This patient's lower complete denture's retention is substantially improved using two implants, implant bar, and an overdenture.
Two implants right after second stage surgery to
expose top of the implants and to attach healing abutments.
Impression. Both denture bearing tissue impression and
implant position impression are made together.
Model faithfully replicating patient's edentulous ridge and
implants.
Plastic Harder bar pattern is positioned onto the implants.
Portion of the plastic pattern that's nearest soft tissue will
be trimmed further to prevent soft tissue over growth.
Two implant bar fitted onto the cast.
Picture demonstrating how the bar fits well within the confines of the mandibular denture.
This exact bar location and shape is critical in preserving
the natural contour of the denture.

be replaced with gum colored acrylic.
The implant bar connected to implant analogs.
