If you wear traditional dentures, you know the daily struggle: the constant worry of them falling out at the wrong time, the unpleasant taste of adhesives, and the inability to eat the foods you love. At Gordon Dental Implants and Cosmetics, we specialize in helping Kansas City patients move past these limitations with Snap-On Implant Dentures.
The Problem with Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures rely solely on suction and the ridges of your gums for support. Over time, the jawbone naturally shrinks (atrophies) when teeth are missing, causing dentures to become loose, uncomfortable, and embarrassing.
The Solution: Snap-On Stability
A Snap-On Denture (also known as an overdenture) is a removable appliance that “snaps” onto 2–4 dental implants. These implants act as anchors, providing a level of security that traditional dentures simply cannot achieve.
Benefits of the Snap-On approach at our Leawood office:
Eliminate Adhesives: Say goodbye to messy pastes and strips forever.
Preserve Jawbone: The implants stimulate the bone, helping to prevent the “sunken” facial appearance associated with tooth loss.
Enhanced Taste: Upper snap-on dentures can often be designed without covering the entire roof of the mouth, allowing you to taste your food better.
Affordability: This is a cost-effective way to get the benefits of dental implants while still utilizing a removable prosthetic.
Specialist Precision: The Gordon Dental Difference
Because Dr. Philip Gordon is a Board-Certified Dental Implant Specialist, he doesn’t just “place” implants. He engineered this patient’s case using 3D CBCT imaging to ensure the implants were positioned in the densest bone available, providing the strongest possible “snap” connection.
“Many of my patients come in feeling defeated by their dentures. Seeing them leave our office able to bite into an apple or laugh without hesitation is exactly why we do what we do.” — Dr. Philip Gordon

Frequently Asked Questions: Snap-On Dentures
How many implants are needed for snap-on dentures?
Typically, 2 to 4 implants are used per arch. Dr. Gordon will determine the ideal number based on your bone density and desired level of stability.
Can I use my existing dentures?
In some cases, we can “retrofit” your current dentures to snap onto new implants. However, most patients prefer a new, custom-designed denture that is specifically engineered for the implant attachments.
Are they easy to clean?
Yes! You simply snap them out at night to clean them, just like a traditional denture, but they remain rock-solid throughout the day while you wear them.
