Spanish Approximately 20% of adults aged 65 and older have no natural teeth remaining. Severe tooth loss can be a life-altering experience, complicating daily activities such as speaking with confidence and enjoying favorite foods. If you are one of the many individuals suffering from missing teeth, you don’t have to settle for traditional dentures. Innovations in dental implant technology have led to remarkably stable and durable implant-retained dentures. Snap-on dentures, in particular, are an excellent choice for patients exploring alternatives to conventional dentures.
Understanding Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures are removable devices that replace a complete set of teeth in the top or bottom jaw. Partial dentures are similar, but they are used when a patient has some natural teeth remaining. They clasp onto existing teeth with a metal or acrylic framework.
While they’ve been used for many years, traditional dentures have their fair share of issues. Namely, they cannot achieve the same feel or function as your natural teeth because they are not as stable. Over time, as the dentures become looser, they tend to slip and even fall out, irritating the gums and causing embarrassment. This instability makes eating and speaking more challenging. While denture adhesives are marketed as a solution to ill-fitting dentures, these messy creams can be more of a hassle than a solution.
At Fine Dental Care, we offer several alternatives to traditional dentures, and one of the most versatile options is snap-on dentures.
The Benefits of Snap-On Dentures
Snap-on dentures solve the common problems people experience with traditional dentures. They combine the advantages of dentures and dental implants, offering a solution that mimics the function of natural teeth. At Fine Dental Care, we’ve seen firsthand how transformative implant dentures can be.
As their name implies, snap-on dentures securely “snap” onto mini dental implants. This firm grip ensures they don’t move out of place unexpectedly, providing a solid solution to the issue of slipping. With Dr. Fine’s expertise, especially in mini implant dentures, patients can now experience a tooth replacement option that feels more stable and comfortable.
Snap-on dentures offer many benefits. They’re suitable for those who have experienced bone loss because the mini implants are half the size of standard implants. And because of their less invasive, quicker placement procedure, they’re more cost-effective than traditional implant solutions. Plus, if you have existing dentures that are in good condition, Dr. Fine may be able to retrofit the dentures to snap onto the implants.
The benefits don’t stop here. The single-piece, titanium design of mini implants gives them a success rate that rivals or surpasses traditional implants. With snap-on dentures that use mini implants, you can expect newfound stability, confidence, and durability, all without burning a hole in your wallet.
