Removable Denture Components for Overdentures

When to Choose an Overdenture Solution

Implant-retained overdentures are an excellent option for patients seeking better stability than conventional dentures but who do not require (or cannot afford) a fully fixed restoration. Overdenture attachments provide retention while allowing patients to remove and clean their prosthesis, improving hygiene and long-term implant success.

Overdenture Components FAQ

What are overdenture components used for?

Overdenture components retain a removable denture on implants, improving stability, chewing efficiency, and patient comfort. Systems use low-profile attachments with replaceable retention inserts.

Which connection platforms are supported?

Surcam supplies overdenture solutions for Internal Hex (2.42/2.43) and compatible conical systems. Always match attachments and housings to the implant platform to ensure proper seating and retention.

How do I select cuff height and housing type?

Choose cuff height to match soft-tissue thickness and create a passive insertion path. Select metal housings for long-term durability or chairside housings when picking up attachments directly in the denture.

Are retention inserts replaceable?

Yes. Retention inserts are color-coded by strength and can be replaced chairside to maintain or adjust retention.

Do you offer torque specs and IFUs?

Yes. Each attachment is supplied with torque guidance and downloadable IFUs for proper placement and traceable documentation.

Can I use overdentures for full-arch restorations?

Yes. Overdenture attachments are ideal for two- or four-implant supported mandibular prostheses and can be used in maxillary overdenture cases when bone support allows.
