Overdenture with Bar please help! ive researched over and over

[Bluestone]

Hi I am on schedule to get an overdenture with bar attachment. I did want to for all on 4 but was told by my dentist this is a better option for me due to less bone at the back and where my nerves run, I had a ct cone scan.

My hesitation is I didn't want something I could remove since I was able to afford the all on 4 I hoped for an unremoveable appliance unless in the dentist chair of course! Im confused I am of the impression an overdenture looks the same as a normal denture as in aesthetically? I have no idea! my dentist said he could cut it back but will I still end up with a bulky denrure? Will the bar be attached to the denture at the dentist ..Looking for any info possible to help me with my choice. Im scheduled for implant surgery 4 top 4 bottom in 2 weeks! I was also told I cant wear my current denture for atleast 2 days as it will put pressure on newly drilled implants and stitches....majour fear walking out wirh no teeth! not sure i can two days is along time for me i already suffer high anxiety... Any information much appreciated xxx

every case is different. ask your dentist.

Yes I definitely understand every case is different but I guess I am after information from others who have had a bar implant supported overdenture.

just their personal experience obviously understanding the fact my experience could be completely different.

Hello again guys ???Has anyone at all had an overdenture supported by implants???? I cant grasp that wouldnt all on 4 be better as you would have the implants anyway? just looking for anyone who's had experience getting an overdenture and if maybe for some reason were not suitable for all on 4. ??
