SNAPSecure: Removable, Snap-In Dentures

At Affordable Dentures & Implants, we offer snap-in dentures that are secured by dental implants. Snap-in dentures offer patients a secure and comfortable fit, without the need for denture adhesive.

What are snap on dentures?

Snap on dentures are a type of removable denture that is attached to surgically placed dental implants. The denture piece fits onto the implants that are surgically placed into your jaw. You can remove snap in dentures (just not the dental implants that they attach to.) Snap in dentures function like your natural teeth and offer a secure fit. Because snap-on dentures are secured by dental implants, there is no need for denture adhesive like regular dentures.

Why Choose Dental Implants and SNAPSecure 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, traditional dentures may become ill-fitting, less secure, and you may experience problems with eating and speaking.

Our SNAPSecure dentures, also known as removable implant overdentures, offer you a more secure smile that will allow you to eat and speak normally again. SNAPSecure dentures are fastened in place to dental implants, which are small titanium rods that are surgically implanted into your jawbone. This treatment can replace an entire arch of teeth in just one procedure.

Some people may shy away from SNAPSecure dentures, which could be because they require surgery, or because of the overall cost. But at Affordable Dentures & Implants, we offer the best rates, take several different types of  insurance, and we can help you finance your new smile if necessary.

Improved confidence

SNAPSecure treatment can help you feel confident speaking, eating, and smiling again.

Stability while speaking

SNAPSecure provides a secure fit, helping you speak with clarity.

Bone and gum preservation

Dental implants stimulate your jawbone, performing the same role as natural tooth roots to prevent bone loss.

Improved dental hygiene

SNAPSecure dentures are removable and unlike traditional dentures, they don’t have crevices that fit over the gum, so they can be easily cleaned.

Improve esthetics

SNAPSecure dentures support your facial features, which can reduce sagging and make you look more youthful.

Nutritional benefits from being able to eat more foods

With SNAPSecure dentures, you can eat the foods you want again, leading to better nutrition.

Call today to schedule your initial consultation at your local Affordable Dentures & Implants office, and get started on your journey to your best smile yet.

Do SNAPSecure dentures help with bone preservation? arrow

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 SNAPSecure dentures? arrow

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.

Are Denture Implants Worth It? arrow

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.

How long do snap in dentures last? arrow

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.

How much do snap on dentures cost? arrow

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. Please feel free to give us a call with any questions you may have.

Can I get snap on dentures in a single day? arrow

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.

Can you sleep with snap-in dentures? arrow

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.

Can you get snap in dentures with bone loss? arrow

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.

How do snap in dentures work? arrow

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.

How to clean snap in dentures? arrow

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.

Are snap in dentures better than regular dentures? arrow

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.

Do snap in dentures have a palate? arrow

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.

Are snap in dentures cheaper than implants? arrow

Snap-in dentures are usually a cheaper alternative to dental implants. For more information about the cost of our dentures and implant services, get in touch with your local Affordable Dentures & Implants branch. Our team would be happy to assist you.

Can snap in dentures be made permanent? arrow

Yes, there are fixed options available for snap-in dentures. Our FIXEDSecure option offers you a permanent, fixed denture solution that you might prefer.

Can you get snap-in dentures after having regular dentures? arrow

Yes, and in some cases you may be able to use your traditional dentures as part of your snap-in dentures. Using your existing dentures could save you on cost too.

How long does it take to get snap in dentures? arrow

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.

How many implants do you need for snap in dentures? arrow

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.

What is the difference between snap in dentures and implants? arrow

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.
