How Much Do Snap-In Dentures Cost?
By Dr. Eastwood – Summerbrook Dental & Implants, Fort Worth, TX
One of the most common questions I hear from patients is, “How much do snap-in dentures cost?” Snap-in dentures, also known as implant-retained dentures, are a popular option for people who want more stability than traditional dentures but do not want the higher cost of fixed, permanent implant bridges. They are a great balance of comfort, function, and value.
Traditional dentures sit directly on your gums, which means they can slip or move when you eat or talk. Snap-in dentures are different because they are held in place by two to four dental implants placed in the jaw. The denture “snaps” onto the implants for a more secure fit. This makes eating and speaking easier, and it helps reduce the sore spots and slipping that many denture wearers experience.
The cost of snap-in dentures can vary based on several factors, including how many implants are needed, whether extractions or bone grafting are required, and the type of materials used. On average, snap-in dentures cost between $8,000 and $16,000 per arch. If both the upper and lower arches are treated, the total investment can range from $16,000 to $30,000.
Compared to traditional dentures, snap-in dentures offer many benefits. Because they are supported by implants, they also help slow down bone loss in the jaw, which is a common problem with regular dentures. Preserving your jawbone means your facial shape stays fuller and your denture fit stays more stable over time. This is an important long-term benefit that can save you from needing frequent adjustments or replacements.
At Summerbrook Dental & Implants, I use advanced 3D imaging to plan each case with precision. This ensures that the implants are placed in the best position for strength, comfort, and long-term success. Every patient’s situation is unique, so I always create a custom treatment plan designed around your health, budget, and goals.
I know cost is an important factor, which is why we also provide financing options to make treatment more manageable. Many patients find that while snap-in dentures require a bigger investment at the start, they actually save money in the long run. Traditional dentures often need repairs, relines, or replacements, while implant-retained dentures are designed to last for many years with the right care.
If you are frustrated with loose dentures or are looking for a more stable option, snap-in dentures may be the right choice for you.
