SNAPSecure: Removable, Snap-In 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.

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.

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.

Denture implants are the most natural looking and functional tooth replacement option. They are lower maintenance than traditional dentures and they allow you to eat and speak normally. Because implants act like your real teeth, you won't have to worry about the cost of relines or adjustments like with traditional dentures. You will also save money on follow-up appointments because dental implants can last up to 20 years without any necessary maintenance.

Most snap-on dentures can last 10-15 years if they are well maintained. The snaps on the dentures tend to wear out faster if you are removing your dentures multiple times per day, so they may need to be replaced more often if you plan on taking your dentures out frequently.

Each denture is different based on how many teeth it needs, the size of the denture, and the type of implant it is getting. Because of this, it is important to consult with your dentist to figure out what your total costs will be. You can get a general idea of the cost of implants and snap-on dentures at Affordable Dentures & Implants on our website or by contacting your local branch.

Yes! In most cases, our skilled team at Affordable Dentures & Implants can get your snap-on dentures to you in one day. If you do not already have implants, you will need to schedule a procedure to have these in place before we can start crafting your snap-in dentures.

While you CAN sleep with snap-in dentures, it is recommended to remove them when sleeping at night. Taking your dentures out at night will help reduce wear and tear, especially for people who grind or clench their teeth while they sleep. Soaking the dentures overnight will also help keep them clean and looking brand new for longer.

Yes, if you suffer from bone loss you may still be able to have snap-in dentures. However, you might need a bone graft for this to be possible, as snap-in dentures are supported by dental implants that are surgically attached to your jawbone.

Once you have snap-in dentures, they can help preserve bone density, as they support your jawbone. Because of this, they can make your face look fuller and younger, another benefit to snap-in dentures.

Snap in dentures work by attaching onto titanium posts (implants) that are surgically placed into your jawbone. Unlike dental implants, dentures that snap into place can be removed, for example when you go to sleep. Snap-in dentures are attached securely to these implants, allowing the wearer a secure and strong fit. These dentures can replace an entire arch of teeth, and function as well as natural teeth.

Snap on dentures are removable, which makes cleaning them simple and easy. To clean your snap in dentures, start by rinsing them under lukewarm water to remove any food particles and debris. Then brush them gently with a soft-bristle toothbrush, including the o-rings. Then you should soak your dentures overnight in a mild, dentist-approved denture solution. Before putting them back in the next day, ensure you rinse your snap-on denture device thoroughly.

Snap-in dentures have a range of benefits that set them apart. Adjustable snap on dentures are more secure and stable than traditional dentures as they are held in place by dental implants that are screwed into the jawbone. The denture teeth are then fastened to this, giving the wearer a secure fit that won’t feel loose in the mouth.

Snap on dentures provide you with excellent function - meaning you can eat many of the foods that you can with natural teeth. These dentures can also replace an entire arch of teeth in one procedure, which is another benefit. There is also no need for denture adhesive with these kinds of dentures.

No, snap dentures do not have a palate, which can leave snap-in dentures feeling more comfortable than traditional dentures. Having a palate covering the roof of the mouth can lead to some denture-wearers feeling as though they cannot speak or swallow as well as they once could, as well as affecting their ability to enjoy their favorite foods. Palate-less dentures like snap on dentures remove this problem.

For patients who already have implants, your snap-in dentures can be with you in just one day in most cases! However, for those who do not already have implants, you will need to schedule a separate appointment to have them placed, which can take significantly longer.

Typically, around 2-6 implants will be needed to support snap-in dentures. How many you need will vary from your individual needs and budget.

One of the main differences between snap in dentures and dental implants is that snap-in dentures can be removed. All on 4 and our FIXEDSecure solutions are both permanent options.
