and tissue-borne. Rigid bar retained overdentures are commonly used in the maxilla and are implant-borne only.

Primary bar with secondary casting

Contains additional devices to improve and assist retention.
