Dental implants are an important investment in your oral health and overall wellness. We strive to provide you with affordable, accessible care without sacrificing quality or lasting results.
Snap-in dentures, also known as implant-retained dentures or overdentures, are a type of removable denture that securely clips onto dental implants. These implants are surgically placed into your jawbone, serving as a stable foundation for the dentures. Snap-in dentures offer enhanced stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures, significantly improving chewing ability and speech clarity.
Snap-in dentures are anchored in place by dental implants that are surgically placed in your jawbone. The dentures have special attachments that snap onto corresponding abutments (locators or studs) on the implants. This secure connection prevents the dentures from slipping or moving, providing a stable and comfortable fit.
Candidates for snap-in dentures typically include individuals with significant tooth loss who are looking for a more stable alternative to traditional dentures. Good candidates should have sufficient jawbone density to support dental implants, although bone grafting can be an option for those who do not. A consultation with our dental professionals at Apex Dental will help determine if snap-in dentures are the right choice for you.
Snap-in dentures offer numerous benefits, including:
The overall process for receiving snap-in dentures can vary depending on individual needs, including any preliminary procedures such as extractions or bone grafting. The surgical placement of implants typically requires several months of healing before the final dentures can be fitted and snapped into place. Your dental team at Apex Dental will provide you with a detailed timeline based on your personalized treatment plan.
Patients may experience some discomfort and swelling after the implant surgery, which can be managed with pain medication and proper aftercare. Once healed, snap-in dentures are designed for comfort and should not cause pain when worn properly.
Caring for snap-in dentures involves regular cleaning of both the dentures and the implant abutments. The dentures should be removed nightly for cleaning with a soft brush and denture cleaner, and the mouth and implant sites should be kept clean with gentle brushing and flossing. Regular dental check-ups are also crucial to maintain oral health and ensure the longevity of your dentures and implants.
Choosing Apex Dental for your snap-in dentures means selecting a team dedicated to providing personalized, high-quality care. Our state-of-the-art facility, experienced dental professionals, and commitment to patient satisfaction ensure that you receive the best possible treatment and results.

At Apex Dental, our snap-in denture pricing is published right on this page. A lower denture secured by 2 implants is $7,999, a 4-implant upper or lower denture is $11,999, and replacing both arches is $21,999. Extractions are priced separately. We believe patients deserve to see real numbers before they ever sit in the chair. Be sure to ask about our Thursday promotional discount when you call.
Yes. Every month, the first 4 snap-in denture cases booked on a Thursday receive a huge promotional discount. These spots are limited to four cases each month and they fill quickly, so call us at (813) 994-4200 to ask about availability.
Many dental insurance plans contribute toward the denture portion of treatment, while the implants themselves are often not covered. Every plan is different. Call our office at (813) 994-4200 and our team will verify your exact coverage before you commit to anything.
Like any dental treatment, snap-in dentures have trade-offs. The attachments that hold the denture in place wear over time and typically need replacement every one to two years. The dentures must also be removed nightly for cleaning, and while they are far more stable than traditional dentures, they are not fixed in place the way an implant bridge is. For most patients, the improved stability and chewing ability outweigh these considerations. If you would prefer a solution that never comes out, ask us about Teeth in a Day during your consultation.
Snap-in dentures clip onto implants and are removed daily for cleaning. All-on-4, which we offer as our Teeth in a Day treatment, is permanently fixed to four implants and is only removed by a dentist. Snap-in dentures have a lower upfront cost, while All-on-4 feels the closest to natural teeth. For the upper arch, Dr. Hassan generally recommends the fixed option, as it offers better value for the cost. Both treatments are provided at our Wesley Chapel office, and your consultation will determine which option best fits your jawbone, your budget, and your lifestyle.
We recommend removing your snap-in dentures at night. Your gums benefit from the rest, and nightly cleaning keeps both the dentures and the implant attachments healthy. Snapping them back in each morning takes only a few seconds.
Dr. Amr Hassan holds both Fellow and Master standing with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics, the two main credentialing bodies in implant dentistry. Master is the higher of the two levels at each organization. He is also a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, which recognizes dentists who complete extensive continuing education beyond dental school.
Shortly after you schedule your visit, you’ll receive a welcome email with your appointment details and a link to complete your new-patient paperwork. We ask that all forms and your appointment confirmation be completed at least 48 hours before your visit so we can reserve your time and be fully prepared when you arrive.
You can pay at the time of your visit, or you may choose to sign up for the membership special in advance. If you request more information, you’ll receive a text and email with instructions to enroll ahead of time so you can come prepared.
Yes. New members and verified existing patients receive immediate access to text our office and doctor directly, including after hours for urgent questions or guidance.
Your special includes a full dental exam, necessary X-rays, and a consultation with your doctor to review your oral health and any concerns. If you need treatment, we’ll explain your options, show you any X-rays or photos, and go over discounted fees before anything is done.
No. This offer was made for patients without insurance. If you do have insurance, we’ll still check your benefits and apply coverage when possible, while also honoring the special if your plan doesn’t cover exams or has frequency limitations.
Most visits take about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of X-rays needed and the questions you have.
No, cleanings are not part of the New Patient Special because every patient’s needs are different. If a standard cleaning is appropriate, we’ll review your discounted cost before moving forward. If a deeper gum-health cleaning is recommended, the doctor will show you exactly why with X-rays or photos and explain the fee clearly.
Sometimes, yes. If we have time available, we may be able to start treatment right away. If not, we’ll schedule your next visit and make sure your discounted pricing is applied.
Please bring a photo ID, any dental insurance card if you want us to verify coverage, and any recent X-rays if you have them, though new X-rays may still be required.
We ask for at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule to avoid a fee and keep access to the special pricing.
Yes. Children are welcome, and we’ll customize their exam and X-rays based on their age and comfort.
Yes. We offer a new patient appointment that includes a comprehensive dental exam and, when clinically appropriate, a professional teeth cleaning performed by a dental hygienist. The doctor determines the appropriate type of cleaning based on your exam and periodontal findings.
New patient exam and cleaning appointments are longer to allow time for a full dental exam, X-rays, gum evaluation with the doctor, and the appropriate dental hygienist appointment and cleaning when indicated.
In most cases, yes. Same day teeth cleaning is typically completed during the new patient visit when a preventive cleaning is appropriate and all pre-appointment requirements are met.
Yes. Because this is a longer exam and cleaning appointment, we require firm confirmation and completion of new patient paperwork at least two days before the appointment.
Completing paperwork in advance allows the doctor to review your medical and dental history, and our insurance coordinator to provide a complementary benefits evaluation and an accurate estimate for the visit.
During your exam, we assess gum health and determine whether a preventive, semi-annual dental cleaning, or a periodontal teeth scaling cleaning is appropriate.
If gingivitis or more advanced gum disease is present, the doctor may recommend scaling, periodontal therapy, or other treatment instead of a routine preventive cleaning.
Laser deep cleaning is an advanced periodontal treatment used in selected cases to reduce bacteria and inflammation when gum disease is present. It is recommended only if clinically indicated.
Preventive (routine) cleanings are typically recommended every six months. The doctor may recommend more frequent cleanings depending on your periodontal status and individual oral health needs.
We schedule new patient exam and cleaning appointments by reservation. While we do not guarantee walk in dental cleaning, we make every effort to accommodate urgent needs when availability allows.
