Missing teeth and loose dentures create the same core problem: nothing is holding the jawbone the way a natural tooth root does, so the bone shrinks and whatever sits on top of it, whether that’s a denture or the gap itself, keeps shifting.
That’s what leads to the slipping, sore spots, and adhesive dependence many denture wearers deal with daily, along with foods they’ve learned to avoid and a smile they hold back.
Snap on dentures in Kirkland fix this by anchoring your denture to a few implants placed in the jaw. Instead of suction or adhesive, the denture locks into place and stays secure while you eat, talk, and smile.
This treatment secures your denture to a small number of dental implants instead of resting it on your gums alone. Dr. Hedayati places titanium posts into your jawbone, where they fuse with the bone over the following months in a process called osseointegration.
Our snap in dentures in Kirkland restore what missing teeth and loose-fitting dentures affect, including:
Once healed, your custom denture snaps securely onto the implants using small attachments, so it locks into place rather than shifting throughout the day. This solution functions far more like natural teeth than a traditional denture. It lets you chew, speak, and smile without worrying about it moving. Most patients complete treatment, from implant placement to final denture, in 3 to 6 months, though healing time varies from person to person.
Patients trust Kirkland Dental Excellence with their implant-supported dentures in Kirkland because of Dr. Oveys Hedayati, D.D.S., who has been practicing since 2010. He earned his DDS from Tehran Azad University Dental School (IAU) and completed postgraduate training in Restorative Dentistry at UCLA School of Dentistry from 2015 to 2017. He holds a certification in Implant Dentistry from Tehran University of Medical Sciences and is licensed to practice in Washington State. He holds an active Washington dental license (DE60734395). His NPI number is 1154849735.
His approach to implant-supported denture care is gentle, precise, and centered on a secure, comfortable fit you can rely on.
He treats a full range of dental needs, with focus areas including:
We examine your mouth and use 3D imaging to check bone density and plan your implant placement precisely.
We build a plan around your candidacy, including how many implants your denture needs for a stable fit.
We place the implant posts and let them fuse with your jawbone before attaching your custom denture.
You finish with a denture that snaps securely into place and functions like your own teeth.
Implant-supported overdentures are typically treated as a bigger investment than routine dental care, so coverage varies more than it does for cleanings. Most plans cover only a portion of the snap on dentures cost, often between 20% and 50%, and may help with scans, extractions, or part of the denture, though implant surgery itself is frequently excluded.
At Kirkland Dental Excellence, we work with many insurance providers to help you understand your coverage and make treatment more affordable. Call us at (425) 827-2003 to check your benefits before your consultation.
