The Snap-In Denture Process

• Consultation: Before getting snap-in dentures, a consultation with a dental professional is necessary. The dentist will assess the individual's oral health, discuss the treatment options, and determine if the person is a suitable candidate for snap-in dentures.
• Dental Implant Placement: If the individual is a suitable candidate, the next step involves the placement of dental implants. The number of implants required will depend on individual needs.
• Healing Period: After implant placement, a healing period is necessary to allow the implants to fuse with the jawbone. This process, called osseointegration, typically takes a few months.
• Creating the Dentures: Once the implants have healed, the dentist will take impressions of the mouth to create custom-made dentures that will fit securely over the implants. These dentures are designed to snap into place, providing stability and comfort.
• Final Fitting: Once the dentures are fabricated, they will be fitted onto the dental implants. The dentist will ensure a proper fit and make any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and functionality.
• Follow-Up Care: Regular dental check-ups and maintenance are important for the long-term success and longevity of snap-in dentures. The dentist will advise on proper cleaning and care techniques to maintain oral health.
