Snap on dentures? I'm confused.

[janedoe1625]

What is the difference of dentures that snap on and dental implants, or are they the same thing? Thank you. Also, why is there such a big difference in cost? I have been quoted $30,000- $40,000 for full dental implants, but read that some places charge $10,000 or so. Why such a different? Thank you for any information or feedback.

Some dentures can snap on and off implants, this is called an "overdenture". Some dentures are permanently connected to the implants, this is called a "hybrid". There is an enormous difference in cost because of the enormous difference in time, energy and expertise needed to do hybrid dentures.
