A conventional denture rests on your gums and relies on suction, pressure, and paste to stay in place. Implant-supported dentures snap onto dental implants anchored in your jaw. They hold firm through meals and conversations, and they come out at night for cleaning. Dr. Sanjabi handles the dental implants and the denture himself, all in one office.
Implant-supported dentures are the step up from that. They are for people who:
- Wear a lower denture that lifts when they chew or speak
- Use adhesive paste every day and still deal with movement
- Have been told a full fixed arch isn’t in the budget right now
- Want the stability of dental implants without the cost of a fully fixed restoration
- Had a denture made years ago that fit then but doesn’t fit now
You don’t have to choose between comfort and what you can afford. Implant-supported dentures sit between a conventional denture and a full All-on-X, and they close much of the gap in stability at an affordable price.
How Implant-Supported Dentures Work
A snap-on denture, also called an overdenture or implant-retained denture, attaches to a small set of dental implants placed in your jawbone. The dental implants act as anchors. The denture clicks onto them and stays in place until you remove it yourself.
2 to 4
Two to four dental implants are typically all it takes for a lower arch. The upper arch may use a few more. Dr. Sanjabi evaluates your case and tells you exactly what is needed at your free consultation.
01
The implants go in as anchors
A small set of dental implants is placed in your jawbone, where they bond in and act as the anchor points your denture will hold on to.
02
The denture clicks onto them
Your denture snaps onto the anchors and stays in place until you take it out yourself. No paste, no waiting for suction to hold.
03
It comes out at night to clean
Eat without worrying, talk without holding your breath, and take it out at night to clean it, just like a regular denture.

A conventional denture loses fit over time because the jawbone underneath it keeps shrinking once teeth are gone. Dental implants stimulate the bone and slow that process. That’s why snap-on dentures tend to hold their fit longer.
Why Patients Choose Dr. Sanjabi for
Snap-On Dentures.
The implants and the denture, designed together
A snap-on denture only holds if the dental implants and the denture are matched precisely. At many practices a surgeon places the implants while an outside lab makes the denture, and that gap is where the fit goes wrong. Dr. Sanjabi places the dental implants and makes the denture himself, so the anchors and the denture that clicks onto them are planned as one.
A shorter surgery, done in-house
A snap-on case usually needs just two to four dental implants, a simpler procedure than a full fixed arch. Dr. Sanjabi places them right here, with IV sedation available if you’d rather sleep through it.
An honest answer on which option fits
Snap-on sits between a conventional denture and a fixed All-on-X. Dr. Sanjabi lays out all three against your bone and your budget and tells you straight which one makes sense, with no push toward the priciest.

“I Was Told I’ve Lost Too Much Bone”
If a previous provider told you that you aren’t a candidate for dental implants because of bone loss, bring that conversation with you when you come in. A second opinion is reasonable, and Dr. Sanjabi sees complex cases regularly.
Bone grafting before implant placement is an option for many patients who were turned away elsewhere, and it’s handled in-house. When standard dental implants aren’t an option, Dr. Sanjabi also has extensive experience with advanced techniques, including zygomatic, pterygoid, and transnasal implants, also handled in-house.

What Implant-Supported Dentures Cost
Implant-supported dentures are a real investment compared to a conventional denture, and a more affordable entry point than a fully fixed arch. Many patients finance them, which spreads the cost into a monthly amount that's easier to plan around.

Financing Available:
Your exact cost and monthly options are walked through at your free consultation
Additional costs may apply for sinus lifts, IV sedation, or dental implants beyond 4 per arch.
Backed With Ongoing Care

Questions About Snap-On Dentures
How many dental implants do I need?
A lower arch typically uses two to four. The upper arch tends to need more because upper bone is less dense. Dr. Sanjabi evaluates your bone at your free consultation and tells you exactly what is needed for your case.
Can I eat normally with implant-supported dentures?
Much more normally than with a conventional denture. You can eat most foods without worrying about slippage. Very hard or crunchy foods still call for some care, but the limitation is far less than with a traditional lower plate.
Do they come out at night?
Yes. You remove them for cleaning each night and put them back in the morning. This is the difference between a snap-on overdenture and a fixed All-on-X restoration, which stays in permanently.
What is the difference between snap-on dentures and All-on-X?
All-on-X is a fixed restoration that stays in all the time, like natural teeth. Snap-on dentures are removable. All-on-X uses more dental implants and costs more. Snap-on dentures are a strong middle option: far better stability than a conventional denture, at a lower price than a fully fixed arch.
Is the surgery complicated?
Placing two to four dental implants is a shorter and simpler procedure than a full arch. Dr. Sanjabi does it in-house, and IV sedation means you can be fully asleep for the whole procedure if you prefer.
