What are snap-on dentures?

Snap-on dentures — also called implant-retained dentures or click dentures — are removable dentures that clip onto dental implants placed in your jawbone. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on your gums and rely on suction, snap-on dentures are anchored securely to implants using precision attachments.

The result? A denture that stays firmly in place when you eat, speak and laugh — without adhesive, without slipping, without embarrassment.

Snap-on dentures vs. conventional dentures

No slipping or shifting

The implant attachments hold your denture firmly in place. You can eat, talk and smile with complete confidence.

No denture adhesive needed

Forget messy adhesive creams and powders. Snap-on dentures click into place — simple, clean and secure.

Eat normally again

Bite into an apple, enjoy a steak — snap-on dentures restore much of the biting force you had with natural teeth.

Preserves your jawbone

Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing. This keeps your facial structure intact.

Easy to clean

Snap-on dentures can be removed daily for cleaning, just like conventional dentures — but they stay firmly in place when you wear them.

Long-lasting solution

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The denture itself may need replacement after 10–15 years, but the implants remain.

How many implants do I need?

The number of implants depends on your jaw and the type of snap-on denture:

Lower jaw

Minimum 2 implants for a stable snap-on denture. This is the most common and cost-effective option for the lower jaw.

Upper jaw

We recommend 4 implants for the upper jaw to provide optimal stability, as the upper jaw bone is less dense than the lower.

During your free consultation, we assess your bone structure with a 3D scan and advise on the ideal number of implants for your situation.

Treatment steps for snap-on dentures

1

Free consultation + 3D scan

We examine your jaw using our CBCT 3D scanner, discuss your options and provide a detailed treatment plan with costs.

2

Implant placement

The implants are placed under local anaesthesia. The procedure typically takes 30–90 minutes depending on the number of implants.

3

Healing period (3–6 months)

The implants integrate with your jawbone. During this time you can wear a temporary denture. Our lab begins crafting your permanent snap-on denture.

4

Snap-on denture fitting

Once the implants are stable, your custom snap-on denture is fitted with precision attachments. You leave with a secure, comfortable smile.

Snap-on denture costs at AltaDent

Each implant costs €1,450 all-in at AltaDent — including the implant, abutment, 3D scan and all follow-up appointments. The total cost of a snap-on denture depends on the number of implants needed and the type of denture.

Because we have our own in-house laboratory, we can offer the entire treatment at significantly lower costs than practices that outsource their lab work.

Supplementary dental insurance may partially cover the implants and denture. We provide a detailed cost overview during your free consultation.

Can my existing denture be converted?

In many cases, yes. If your current denture is in good condition, we can place implants and adapt your existing denture with snap-on attachments. This saves the cost of a completely new denture. We assess this during your consultation.

Frequently asked questions — snap-on dentures Amsterdam

What is the difference between a snap-on denture and a regular denture?
A regular denture rests on your gums and is held in place by suction. A snap-on denture clips onto implants in your jawbone, providing far superior stability. You can eat, speak and laugh without worrying about slipping.
Is the implant procedure painful?
The implants are placed under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort and swelling in the days after are normal and manageable with standard painkillers.
Am I a suitable candidate for snap-on dentures?
Most adults with sufficient jawbone are suitable candidates. We assess your bone structure with a 3D scan during your free consultation. If bone volume is insufficient, bone grafting may be an option.
How long does the entire treatment take?
From implant placement to final snap-on denture fitting, the process typically takes 4–7 months. The majority of this time is the healing period during which the implants integrate with your jawbone.
How do I maintain my snap-on denture?
Remove the denture daily for cleaning with a soft brush and denture cleaner. Clean the implant attachments with an interdental brush. We provide detailed care instructions at your fitting appointment.
