Snap-in Dentures

Snap-in dentures are a popular type of dentures that are supported by dental implants. They snap into place and are, therefore, more stable than traditional dentures.

Benefits of Snap-in Dentures

Snap-in dentures are removable dentures that snap onto dental implants. They are more comfortable to wear and use than traditional dentures because they are more secure and stable in the mouth. This makes them a better option for patients who struggle with loose or ill-fitting dentures. 

Snap-in dentures can also be more aesthetically pleasing than regular dentures, providing a more natural look.

How Are Snap-in Dentures Attached?

The first step is placing the required number of dental implants into the jawbone. This is done by making a small incision in the gums. The implant sites are then allowed to heal. 

The snap-in dentures are designed based on impressions of the gums. They are made of an acrylic base with false teeth attached. They are customized to fit the patient’s unique oral cavity and needs. 

Once the dentures are fabricated, the dentist will first put them in place, snapping them onto the implants. The dentist will check the denture’s fit and make any necessary adjustments.

What to Expect After Snap-in Dentures?

If you choose snap-in dentures, you can expect them to be comfortable, secure, and natural-looking. Snap-in dentures are a great alternative to traditional dentures.

To ensure they last for a long time, you should follow the dentist’s aftercare instructions on how to practice good oral care at home and maintain good oral health.
