Request an AppointmentThe Innovation of Snap-On Dentures
Snap-On Dentures, also known as implant-supported overdentures, are a modern alternative to traditional dentures. They are designed to “snap” into place over dental implants, providing increased stability and comfort. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums and may slip or cause discomfort, Snap-On Dentures are anchored securely, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
How Do They Work?
The process involves placing two or more dental implants into your jawbone. These implants act as anchors for the dentures, which have special attachments that snap onto the implants. The dentures are still removable for easy cleaning and maintenance, but when in place, they offer a level of stability similar to natural teeth.
Benefits of Snap-On Dentures
- Enhanced Stability: Enjoy a secure fit without the worry of dentures slipping out of place.
- Improved Comfort: Reduced gum irritation and a more natural feel compared to traditional dentures.
- Better Functionality: Chew and speak with greater confidence and ease.
- Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.

How are Snap-On Dentures different from traditional dentures?
Snap-On Dentures are secured with dental implants, providing a stable and secure fit. Traditional dentures rest on the gums and may require adhesives to stay in place, often leading to discomfort and instability.
How many implants are needed for Snap-On Dentures?
Typically, two to four implants are used to support the dentures, but the exact number depends on your specific needs and oral health. We’ll assess your situation during the consultation.
Is the procedure painful?
The implant placement is performed under local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for added comfort. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure and recovery.
How do I care for Snap-On Dentures?
Care involves daily removal for cleaning, similar to traditional dentures. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene around the implants is essential to ensure their longevity.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Step One
We begin with a thorough examination of your oral health, including digital imaging to assess bone density and structure. This helps us determine if you’re a suitable candidate for implants and to plan the optimal placement.
Customized Treatment Plan
Step Two
Based on the evaluation, we develop a tailored treatment plan that outlines each step, from implant placement to denture fabrication. We’ll discuss timelines, costs, and answer any questions you have.
Implant Placement Surgery
Step Three
Under local anesthesia, our skilled surgeons place the implants into your jawbone. The procedure is precise and minimally invasive, designed to promote quick healing.
Healing Period
Step Four
The implants need time to integrate with your jawbone—a process called osseointegration. This typically takes a few months, during which temporary dentures can be worn if needed.
Denture Attachment
Step Five
Once healing is complete, custom-made dentures with special snap-on attachments are created and fitted. We’ll ensure they align properly and provide the comfort and aesthetics you desire.
