How Implant‑Supported & Premium Dentures Work
Placement
Small titanium posts are surgically positioned in the jawbone. These implants act like replacement tooth roots, creating a strong foundation to hold your denture securely in place.
Attachment
Once the implants have healed and fused with the bone, a premium denture designed to match your smile is attached to the implants. This connection makes your dentures far more stable than traditional removable ones.
Enjoy
With the denture locked onto the implants, you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence. The added stability prevents slipping or shifting, giving you a natural look and feel every day.
Denture Options Built Around You
Snap‑in implant dentures use small attachments on 2 to 4 implants in the lower jaw and 4 or more in the upper jaw. They click into place so you can speak and eat without slipping or pastes.
Premium conventional dentures are crafted for those who are not choosing implants. We use precise impressions, high‑quality acrylics, and layered teeth for a natural smile and comfortable bite.
Common Questions About Snap‑In And Premium Dentures
How long does a dental implant last?
No. We provide a temporary denture so you are never without a smile.
How many implants do I need for a lower overdenture?
Two implants are the minimum for improved stability, while four provide added balance.
Does an upper overdenture still cover the palate?
Often we can reduce or remove the palate coverage when implants support the denture, which improves taste and speech.
How long do the attachments last?
Metal housings are durable, while the small nylon retentive caps are replaceable parts. We show you how they work and keep spares on hand.
What if I decide later to move to a fixed full‑arch bridge?
Many patients start with an overdenture and later convert to a fixed solution by adding implants. We will design today with tomorrow in mind.

From Placement To Snap‑In: The Treatment Flow
- Implant day: Using a surgical guide, implants are placed in positions that maximize strength and comfort. Most patients do very well with local anesthesia. You will leave with a temporary denture adjusted for the healing phase.
- Healing: Over several weeks the implants bond with bone. We check your fit and perform soft relines as needed.
- Attachment visit: Locator housings or a bar are connected. We process the denture to receive the attachments, test retention, and fine‑tune your bite. You will feel a firm click when it seats.
Daily Care And Long‑Term Maintenance
- Remove and clean your snap‑in denture nightly with a non‑abrasive cleanser.
- Brush around the implants and use a water flosser along the gumline.
- Retentive caps inside the denture wear over time; many patients replace them once or twice a year to keep the hold secure.
- Plan a checkup and professional cleaning every 6 months to maintain tissue health and attachment strength.
