Living with missing teeth can affect every part of your life – from how you eat and speak to how confident you feel in social settings. At DNTL Hub in Elk Grove, we offer snap-on dentures as a secure, convenient, and comfortable solution for patients looking for more stability than traditional dentures. These implant-retained dentures offer the best of both worlds: the reliability of implants and the removability of dentures.
What Are Snap-On Dentures?
Snap-on dentures, also known as overdentures, are a type of removable denture that attaches to dental implants placed in the jawbone. Instead of relying on adhesives or suction, these dentures “snap” into place using special attachments that connect securely to the implants. The result is a denture that stays put during daily activities—no shifting, slipping, or embarrassing moments.
This option is especially beneficial for patients with significant tooth loss who want more confidence when eating, speaking, or smiling, without committing to fixed dentures or full-mouth implants.
Advantages of Snap-On Dentures
Snap-on dentures offer several improvements over traditional dentures:
- More stability and better chewing function
- No need for adhesives
- Less irritation and movement on the gums
- Easier to remove and clean
- Helps preserve jawbone density and facial structure
The implants used for snap-on dentures stimulate bone growth, preventing the bone loss that can occur with conventional dentures. In many cases, only 2–4 implants per arch are needed, making this a more accessible option for full-mouth restoration.
