Snap-In Dentures, also known as implant-supported dentures or overdentures, are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which sit on top of the gums and can slip and slide around, Snap-In Dentures are securely anchored in place using dental implants.
This provides a more stable and comfortable fit, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
How Snap-In Dentures Work:
Snap-In Dentures are typically supported by two to four dental implants, which are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone. These implants serve as anchors for the denture, holding it securely in place.
The denture itself is designed to snap onto the implants, providing a strong and stable connection while allowing the patient to "pop it out" each night for cleaning.
Types of Snap-In Dentures:
There are two main types of Snap-In Dentures: bar-retained and ball-retained.
In bar-retained dentures, a thin metal bar is attached to the implants, and the denture clips onto the bar.
In ball-retained dentures, the implants have small, ball-shaped attachments that fit into sockets on the denture.

Caring for Snap-In Dentures:
Snap-In Dentures require proper care and maintenance to ensure they last a long time. This includes regular brushing and cleaning, as well as regular dental check-ups to monitor the health of the implants and surrounding tissue.
Cost of Snap-In Dentures:
The cost of Snap-In Dentures can vary depending on several factors, including the number of implants needed, the type of denture, and the location of the dental office. However, many patients find that Snap-In Dentures are a worthwhile investment, as they provide a more comfortable and natural-looking solution to missing teeth.
Snap-In Dentures are an excellent option for anyone who wants a more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. With proper care and maintenance, they can provide years of reliable use and restore your smile to its natural beauty.
