Can you please explain what over dentures are, thanks

They are dentures ,that have a device that is inplanted in the gum to hold them in your mouth.. Some are removeable and some are not. This is my understanding!

They are very expensive. I would like them but not sure I can afford them.

The idea is that the dentures are fixed on implants so you never need to worry they will move while eating.

Yes very expensive.  At least $10,000/$20,000 depending on how many you get.  I think $20,000. for full mouth.  They are very good.  I can't afford them myself or I would get them.

How are they different from dental implants?

Never heard of them, but I would think having your own teeth maintained is superior to dentures of any kind.  JMO

I get ads from a dentist for dentures that use four implants to anchor the dentures.  His pitch on these dentures is that they are a non-surgical facelift.  Not sure I buy that:/

Dental implants are something like $3-3500 per tooth. If you need a half denture or full denture, upper or lower, you could have a veeery expensive mouth full of implants.

With this, you might have 2, 3 or 4 implants that dentures attach to. Much, much less expensive.

Thank you and I did not realize this is what I have, I had bad teeth from the get go, over zealous dentists that left my mouth full of root canals and and caps that did not hold.

In 2013 I found an amazing prostodentist who had his own practice and worked at a dental clinic at a local hospital. My implant work -- 4 on top and 2 on bottom was done at the clinic and all of the other work was done in his local office. The top 4 hold a permenant bridge and the bottom 2 hold a removable one. My teeth look amazing and I am thrilled with his work.

At the clinic the cost was a fraction of what it would of been thru a local dentist approx $800 per tooth as opposed to $2000-3000 plus.

The dentist is also a lovely caring man which helps my phobia.
