Implant Overdenture: Snap-In Dentures
Two implants transform a loose lower denture. Here's how the system works and what it costs.
Dr. Ahmed Al-Rashid
Medical Director
The system
- 2–4 implants in the jaw
- Denture snaps onto abutments
- Removable for cleaning
- Stable like natural teeth while chewing
Cost in Dubai
- 2-implant overdenture: AED 15,000–25,000
- 4-implant overdenture: AED 25,000–40,000
- Full arch fixed (All-on-4): AED 55,000–90,000
Lifespan
- Implants: 25+ years
- Denture portion: 7–10 years, then replaced
Care
- Clean denture and implant tops daily
- Professional cleaning every 6 months
- Replace attachments every 2–3 years
When it's best
- Existing lower denture is loose
- Budget prohibits full-arch fixed bridge
- Older patients with stable health
- Need for removable solution
