    Detailed Answer

    Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

    An overdenture fits over supporting structures. In this video, Dr. Bashi describes a denture connected to implants using specially designed attachments.

    Once the implants are ready for use, the denture is made or adapted to connect to them. This can improve retention and reduce movement compared with a conventional denture.

    The denture, attachments, and surrounding tissues still need cleaning and professional checks. Attachment wear or changes in fit may require maintenance.
