Snap-In Dentures: What Are They?

Snap-in dentures, also known as implant-supported dentures or overdentures, are a type of removable denture that attaches to dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which sit on top of the gums and require adhesive to stay in place, snap-in dentures snap onto dental implants, providing a more secure and stable fit.

• Advantages of Snap-In Dentures:
• Increased stability: Snap-in dentures are anchored to dental implants, which prevents them from slipping or shifting while eating or speaking.
• Better chewing ability: The stability of snap-in dentures allows for improved chewing efficiency, making it easier to enjoy a wider variety of foods.
• Preservation of jawbone: The implants used to support snap-in dentures stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure.
• Improved comfort: Snap-in dentures are custom-made for each patient, ensuring a comfortable and natural fit.
