Snap-On Dentures in Wilmington
Snap-On Dentures in Wilmington— Implant-Supported Overdentures
Snap-on dentures at our Wilmington office run from $10,000 for the two-implant option to $14,000 for the four-implant option, and that price includes a brand-new, metal-based implant denture plus all the surgical and post-operative steps — no surprise add-ons. They are a denture that clicks onto dental implants instead of resting on your gums, so they stay put when you eat and talk, skip the adhesive, and still come out for cleaning at night.
How they work
We place a small number of implants in the jaw, and the underside of the denture has matching attachments that snap onto them and lock in. The result is a denture that does not rock, slide, or lift when you bite into something, but that you can still remove to clean, which keeps day-to-day care simple.
Two implants or four
The two-implant option, at about $10,000, is the more affordable route and gives a solid, stable hold. The four-implant option, at about $14,000, adds stability and chewing strength. Which one fits comes down to your bone and how much function you want back, and we use 3D imaging to decide what your jaw can support.
What is included — no surprises
The price covers a brand-new, metal-based implant denture, the implant surgery, and the post-operative steps that go with it. It is not a teaser figure that bills the denture, the surgery, or the follow-ups separately. You get one number for the whole job.
How they compare
A traditional denture is the cheapest route, but it shifts while you chew, leans on adhesive, and an upper plate blocks part of your palate and dulls your sense of taste. All-on-4 is the fixed option that only the dentist takes out, running $20,000 to $25,000 per arch and coming closest to natural teeth. Snap-on dentures land between the two: anchored by implants so they stay put, yet removable like a denture, at a mid-range price.
Converting the denture you already have
Usually we recommend a fresh denture built for the attachments, and that is what the price above includes. In limited cases, if your current denture is in good shape and fits your bite, it can be retrofitted instead. We check that during the consult so you are not paying for teeth you did not need.
Insurance, financing, and the process
A number of policies put part of their coverage toward the implants up to your yearly maximum, which we confirm before you start. The balance is usually paid monthly through Sunbit or a medical-dental loan. The process itself is a consult and 3D scan, implant placement, a healing period, and then the denture is attached. Dr. Olu Oyegunwa plans these cases with 3D imaging and has placed implants for more than fifteen years, so the implant positions are chosen for stability and for how the finished denture will sit — which for a lot of Wilmington patients means getting back to eating seafood and smiling for beach photos without thinking about whether the denture is going to move.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do snap-on dentures cost in Wilmington?
From $10,000 for the two-implant option to $14,000 for the four-implant option. That includes a brand-new metal-based implant denture and all surgical and post-operative steps, with no surprise add-ons. It costs less than fixed All-on-4 and more than a traditional denture.
What is the difference between snap-on dentures and All-on-4?
With snap-on dentures you clip the denture onto two to four implants and take it out to clean. All-on-4 is fixed on four implants and stays in. The trade-off is price versus feel: snap-on is $10,000 to $14,000, while All-on-4 runs $20,000 to $25,000 per arch and is the closest to real teeth.
How many implants do snap-on dentures need?
Either two or four per arch. The two-implant option runs about $10,000 and the four-implant option about $14,000; four adds stability and chewing strength. We use 3D imaging to decide what your bone can support.
Can I convert my current denture to a snap-on?
Usually we recommend a new denture built for the attachments, which is included in the price. In limited cases, an existing denture in good condition can be retrofitted instead. We check at the consult.
Do snap-on dentures still slip when I eat?
No. The implants lock the denture in place so it does not rock or lift while you eat or talk, which is the main reason people switch from a traditional denture.
Does insurance help with snap-on dentures?
A number of policies put part of their coverage toward the implants, up to your yearly maximum, which we confirm upfront. The balance is usually paid monthly through Sunbit or financing.
Can I eat normally with snap-on dentures?
Most people eat far more comfortably than with a traditional denture, including firmer foods, because the implants stop the denture from moving.
