Dandy now offers authentic Zest Locator® overdenture attachment parts directly within the overdenture ordering workflow.

There are two core overdenture options:

  1. Overdenture without parts

    • Denture delivered with recessed housing spaces

    • Practice sources their own attachment components

  2. [New] Overdenture with Authentic Zest Locator parts

    • Includes per implant site: locator abutment, housing, retention insert, block out spacer

    • Price: $200 per implant site

    • $50 cost savings per implant site compared to direct Zest ordering

Please note:

  • Attachment parts surface automatically within the overdenture workflow for supported implant systems.

  • Parts must be ordered within the workflow, manual add ons are not supported after order submission.

  • Parts ship with the overdenture case.

 

Part Limitations: 

  • Dandy supports attachment parts only for acrylic overdentures 

  • Parts cannot be ordered with:

    • Printed overdentures

    • Metal mesh/framework selections

  • Only Locator attachments are supported at this time. Locator R-Tx and Locator Fixed are not currently supported.

  • Only implant systems currently supported will display attachment options.

    • If the implant system is not supported, parts will not appear in the workflow.

    • In those cases, the denture will be delivered with prepared housing spaces only. You are responsible for sourcing attachment components when parts are not selected.

 

Implant System Dependent Availability:

  • Parts availability varies by implant system, platform diameter, and cuff height.

  • We procure parts based on demonstrated demand, so supported systems will expand over time.
