Implant “Snap-On” Dentures
Smile Design & Aesthetic Dentistry by Dr. M. L. Supowitz
Snap-on dentures combine dentures with dental implants. They allow more comfort and stability than a conventional denture and they eliminate the experiences of teeth floating, clicking, and “pasted to the gum” that haunts many wearers of complete dentures.
Benefits of “Snap-on” Dentures:
- Moderate cost compared to totally fixed (non-removable) implant supported bridgework.
- Improved appearance
- Chewing ability far exceeds conventional dentures
- Long term solution
- With an upper “snap-on” denture, the roof of the mouth does not get covered.
Over the course of time, all dentures can wear and may need to be relined or replaced. The gum and underlying bone changes over time, thus necessitating regular dental exams with Dr. Supowitz.
