Why India for dental?

Because in India you can get all the treatments you can think off more than twice as cheap as it is at home, and you can get these cheap dental treatments whilst you are on holiday!

An overdenture is a removable bridge designed for patients who have experienced a great deal of bone loss, usually due to gum disease resulting in missing and loose teeth.

An esthetically pleasing bridge can be made by reducing the top portions of the remaining teeth and covering the root structure with individual restorations. These teeth, in turn, are covered by a removable plastic appliance—the overdenture—which they help support. Although this is a more expensive treatment than a conventional full denture, it provides a much stronger biting surface and considerable control over aesthetics.
If you have lost most of your teeth and are thinking about having the rest extracted and obtaining a full denture, consider an overdenture. Even saving just a few good roots can make a big difference in the way you chew.
