What Are Snap-On Dentures?
Snap-On Dentures, also called overdentures or implant-stabilized dentures, are a special type of implant-supported denture that snaps or clips into place on top of dental implants. Snap-On Dentures are an affordable option that offer added stability and comfort for traditional denture wearers.
A Snap-On Denture looks like a full, removable denture with one major difference. The surface of the denture that normally rests against your gum tissue has built-in locators that “snap” or “clip” onto corresponding dental implants in your mouth.
A Snap-On Denture is removable. It essentially combines the affordability of a traditional denture with the reliability of fixed dental implants. Implant-stabilized dentures are an excellent investment for anyone who needs dentures but wants the added confidence of what dental implants have to offer.

Benefits of Snap-On Dentures
Wearing traditional dentures can be frustrating and uncomfortable. Especially if it slides throughout the day. By stabilizing it in one place with implants, you eliminate rubbing, chafing, and potential hot spots that are susceptible to infection. Knowing that your snap-on denture is secure makes it easier to speak and eat with an added level of confidence.
Our Snap-On Denture clients enjoy a brand new smile with:
- No rubbing or sore spots
- No messy denture adhesives
- Affordable pricing
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Improved diet, speech, and smiles
Snap-On Dentures vs. Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures have long been used as one of the most budget-savvy options for quickly replacing missing teeth. While extremely cheap, these prosthetics can make it difficult to eat the foods you love.
Conventional dentures are held in place by creating a suction against the roof of your mouth, or with lip, tongue, and cheek muscles on your lower jaw. Lower dentures especially tend to be harder to wear and more uncomfortable as a result. And in either case, the excessive bone loss causes the denture to feel looser than normal, which makes it even more challenging to stay in place without adhesives or denture paste.
By adding anywhere from 2-4 dental implants to secure your denture, you have better stability throughout the day whenever you’re speaking or eating. The prosthesis won’t rub or slip loose. And since it’s fixed onto the implants underneath it, you’ll never need to use messy adhesives.
Both types of dentures need to be removed at the end of the day.
