What do Snap-In Implant Dentures entail?
Snap-In Implant Dentures are dentures that are specially designed to easily attach (snap-in) to the dental implants installed by your doctor. By securing your dentures with dental implants, you can enjoy the following advantages:
Indulge in your favorite foods even more : By getting dental implants to secure your denture, you can enjoy chewing with increased strength and confidence.
Permanent : Does not need to be taken out of the mouth like a denture.
Enjoy a carefree smile and laughter without any concerns about your dentures coming loose
Experience greater comfort : Reduced movement and irritation with dentures
Improve your nutrition : Enhance your digestion by chewing food thoroughly
Requires minimal bone : Ideal for individuals with insufficient bone for implants.
Prevent bone loss : Dental implants stimulate the jaw to promote ongoing bone production, even after natural teeth have been removed, preventing further bone loss.
Reduce gagging sensation : In certain situations, it is possible to remove a part of the palate, which will reveal the roof of the mouth. This procedure helps to minimize or eliminate the discomfort of gagging that can be caused by wearing dentures.
Enhanced comfort : Dental implants are effective in reducing or eliminating the discomfort caused by denture movement.
Enhance your food tasting experience : For certain patients with implants, it is possible to remove a portion of the upper denture's palate. This enables you to enjoy a heightened sense of taste when consuming your meals.
Snap-In Implant Dentures vs. Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures, while popular for their attractive appearance and cost-effectiveness in addressing tooth loss or damage, often lack in terms of overall functionality, stability, and chewing ability. Here are some drawbacks of non-implant dentures:
Reduced chewing ability : The lower denture's movement causes a significant decrease in chewing power, typically only allowing for 10-20% of the strength experienced with natural teeth. The constant pushing and pulling of the tongue and cheeks on the lower denture keeps it unstable.
Speech : Speaking may pose challenges due to the mobility of the lower denture.
Embarrassment : It is caused by the fear of dentures becoming loose and falling out, which leads to the inability to eat around others, laugh loudly, and converse confidently.
Feeling uneasy : Traditional dentures, particularly lower ones, have a tendency to shift, which can lead to gum irritation and discomfort due to rubbing and chafing.
Inadequate nutrition : Patients may struggle to consume a well-rounded diet and properly digest food due to the loss of chewing power.
Bone loss : When a person has their teeth extracted, they usually experience significant bone loss, which continues throughout their lifetime. Consequently, wearing traditional dentures becomes increasingly challenging as time goes on.
Gagging: The traditional upper denture is designed to cover the roof of the mouth for suction and stability. However, some individuals experience gagging due to this coverage. Trimming the denture to alleviate gagging can result in reduced stability and loss of natural suction.
Snap-In Implant Dentures greatly improve all of these issues.

FAQs are common Q&As
Timeline for the Snap-In Implant Dentures Procedure
On average, the process usually lasts for approximately 6 months from beginning to end.
1
Procedure
After extracting all the remaining teeth and completing any necessary oral surgery, the implants are placed into the jawbone. Following this, the implants typically become invisible and will stay undisturbed in your jaw for at least 4 months. This period allows for the fusion of your bone with the implants, a process called osseointegration.
2
Post Op
We are excited to meet you for a short post-operative appointment, usually scheduled for the day after your procedure. At this visit, we will evaluate your mouth, ensure that your dentures fit well, and answer any questions you may have.

Soft Liners / Soft Re-Fittings
Soft liners are cushions that are used in your denture while you heal. They help fill in the gaps between your gums and dentures, providing cushioning for your gums. These liners improve the fit and comfort of your dentures.
4
Uncovery
