Overdentures
Overdentures are defined as any removable tooth replacement device that is inserted over
existing teeth or their remnants, replacing these teeth with false teeth. Prior to modern
dentistry, overdentures were very nearly the universal tooth replacement device since surgical
removal of teeth was painful, dangerous, and frequently impossible without modern anesthetics.
In those days, dentures were made to fit over the rotting stumps of decayed or broken teeth.
