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.
