Snap on Dentures

Snap-on dentures, also known as overdentures, are a type of removable denture that is held in place by dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and rely on adhesives or suction to stay in place, snap-on dentures attach to dental implants that have been surgically placed in the jawbone.

What benefits do snap-on dentures offer compared to traditional dentures?

Snap-on dentures provide many benefits over traditional dentures. Because they are held in place by dental implants, they offer better stability and can improve a patient’s ability to eat and speak. Snap-on dentures also help preserve the jawbone, which can begin to deteriorate when teeth are missing.

What is the process for getting snap-on dentures?

The process of getting snap-on dentures involves several steps. First, the dental implants are placed in the jawbone. After a healing period, the snap-on denture is attached to the implants using special abutments or connectors. This allows the denture to snap securely into place and be easily removed for cleaning.

Who is a good candidate for snap-on dentures?

Snap-on dentures are often recommended for patients who have lost multiple teeth or all of their teeth and are looking for a more secure and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. They are also a good option for patients who may not be good candidates for a fixed dental implant bridge.

What should you do if you are interested in getting snap-on dentures?

If you are interested in snap-on dentures, speak to your dentist to determine if they are a good option for your specific needs and dental health. With proper care and maintenance, snap-on dentures can provide a long-lasting and comfortable solution for missing teeth.
