Implant dentures

Dentures that stay put.

If your denture slips — or you are facing the loss of several teeth — a few well-placed implants can lock a new smile in place.

Snap-in overdentures

Locked to implants, not floating on gums.

An overdenture snaps onto dental implants in your jaw rather than resting on your gums like a traditional denture — far better stability, no slipping, no messy adhesives. There are two main types. The difference is how the denture attaches.

Two designs

Same idea. Different attachment.

Simpler

Locator overdentures

Usually 2–4 implants

Each implant has a small snap-button attachment.
Matching inserts in the denture click onto them.
The more affordable of the two. Easy to clean.
Inserts are inexpensive to replace when they wear.
Less bulky for everyday wear.

Maximum hold

Bar-retained overdentures

A custom bar joins the implants

A thin metal bar connects the implants.
The denture clips onto the bar.
Joining the implants spreads chewing forces.
Helps when bone support is limited.
Often preferred for the upper jaw.

Which one is right for you? Locator overdentures are simpler and more budget-friendly. Bar-retained overdentures offer maximum stability but cost more and need a little extra cleaning under the bar. Both come out at home. Both chew far better than a conventional denture. A fixed hybrid (All-on-4) is the non-removable alternative.
