"So, have you ever wondered what an over denture is? Well, my name is Michelle, and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz, and I'm here to explain to you the difference on an over denture. Basically, an over denture is a a full upper denture with all of its teeth that goes over your implants. A lot of times; nine times out of ten if you've been prescribed to have an over denture that's what you're going to get. You're going to get an actual upper full denture with all of the teeth, and it clicks and clasps into your implants, and implants are basically screws that; another form or way of explaining implants are screws that screw into your jawbone, and then half of it is sticking out, so therefore, the denture can kinda' clip onto the implant, which which provides stability and strength, so therefore, you can function better with chewing, and eating, and talking correctly. So once again, my name is Michelle, and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz, and I just explained to you what an over denture is."
