Snap-On Dentures
A removable, implant-retained denture that snaps securely into place for improved stability and comfort.
What is it
A removable overdenture that attaches to strategically placed dental implants using small connectors, providing far greater stability and comfort than traditional dentures.
How it works
Implants are placed in the jawbone and allowed to integrate with the bone, then a custom denture fitted with attachment components is snapped onto the implants, allowing it to be removed for cleaning.
How it helps
Eliminates the slipping and discomfort of traditional dentures, improves chewing ability, and helps preserve jawbone density by transmitting bite forces through the implants.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Patients with multiple missing teeth or full tooth loss who want the stability of implant support without committing to a fully fixed full-arch restoration.
What is the typical experience?
Implants are placed and allowed to heal over several months before the denture is attached. Once connected, the difference in stability compared to traditional dentures is immediately noticeable.
How long does it usually take?
Implant placement is followed by a healing period of several months before the snap-on denture is connected. The full process from surgery to final delivery typically takes six months to a year.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
The attachment components of snap-on dentures require periodic replacement as they wear over time. Clean both the denture and the implant attachment sites daily, and attend regular check-up visits to keep the connections functioning properly.
What should I know about recovery after?
Some soreness in the gums is normal during the adjustment period, particularly where clasps contact the teeth. Most discomfort fades within a week or two as the mouth adapts to the appliance.
