Implant‑supported dentures, sometimes called implant overdentures or hybrid bridges, replace multiple missing teeth by anchoring a denture to dental implants. Removable overdentures attach to implants via locator snaps or bar clips and can be taken out for cleaning. Fixed hybrid dentures screw into four or more implants and stay in place 24/7 — only a dentist removes them for maintenance. Both options deliver improved function and prevent bone loss.
Implant-supported dentures may not be recommended for patients with uncontrolled medical conditions, active gum disease, or insufficient bone volume without grafting. A clinical evaluation is needed to determine suitability.
Patients choose our implant denture team for clear treatment planning, consistent outcomes, and reliable support before and after care.
Digital 3D imaging, guided implant placement, and sedation options support accurate, comfortable treatment with experienced clinical oversight.
Tooth shape, size, and shade are selected to match facial features. Hybrid restorations use high-quality materials for a natural, balanced look.
Most PPO plans are accepted, with financing options available to spread costs over time. Our team explains coverage and payment details clearly.

Once patients understand the differences between implant-supported and traditional dentures, the next step is choosing the implant denture style that best fits their needs.
A full‑arch of teeth supported by four strategically placed implants. Often called “Teeth‑in‑a‑Day,” this fixed hybrid option allows immediate loading so you leave surgery with a new smile. Great for those wanting fast results and maximum stability.
Also known as a removable overdenture, it attaches to two to six implants using locator snaps. Provides excellent stability while allowing the prosthesis to be removed at home for easy cleaning. An affordable choice for improved function and hygiene.
Screw‑retained on four or more implants, a fixed hybrid bridge functions like a permanent set of teeth. Only your dentist removes it for maintenance. Ideal if you desire natural aesthetics and high chewing efficiency without daily removal.
| Option | Best For | Removal | Stability |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-on-4 | Fast full-arch replacement | Dentist only | Maximum |
| Snap-In Denture | Easy home cleaning | Patient | High |
| Fixed Hybrid | Permanent-feel solution | Dentist only | Maximum |
| Option | Implant Count | Removable? | Typical Cost Range* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snap-On Denture | 2 Implants | Yes (Daily) | $4,000 – $8,000 |
| Bar-Retained Denture | 3–4 Implants | Yes (Daily) | $6,000 – $12,000 |
| All-on-4 (Hybrid) | 4 Implants | No (Fixed) | $15,000 – $25,000 |
*Cost ranges vary based on bone condition, materials, and clinical needs. A consultation is required for an exact estimate. Schedule a consultation.
Traditional removable dentures can slip, click, or cause sore spots because they rest on the gums. Implant-supported dentures anchor to the jawbone, improving chewing ability, speech clarity, and overall comfort. By transferring forces to the bone, they also help maintain facial structure and reduce bone loss over time. Clinical research has consistently shown that patients with implant-supported dentures experience improved function and higher oral health–related quality of life compared to conventional dentures.
Clean around implants twice daily using a soft toothbrush and implant-safe toothpaste. Removable overdentures should be detached daily for gentle brushing and soaking in a denture cleaner. Fixed hybrid bridges require floss threaders or water flossers to clean beneath the restoration. Regular implant maintenance visits every six months allow your dental team to monitor bone levels and service attachments or screws as needed.
Find quick answers to the most common questions our patients ask.
Implant‑supported dentures are prosthetic teeth anchored to dental implants rather than resting on the gums alone. Overdentures snap onto implants and can be removed at home; fixed hybrid dentures are screw‑retained and stay in place until removed by your dentist.
