What Are Snap-On Dentures?
Learn how snap-on dentures provide reliable stability, thus enhancing confidence and comfort, in this informative video by Dr. Vahid Bashi.
Snap-on dentures, also known as implant-supported dentures, are a dental prosthetic solution that offers improved stability and retention compared to traditional dentures. Here’s how snap-on dentures work and their benefits:
1. Implant Support: Snap-on dentures are designed to attach securely to dental implants that have been surgically placed in the jawbone. These implants serve as anchors for the denture, preventing it from slipping or coming loose.
2. Enhanced Stability: Traditional dentures rely on suction and adhesives to stay in place. Over time, as the jawbone naturally resorbs or deteriorates, the fit of traditional dentures may become less secure. Snap-on dentures address this issue by using implants to provide a stable and secure foundation.
3. Increased Confidence: With snap-on dentures, patients can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing that their dentures will remain firmly in place. There’s no need to worry about denture slippage during meals or social interactions.
4. Comfort and Convenience: Snap-on dentures are generally more comfortable to wear than traditional dentures because they eliminate the need for bulky adhesives. They are also removable for cleaning and maintenance, making oral hygiene routines easier to manage.
5. Customization: Snap-on dentures can be tailored to match the individual patient’s preferences for tooth color, size, and shape, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
6. Consultation and Evaluation: To determine if you are a suitable candidate for snap-on dentures and to discuss your specific needs and goals, it is recommended to schedule a free consultation with a dental professional. During this consultation, your oral health will be assessed, and a treatment plan will be developed based on your unique situation.
Snap-on dentures offer a reliable and secure alternative to traditional dentures, particularly for individuals who may be concerned about denture stability or have experienced issues with removable dentures. If you are interested in snap-on dentures, consulting with a dental provider is the first step to evaluate your candidacy and explore the potential benefits of this dental prosthetic solution.
