Snap-On, Implant Retained Dentures

Why Snap-On Dentures?

While traditional, removable dentures are a great way to get your smile back, they can often be a bit of a hassle for the wearer. As your mouth changes over time, they may become uncomfortable or fail to continue fitting in your mouth as they used to. To combat these common issues, people are turning to dental implants and snap-on dentures, also known as implant overdentures, for a more secure solution to tooth loss.

Denture Implants & Snap-On Dentures

A denture implant or “dental implant” is a titanium post or rod that is surgically inserted into the jawbone. Your denture device is then fastened to these implants as a “snap-on” style that remains secured to your jawbone until removed by you or your dentist. You can replace one tooth, several teeth, or an entire row with implants and implant supported snap-on dentures.

Snap-on dentures, also known as implant overdentures, offer you a more secure smile that will allow you to eat and speak normally again. If you are interested in a permanent, fixed dental implant solution, our All-In-One Solution features implants that are placed in your mouth to permanently secure a custom-fitted bridge.

Snap-on Denture FAQs

Do I need snap-on dentures?

A person who has lost one or more teeth due to injury, periodontal disease or decay may be a candidate for dental implants and snap-on dentures. The traditional options for replacing teeth such as complete dentures or removable partial dentures can now be restored with implants.

If you are currently a denture wearer but find yourself wrestling with gum sores and sticky oral adhesives on a daily basis, it might be time to take the stress out of your dental routine. With implants and snap-on dentures, you won’t have to worry about your denture falling out, slipping, or looking unnatural in your mouth. This procedure is well tested and has resulted in thousands of happy patients who now spend their days showing off their new smiles.

Not everyone will qualify for snap-on dentures, so it is important to consult with your denture dentist about which procedure will work best for you.

Do snap-on dentures help with bone preservation?

A tremendous advantage of implants is that of bone preservation. Implants are used to replace the roots of the missing teeth. Without roots, the jawbone naturally resorbs (shrinks) as you age. This is why a denture becomes loose and needs to be relined every couple of years and periodically remade. Eventually, there may be so much bone shrinkage that it may become impossible to be refitted for dentures. Where implants are placed, the jawbone will not resorb. Implants not only maintain the height of bone but also help to preserve facial contours, which otherwise change with the loss of bone structure.

Can I eat with snap-on dentures?

Chewing efficiency with upper and lower dentures is at best 20% of your natural teeth. Thousands of our patients at Affordable Dentures & Implants who chose to have their dentures supported by implants and snap-on dentures, are now able to eat and chew foods more easily and more efficiently. Patients also have a feeling of security because they know the dentures will stay in place while attached to implants, which adds to their feeling of self-confidence.
