A denture that snaps onto dental implants or is fixed to them, so it stays steady when you eat, talk and laugh.
Do you place the implants?
No. A surgical colleague in our doctor network places the implants. Our dentists plan the case with them, then design, make and fit your new teeth here at SOL Dental Arts.
We are in network with Aetna PPO, MetLife PDP and Guardian PPO plans, and we check your benefits before treatment begins. We don’t accept Medicaid or HMO/DHMO plans. See insurance and payment options.

I consulted with a few dentists before having some work done. Dr. Sol took the time to go over my case, was very professional and addressed my concerns. I could tell he was actually invested in me as a patient and did not rush me out. Clean office, and was on time. Very happy I took the time to find the right dentist. Highly recommend

An implant denture is a full denture that attaches to dental implants in your jaw, so it stays much steadier when you eat, talk and laugh. Some snap on and come out for cleaning; others are fixed in place. At SOL Dental Arts in Maspeth, we design, make and fit the denture, and a trusted surgical colleague in our doctor network places the implants where your new teeth need them.
Open Monday–Friday 9 AM–5 PM and Saturday 9 AM–2 PM · We speak Spanish, Polish and Farsi
Is an implant denture right for you?
Patients usually ask us about implant dentures when:
A lower denture lifts, rocks or slides when they eat or talk
They rely on denture adhesive and are tired of it
Sore spots keep coming back
They avoid foods they used to enjoy
They are about to lose their remaining teeth and want something steadier than a regular denture
A regular denture rests on the gums. An implant denture is held by implants, so it moves much less. Most adults with enough jawbone, or bone that can be built up, are candidates. Health conditions, smoking and some medications matter, and we go through these with you.
Snap-on or fixed: the two main types
Snap-on implant denture (overdenture)
Fixed implant teeth (full arch)
How it’s held
Clips onto 2 to 4 implants with small attachments or a bar
Screwed onto several implants, often 4 to 6
Comes out
Yes, by you, for cleaning and at night
No, only by a dentist
Covers the roof of the mouth (upper)
Often less than a regular denture; depends on design
No
Steadiness when chewing
Much better than a regular denture
The most like natural teeth
Upkeep
Attachment inserts wear and are replaced from time to time
Special cleaning tools; regular professional cleanings
The right number of implants and the right design depend on your bone, your bite, which jaw it is and what you want day to day. The lower jaw often does well with a snap-on denture on two implants. The upper jaw usually needs more. For fixed teeth, see All-on-X full-arch implants.
How implant dentures work at SOL Dental Arts, step by step
Consultation and exam. We examine your gums, bone and any remaining teeth, take X-rays and scans, and look at your current denture if you have one.
Denture first, then implants. We plan where your new teeth should sit for your bite, lips and smile. That plan tells the surgeon where the implants need to go.
Implant placement. A surgical colleague in our doctor network places the implants with our plan. If teeth need to come out first, we explain whether that is done in our office or at the surgeon’s.
Healing. The implants bond with the bone, usually over a few months. You wear your denture or a temporary one during this time, and we adjust or reline it so it stays comfortable.
Making your implant denture. We take records, set your teeth in wax and let you see and approve the look at a try-in.
Fitting. We attach the denture to the implants, check your bite and show you how to put it in, take it out and clean it.
Follow-up and upkeep. We check the fit, the implants and your gums at your regular visits and replace worn attachment inserts when needed.
Your plan lists your own steps and roughly how long each one takes.
These are examples from individual patients. Results vary.

Technology that helps
Digital scans with 3Shape and Medit scanners for planning and for recording the implant positions.
In-house CAD/CAM lab, so restorations are designed digitally in our office with our dentists involved in tooth position and bite.
Surgical microscopes for precise work on any natural teeth that stay in your plan.
Soft-tissue lasers, used where appropriate for small, precise adjustments at the gumline during treatment.
Implant dentures and insurance
SOL Dental Arts is in network with Aetna PPO, MetLife PDP and Guardian PPO plans. Many plans cover part of a denture, and some cover part of implant treatment, with limits that vary by plan. The implant surgery is billed separately by the surgeon’s office. We give you a written plan with an estimate for our part, check your benefits and coordinate with the surgeon so you know what to expect from each office.

A full denture that attaches to dental implants instead of resting only on your gums. It can be the snap-on kind, which you take out to clean, or a fixed set of teeth that only a dentist removes.
How many implants do I need?
It depends on the jaw and the design. A lower snap-on denture often uses two implants; an upper one usually needs more. Fixed teeth usually need four or more per jaw. We’ll show you why on your scans.
Can I sleep with my implant denture in?
For snap-on dentures, it’s better to take them out at night so your gums can rest and the denture stays clean. Fixed teeth stay in.
Will I still need adhesive?
Usually not. With a snap-on implant denture, the attachments do the holding.
How long do implant dentures last?
With good care, the implants can last a long time. The denture itself wears and may need relining or replacing over the years, and the small attachment inserts are replaced from time to time.
Do you place the implants?
No. A surgical colleague in our doctor network places them. We plan the case with them, then design, make, fit and maintain the denture.
Snap-on denture or All-on-X?
Snap-on dentures use fewer implants and come out for cleaning. All-on-X teeth are fixed and feel more like natural teeth, but involve more implants and a bigger plan. We’ll explain both with your own scans.
Does insurance cover implant dentures?
Many plans cover part of a denture, and some cover part of implant treatment. We are in network with Aetna PPO, MetLife PDP and Guardian PPO and will check your benefits for you.
