i wouldn't get a full set of permanent dentures. If one of the teeth falls out of the line-up or gets broken how will it get replaced? This does happen on occasion. The snap-on dentures snap on to implants that are connected in pairs with gold bars. The dentures are removed nightly, and the implants and bars remain "bolted" to your upper and/or lower jaws (depending on if you have a full set or just uppers or lowers). The bars need to be replaced once in awhile and the implants checked once or twice a year, but that's just routine maintenance and costs around the same as if you had all your teeth and went for a checkup and cleaning.
