A Smarter Way to Wear Dentures
Unlike traditional dentures that sit directly on the gums, an implant-supported overdenture is anchored to titanium implants placed in your jawbone. This added support:
- Keeps the denture from moving or lifting
- Reduces rubbing and sore spots
- Restores stronger chewing power
- Improves speech clarity
- Helps maintain jawbone volume and facial shape
You get the best of both worlds: implant stability plus easy removability for hygiene.
What Makes Implant-Supported Dentures Different?
Secured by Implants, Not Suction
Two to four implants act as firm anchors so your denture stays in place throughout the day.
Snaps In Easily, Removes Easily
Locator or bar attachments allow the denture to lock onto implants — no adhesives needed.
A Natural-Looking, Custom Design
Your new prosthesis is shaped, shaded, and crafted to complement your facial features.
Comfort You Can Feel Immediately
Patients notice a dramatic improvement in comfort and stability from the first day of use.
Available Implant-Supported Removable Options
• Locator Overdenture (“Snap-On Denture”)
A popular design that uses small implant attachments for strong retention and easy daily use.
• Bar-Retained Overdenture
A titanium bar connects to implants, and the denture clips onto the bar — excellent for patients needing extra stability.
• Implant-Stabilized Partial Prosthesis
For those who still have remaining natural teeth but want improved comfort and retention.
• Immediate Implant Overdenture
In select cases, implants and a temporary overdenture may be placed the same day teeth are removed.
Implant-Supported Denture vs. Implant-Supported Fixed Bridge
Both options use dental implants as a stable foundation, the difference is whether your replacement teeth are removable or permanently fixed in place.
- Implant-Supported Denture (this page): Removable by you for cleaning, typically needs fewer implants, and usually costs less upfront.
- Implant-Supported Fixed Bridge: Permanently attached, never removed by the patient, closest feel to natural teeth, but requires more implants and a higher upfront investment.
Many patients start with an implant-supported denture and are extremely happy with the results, while others prefer the fully fixed feel of a bridge. Dr. Aghbashian will walk you through both options, including our implant-supported fixed bridge, so you can choose confidently.

Average Implant-Supported Denture Cost & Financing in Glendale, CA
Cost depends on the number of implants placed and the type of attachment system used. As a general guide, a locator (snap-on) overdenture typically ranges from about $4,000 to $8,000 per arch, including implants, while a bar-retained overdenture typically ranges from about $6,000 to $12,000 per arch. This is generally more affordable than an implant-supported fixed bridge, while still offering far more stability than a traditional denture. We'll provide an exact quote after your consultation and 3D imaging.
