Spanish Which would you rather have: security or convenience? Security brings a sense of comfort, knowing that everything will work out as it should. In contrast, convenience implies a sort of freedom, as you have the ability to choose between all of the options available to you! Well, at Fine Dental Care, we ask: why not both? With snap in dentures, we combine both security and convenience to provide you with the best tooth replacement options available!
What Are Snap In Dentures?
Traditional dentures rely solely on your gums and jawbone for support. While initially effective, these prosthetics lose their fit over time as your jaw loses mass and volume.
Fortunately, dental implants are an excellent way to secure them in place! Snap in dentures are a type of implant prosthetic that relies on 4 to 8 mini dental implants for stability.
Due to their unique ability to “snap” on and off your implants, these prosthetics combine both security and convenience for patients like you!
The Security of Snap In Dentures
Dental implants are titanium posts that we secure in your jaw to support restorations, such as dentures. However, at our office, we typically use mini dental implants because of the incredible benefits they provide!
We place these implants strategically around your jawbone, evenly distributing the force of your bite. Most often, we place 4 implants on your lower jaw and 6 on your upper. These implants create an incredibly strong foundation for your denture. With mini implants for support, your snap in denture will remain secure in your mouth without losing its fit due to bone loss!
Unlike traditional dentures, which often slide around on your gums when you chew or talk, these prosthetics stay in place. Snap in dentures allow you to chew food with little hesitation and laugh confidently, knowing that your smile isn’t going anywhere.
The Convenience of Snap In Dentures
While we offer a variety of implant-supported dentures to choose from, snap in dentures provide the ultimate convenience. Unlike more permanent implant denture options, you can remove these prosthetics at any time!
Like traditional dentures, snap in dentures are removable to allow for easy maintenance. When out of your mouth, you can clean your denture thoroughly, as well as the area around your implants to ensure that both your denture and your gums are healthy and strong!
Removing your dentures is a simple process. You can just “snap” your dentures on and off your implants, as they have durable rubber O-rings inside that connect the implants to your prosthetic.
However, it’s important to still schedule routine dental visits, as these O-rings need to be replaced routinely.
Transforming Your Smile!
If you have a current traditional denture that fits comfortably in your mouth, we may be able to use it as a base for your snap-in denture!
Rather than crafting a whole new prosthetic, we may be able to retrofit your traditional denture into an implant-supported one.
However, not all dentures are eligible for this transformation. Your traditional restoration must be in great condition and have enough room to accommodate implant housings.
These housings are large spaces in your denture base that fit the implant inside, securing then with the rubber O-rings. If your traditional denture doesn’t have enough room to create housings, we won’t be able to transform it into a snap in denture!
Instead, we’ll create a completely new denture that restores your smile with the ultimate convenience and security in mind.
