About Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures (also called snap-in or overdentures) combine the stability of implants with the affordability of dentures. Two to four implants are placed in the jawbone, and your denture snaps securely onto ball or bar attachments. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on gums and often slip, implant-supported dentures lock firmly in place for eating, speaking, and laughing with confidence. They can be removed for cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant-Supported Dentures

How much do snap-in dentures cost in Houston?

Snap-in (implant-supported) dentures in Houston cost between $5,000 and $15,000 per arch. The cost depends on the number of implants (2 vs 4), attachment type (ball vs bar), and whether you need a new denture or can modify your existing one. Two-implant overdentures start around $5,000-$8,000 while four-implant bar-retained dentures cost $10,000-$15,000. This is significantly less than fixed All-on-4 solutions.

What is the difference between snap-in dentures and All-on-4?

Snap-in dentures are removable—you take them out to clean. All-on-4 prosthetics are permanently fixed and can only be removed by a dentist. Snap-in dentures cost less ($5,000-$15,000 vs $15,000-$30,000 per arch) and require fewer implants (2-4 vs 4-6). However, All-on-4 feels more like natural teeth and doesn't need to be removed. Your Houston implant dentist can help you decide which is best for your needs and budget.

Can my existing dentures be converted to snap-in dentures?

In many cases, yes. If your current dentures are in good condition and fit well, your Houston dentist can modify them to snap onto implants by adding locator attachments. This can save $1,000-$3,000 compared to fabricating new dentures. However, if your dentures are worn or poorly fitting, new implant-specific dentures will provide better results and a more comfortable fit.

How long do implant-supported dentures last?

The implants themselves can last a lifetime. The denture portion typically needs replacement every 7-15 years due to normal wear. The locator attachments (the snap-in connectors) need replacement every 1-2 years at a cost of about $50-$150 per attachment—a quick, in-office procedure. With proper care, implant-supported dentures are a long-lasting and cost-effective tooth replacement solution.
