What Is It

About Snap-In Implant Dentures

Snap-In Dentures (also called Click-In Dentures or Overdentures) are a cost-effective alternative to traditional dentures that utilizes strategically placed implants for added retention. Snap-In Dentures are removable by the patient for easy cleaning, but offer superior stability when compared to conventional dentures.

Dental implants can eliminate the need for the palate portion of top dentures (the part that covers the roof of the mouth), thus helping to reduce gagging sensations and diminished ability to taste food. Snap-In Dentures can also make a loose lower denture more stable, keeping it from floating around in your mouth.

Snap-In Dentures can help to increase your confidence, comfort, and function, thereby greatly increasing your quality of life.

Protecting Your Implant Long-Term: Peri-Implantitis

Dental implants do not get cavities -- but the tissue surrounding them can develop peri-implantitis, a bacterial infection that destroys the bone supporting the implant. Left untreated, peri-implantitis is the leading cause of late implant failure.

Our hygiene team monitors implant sites at every recall visit. If early peri-implantitis signs appear, we intervene before bone loss becomes significant. Learn about our periodontal treatment approach.

Independent & Doctor-Owned

Smile Science is owned entirely by Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke -- two practicing dentists with no outside investors, no DSO involvement, and no private equity. The doctors making your treatment decisions are the same people whose names are on the practice.

Surgery is performed by Dr. Dawson or Dr. Barrett depending on your case -- not a rotating staff surgeon from a chain.

Got Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

An upper Snap-In Denture requires at least 4 implants. A lower Snap-In Denture requires at least 2 implants. The more implants you have, the more stable your Snap-In Denture will generally be.
At Smile Science Dental Spa, the cost to replace a full lower arch of teeth with a denture supported by four dental implants is $12,499. For a full cost breakdown of all our dental implant procedures, visit our Cost of Dental Implants page.
In many cases, yes! We’ll just need to see you for a consultation, during which we will do a 3D CBCT scan of your jaw to see if you have enough bone to support dental implants.
No, we want to allow time for your implants to integrate with your jawbone. This is what makes your implants truly stable. We typically wait between 4 and 6 months before attaching to your Snap-In Denture.
Yes, Snap-In Implant Dentures are much more secure than dentures and don’t require any adhesive! We are also able to increase the retention with stronger inserts if you prefer a tighter fit.
Typically 1-2 times per year, but this will depend on a number of factors so our doctor will be able to tell you a more precise answer for your unique case.
Yes, any oral prosthetic will get some amount of food underneath it. The great thing about Snap-In Implant Dentures is how easy they are to clean. Just take them out, clean your denture, gums, and implants, and snap them back in!
Yes. Having removable implant dentures makes cleaning them very easy. Just take them out, clean your denture, gums, and implants, and snap them back in!
Some patients may experience very slight rocking with 2 lower implants. Placing 4 implants on your bottom Snap-in Denture will significantly help prevent rocking.
Yes, implants can fail and there are many factors that influence a failure. Infection, hygiene, medical conditions, smoking, and diabetes can all be major risk factors. It is recommended that you follow our post operative instructions to ensure that you do everything in your power to have a successful implant therapy.
Generally, 4-7 days is sufficient. With that said, there is always the chance of bruising and swelling. The longer you can take off the better.
Advertised prices vary significantly in what they include. Some quotes cover only implant fixtures and arch fabrication. Extractions, alveoloplasty, CBCT imaging, sedation, and provisional restorations may be billed separately, and not all “zirconia” arches use the same fabrication standard. Our pricing includes your 3D CBCT planning scan, surgical placement, standard extractions, and your final restoration. Before comparing prices, ask any provider for a written itemized list of what is and is not included.
Warranty terms vary widely between practices. Many are not provided in writing until after treatment begins. Before committing, ask to see the written warranty document: what failures are covered, what maintenance is required to keep it valid, and what happens if the practice closes or you relocate. Our 10-year fixture warranty is manufacturer-backed and our 5-year prosthetic warranty covers fit, fracture, and fabrication defects. Both are provided in writing before your first appointment.
For many patients the underlying cause is not hygiene. It is oral chemistry. Acid from reflux, diet, mouth breathing, dry mouth, or systemic conditions like diabetes continuously demineralizes enamel and attacks restorations. Individual repairs cannot solve a whole-system problem. Full-arch implants replace the variable entirely, and because complex systemic cases require more thorough pre-surgical assessment, Dr. Dawson evaluates every case with this in mind before recommending a treatment path.
No. Smile Science is 100% owned by Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke, two practicing dentists. There are no outside investors, no private equity involvement, and no management company directing clinical decisions. Both owners practice here full time. In a DSO or corporate chain, treatment recommendations can be influenced by investor returns, production quotas, or rotating providers who do not know your history. At Smile Science, the people making your treatment decisions are the same people whose names are on the practice. They are the doctors you will see at your appointment.
