What Are Snap-In Dentures? A Comprehensive Guide

Snap-in dentures are a game-changing option for patients with missing teeth. These incredible prosthetic teeth offer the strength of implant-supported dentures in a fast, affordable, and innovative one-day procedure.

Leaders in implant and cosmetic dentistry throughout the Northern Colorado area, Dr. Bigus and the team at Rocky Mountain Smile are changing lives in the Loveland area with the transformative power of snap-in dentures.

What are snap-in dentures?

Traditional false teeth have offered patients new smiles for generations. Implant technology and new, premium dental procedures offer a more permanent solution for patients with missing teeth.

Unfortunately, these old types of dentures can lead to loss of bone density and even complete bone loss. Once this happens, bone graft surgery may be necessary.

Snap-on dentures are a groundbreaking new way to restore your smile and reduce the cost of implant-based dentures. Using a few strategic implants as strong anchors, your durable dentures snap into place.

Once the full arch is snapped in, they feel as if they are permanently attached to your jawbone.

At an average of 60% less than complete implant surgery, could snap-in dentures be the best option for your new smile?

How do Snap-In Dentures Work?

Snap-on dentures attach to anchored implants, making them extremely tough and durable compared to normal glue-on, suck-down dentures.

As fewer implants are required for a snap-in smile, procedures are faster, more cost-effective, and easier to maintain.

What Makes Snap-in Dentures Different?

New snap-in dentures’ advanced design and convenience make them stand out from other permanent options.

• They won’t fall out: Snap-in dentures are attached to the mouth with strategically placed implants. They won’t fall out over dinner, and unlike traditional dentures, they don’t need adhesive to keep them in place.
• Better oral health: Snap-in dentures are removable for easy cleaning at home, helping to maintain oral health and prevent gum disease.
• Stronger bite: Conventional dentures offer a shiny new smile but still require caution while eating. Snap-in implant-retained denture options provide a stronger bite without fear of breaking costly dentures, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without fear.

Improving patients’ confidence and quality of life, so many people are discovering this cost-effective option.

The Advantages of Snap-in Dentures

To find the perfect type of denture for your needs, it helps to consider the pros and cons of each option. Below, we examine some of the benefits of snap-in dentures and the drawbacks of this exciting method.

Fixed-Removable Cost Benefits

Snap-in dentures require fewer implants in the mouth, resulting in a lower cost. Almost all patients receive only four implants!

This strong implant-denture combo costs up to 60% less than comparable types of dentures and looks and feels like natural teeth. You can eat an apple or BBQ ribs without any worry!

Remove and Clean at Home

Everyone would like fewer dental office visits, but taking care of our oral health is critical. Cleaning snap-on dentures is easy, and there is no need for the sticky denture adhesive traditionally used with removable dentures.

The best part is a removable denture attached to your mouth dental implants is cleanable at home, which means your gums will be healthier. With a fixed, non-removable denture, your gums are never properly cleaned, resulting in discomfort and gum disease.

Teeth in a day

For many patients with interest in implant surgery for tooth loss, the long, painstaking process can be inconvenient at best and anxiety-producing at worst.

Innovative snap-in dentures allow for a one-day surgical procedure, providing a secure fit for your dentures and a faster recovery time.

With just one day of surgery to gain a brand new smile, you can:

• Smile more and feel more attractive
• Save money with affordable financing
• Schedule your procedure and recovery at a time that works for you
• Eat soft food on the very same day of surgery

Improved oral Health

Good oral health is crucial for overall health. Snap-in denture wearers can easily clean their teeth after denture removal, keeping gum tissue healthy and preventing gum disease.

The Disadvantages of Snap-in Dentures

Snap-in dentures are a fast and affordable way to regain your chewing ability, but this convenient alternative to regular dentures is not the right fit for everyone. Some downsides to choosing snap-in denture implants include:

• Surgical implant placement: Although snap-in dentures are faster, cheaper, and more convenient than other tooth replacement options, they still require a surgical procedure and a recovery period.
• Investment: Snap-in dentures cost around 60% less than full denture implant options but more than traditional glue-on false teeth. Implants are an investment in your oral health and new smile.
• Limited appointments: Due to the popularity of this premium system, consultation appointments are limited in some areas. Contact Rocky Mountain Smile today to secure your spot on the calendar.
• Contraindications: The main downside to snap-in dentures is that not every patient is ready for them. If you have advanced gum disease, this oral health issue must be treated before implant surgery.

Renew SureSNAP vs. Clear Choice All on 4 Implants

Both offer an innovative solution for replacement teeth. Renew snap-in dentures cost around 60% less than all-on-4 dental implants.

Clear Choice’s implant system is a life-changing treatment like the Renew SureSnap system, but the fake teeth are permanent. Clear Choice implant dentures can only be removable by a dentist. Cleaning under a permanently fixed arch of teeth is more complicated, resulting in a mouth that is less than clean.

Snap-on Dentures vs. Fixed Implants

Excellent denture cleaning and maintenance keep gum disease at bay and let your permanent dentures shine. As fixed implants cannot be removed, you will need more dental care visits over the years to ensure the best oral health.

With snap-on dentures, you can maintain most oral hygiene routines at home. They are removable for easy and thorough cleaning and offer the benefits of easy cleaning with the stability and strength of fixed dentures.

Snap-in Dentures Summary
