What snap-on dentures cost
At Omega, a snap-on, implant-supported denture is $8,500. That covers the implants that anchor it and the denture that clips on top. Your exact cost depends on how many implants your jaw needs (usually two to four per arch), whether any teeth must be extracted first, and whether you need a bone graft to support the implants. We give you a full written breakdown at your consultation so there are no surprises.
What the price includes
A snap-on denture has two parts: the implants placed in the jaw and the removable denture with attachments that snap onto them. The number of implants, the attachment system, and the material of the denture all affect the total. Because the denture snaps off for cleaning, upkeep is simple, and the attachments are replaced periodically as part of normal maintenance.
Snap-on vs. traditional dentures
A traditional denture rests on the gums and relies on suction or adhesive, which is why many people find it slips when eating or talking. A snap-on denture locks onto implants, so it stays secure, lets you bite with far more force, and helps preserve the jawbone the implants sit in. It costs more up front than a conventional denture, but most patients find the stability worth it, and it avoids the bone loss that makes conventional dentures fit worse over time.
Financing snap-on dentures
You do not have to pay all at once. We offer financing through Cherry, Affirm, and Sunbit, with plans starting around $95 a month, plus an in-house membership plan for uninsured patients. Whether your plan pays anything toward the denture portion depends on the policy, so we verify your benefits before treatment and give you your share in writing.
Are you a candidate?
Most people missing all or most of the teeth in an arch are candidates, as long as there is enough bone to hold the implants or enough to build with a graft. If you already wear a full denture and are tired of it moving, you are likely a good fit. A consultation with 3D imaging tells us exactly how many implants you need and confirms your price.
Who Places the Implants
The implants that hold a snap-on denture are placed by our oral surgeons. Dr. Jonathan Rosenstein is board certified and a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Dr. Mohsen Khobyari has been placing implants for more than 20 years and has done over 10,000 of them.
Both surgical and restorative phases happen at 106 W Gray St in Midtown, so you are not sent across town between the surgery and the denture. Patients come to us from Montrose, River Oaks, the Heights, Downtown, EaDo and the Museum District, and we are open Monday through Saturday. Call (713) 322-7474 to find out how many implants your case would need.
Different Types of Dentures Available
If you are looking for the best dentures, then you will have to consider your personal dental needs and the types of dentures available. There are a number of options to help with correcting your teeth back to a healthier and more comfortable bite.
How Does Implant-Supported Denture Work?
An implant that is used to support a denture is similar to one that is used to support an individual cap or crown, except that it serves as the anchor for an entire denture instead of a single tooth. If you are interested in an implant-supported denture, our dentist will first perform a thorough examination to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure. The dentist will examine your jaw and gum structures to determine whether an implant can be placed in a manner that will sufficiently support the denture. If your jaws and gums are healthy, our doctor will discuss installing an implant-supported denture in your upper or lower jaw, or both.
The implants are secured directly into the bone of the patient’s jaw. They have a clip or special attachment that snaps right onto dentures that have been fashioned or adapted to fit into this attachment. Most patients report that any discomfort associated with this procedure is minimal, and lasts for only a short period.
These special attachments make it much easier to settle the denture into your mouth each morning. At night you simply pop out the denture and clean it as you would any other denture.
Frequently asked
How much do snap-on dentures cost in Houston?
At Omega Dental Specialists, an implant-supported snap-on denture is $8,500, which includes the anchoring implants and the denture. Your exact cost depends on how many implants you need, any extractions, and whether you need a bone graft.
Are snap-on dentures cheaper than fixed implant teeth?
Usually, yes. A snap-on denture ($8,500) uses fewer implants than a fixed full-arch All-on-4 restoration (from $25,000 per arch), so it costs less up front, though it is removable rather than permanently fixed.
Do snap-on dentures stay in place?
Yes. They clip firmly onto dental implants, so they do not slide or need adhesive the way a traditional denture does. You remove them yourself for cleaning and snap them back in.
Can I finance snap-on dentures?
Yes. We offer financing through Cherry, Affirm, and Sunbit from about $95 a month, plus an in-house membership plan for uninsured patients. Whether your plan pays anything toward the denture portion depends on your policy, and we verify that before treatment.
