Loss of alveolar bone is a great entity to be worried about after loss of natural teeth. Overdenture is a treatment modality in means of alveolar bone preservation retention and stability of prosthesis by preserving the roots of the remaining teeth thereby increase the patients perception, acceptance and quality of life. It is the most commonly treatment modality for elderly patient with two or more teeth remaining in the either arch. The use of copings and precision attachments on the remaining teeth enhances the retention of the denture. Dentists have a responsibility to prevent tooth loss whenever possible and everything should be done to keep the patient away from an edentulous state. Preventive prosthodontics emphasizes upon the importance of procedures that can delay or rectify the future problems in prosthesis and the overdentures are the optimum method to achieve this requirement. In this present case report described the rehabilitation of a patient with few natural teeth present using tooth supported overdenture which restored the function and evades the social stigma, thereby improving the quality of life of the patient.
