Dentures on Implants (DOI)

A denture on implants, or DOI, is a denture that snaps onto implants in your jaw. Many people call it a snap-in denture. A lot of patients tell us it feels more secure than a regular denture when they eat and talk.

You still take it out to clean it, the same way you do with a regular denture. That's a cleaning routine to learn, and your denturist can show you how it works.

Your denturist plans and designs the denture, with how you want to look and eat in mind. Our surgical partner places the implants it snaps onto. Before anything is decided, they look at your mouth in person and talk with you about what fits it.

Overdenture is a wider name that also covers a denture on a bar.

If you want to compare ways a denture can attach, a DOI is one option to ask about. You'll still take the denture out to clean it, and your denturist can walk you through it. Your denturist and our surgical partner decide with you, in person, what fits your mouth.
