What Are Snap-In Dentures?
A snap-in denture is a removable denture anchored to your jaw using dental implants. It is known by several names, including hybrid dentures, snap-on dentures, overdentures, and implant-supported dentures. Unlike traditional removable dentures, snap-in dentures "snap" into place on dental implants for a stable, secure fit. You’ll enjoy the convenience of removable dentures and the solid support of implants.
The Snap-In Denture Process
- Initial Consultation — Our dentist examines your mouth, takes x-rays, and discusses your goals and expectations to create an individualized treatment plan. We will perform any extractions needed to prepare for dentures before implant placement.
- Implant Placement — We numb the area so you won’t feel any pain, then place implants.. You will receive temporary replacement teeth to wear while the implants heal and integrate with surrounding bone and tissue.
- Denture Fitting — After healing, we’ll custom design your dentures to snap securely onto the implants. Your new dentures are designed to fit comfortably so you can eat and speak comfortably without worry.
