Choosing the right implant denture begins with the dental implant itself. Dr. Keider is experienced in traditional dental implants and mini dental implants, which offer a more affordable and less invasive alternative. Mini implant-supported restorations cost half as much as traditional dental implants and are often suitable for patients with thinner jawbones. During your consultation, Dr. Keider will take the time to understand your oral health and goals, then recommend the implant solution that best fits your unique needs.
Beyond the implants themselves, the best choice for you depends on factors such as cost considerations, durability, and cosmetic results.
Snap-in dentures offer a practical, cost-conscious way to stabilize existing dentures with a simple upgrade. Moving up, semi-removable roundhouse bridges enable a more appealing cosmetic result and durable replacement. At the highest level, permanent roundhouse bridges offer the closest experience to having your natural teeth back. They’re fully fixed, incredibly durable, and designed for patients who want the most luxurious replacement.
Snap-In Dentures
A snap-in denture is a type of implant denture that resembles a traditional denture. The only difference is that a snap-in denture has O-rings beneath the prosthetic that literally “snap” onto dental implants. You’ll remove it at home each night for regular cleaning.
To secure a snap-in denture, Dr. Keider may use 4 to 6 mini implants to secure the lower arch or 6 to 8 mini implants to stabilize the upper arch.
Their familiarity makes them a great starting point for patients. It’s also possible to convert an existing denture to an implant-stabilized denture, providing convenience and cost savings. Dr. Keider can convert your existing denture to an implant-stabilized denture all in the one visit.
If you want an affordable upgrade that brings stability to your denture, a snap-in denture provides the support you’re looking for! Snap-in dentures tend to last 5 to 10 years.
Non-Removable Dentures
For patients ready to move beyond removable solutions, roundhouse bridges offer a powerful step forward in stability, comfort, and confidence. Whether you choose a semi-removable Fix-on-Six® bridge or a fully permanent restoration, these options are designed to look, feel, and function much more like natural teeth. They give you the freedom to eat, speak, and smile with a stunning full-arch replacement that lasts.
Semi-Removable Roundhouse Bridge
The semi-removable roundhouse bridge, also known as Fix-on-Six®, is a big step up in stability and chewing power. The durable zirconia bridge looks more realistic than a snap-on denture, eliminating or dramatically reducing the amount of pink porcelain “gums” on the prosthetic. The denture is anchored to 6 to 10 mini implants and stays in place throughout your day-to-day life. Dr. Keider removes the denture at routine checkups for deep cleaning. Afterward, he cements it right back into place.
Lasting 10 to 20 years, Fix-on-Six delivers a luxurious result similar to a permanent bridge at a more reasonable cost.
Permanent Roundhouse Bridge
A permanent roundhouse bridge, also known as a permanent denture, offers the closest experience to having your old teeth back. This zirconia bridge permanently cements onto 10 to 12 mini implants. It never comes out. While this option has the highest price point, it also looks and feels the most true to your old teeth out of all the options we’ve explored. They also tend to be the longest-lasting restoration, at 10 to 20 years or more. If you want the most premium denture option, this is it.
During a consultation, Dr. Keider will learn more about your goals and budget, and he’ll use his decades of experience in dentistry to find the best solution for your needs.
