Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The over bite can be corrected by slight modification in the dentures. If it cannot be restored by the dentures then it cannot be restored by the implants also. So consult a good prosthodontist and take an opinion and get it restored.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
