How Do Snap-On Dentures Work?
Implant-supported dentures (also called overdentures or snap-on dentures) attach to dental implants placed in the jawbone via snap-in attachments — ball, bar, or locator style. The denture clicks firmly onto the implant posts during the day and is removed each night for cleaning, making it far more stable than a conventional denture while being easier to maintain than a fixed prosthesis.
Boca offers a 2-implant overdenture (entry-level stability, most often for the lower arch where conventional dentures are hardest to stabilize), a 4-implant overdenture (maximum removable stability with better force distribution), and a bar-retained overdenture (implants connected by a custom metal bar for the highest stability — ideal for patients with limited dexterity). Existing dentures can often be retrofitted onto implants, significantly reducing the total cost.

Overdenture options at Boca
- 2-implant overdenture — entry-level stability, most often lower arch

Overdenture vs. All-on-4
- Overdenture: removable, lower cost, excellent stability vs. a conventional denture — good for most patients
- All-on-4: fixed and never removed, with maximum function and bone preservation, at higher cost
- Candidates often qualify even with some bone loss
- How many implants you need is confirmed with imaging (lower arch typically 2–4; upper typically 4)
