Implant-supported dentures, also called snap-in dentures or overdentures, are removable dentures anchored by two to four implants. Attachments on the implants click into housings in the denture, so it holds firmly while you eat and talk, then unclips at night for cleaning. Cost generally runs $6,000 to $15,000 per arch.
The lower jaw is where this changes lives. A conventional lower denture has no palate to seal against and a shrinking ridge to sit on, so it floats no matter how much adhesive goes under it. Two implants in the front of the lower jaw, where bone persists longest, are usually enough to stop that movement completely. Our comparison with traditional dentures covers the practical difference in chewing force and daily life.
Compared with fixed All-on-4, snap-in dentures cost roughly half to a third and are far easier to clean, since you take them out. The tradeoff is that they're still removable and still tissue-borne in part, so chewing force sits below a fixed bridge. For patients with severe bone loss, they also need less bone than any other implant option, which sometimes makes them the only route that avoids extensive grafting.
Technician insight
Patients often arrive assuming fixed is automatically better and are surprised when we recommend removable. If cleaning under a fixed bridge isn't something you'll realistically keep up with, a snap-in denture will serve you better over ten years than a fixed bridge with inflamed tissue under it.
