Complete mandibular dentures have a significantly lower success rate compared with complete maxillary dentures. Overdentures are feasible alternatives in many instances in attempting to achieve an optimal clinical result. The case of a 56‐year‐old female patient requiring prosthetic rehabilitation is discussed. A complete maxillary denture and a complete mandibular overdenture were constructed.
