A More Secure Fit
Snap-on dentures are a preferred tooth replacement solution among patients with significant tooth loss. These cost-effective dentures are anchored to the mouth with metal posts implanted in the patient’s jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures, snap-on dentures won’t move throughout the day. They are securely attached to the mouth, allowing patients to eat and speak without any worries of their appliance slipping.
Benefits of Snap-On Dentures:
- Provides more stability than traditional dentures
- Comfortable
- Retains jawbone strength
Snap-On Dentures Vs. Removable Dentures
It can be difficult to determine which type of dentures is right for you. We want to help you choose a denture that fits your needs, lifestyle, and budget. We outlined the key differences you should consider when choosing between snap-on dentures and removable dentures below:
- Snap-on dentures require more frequent replacements: Snap-on dentures wear out faster because of the strain of snapping the appliance in frequently. Removable dentures typically have a lifetime of 5-7 years.
- Removable dentures are more affordable: Snap-on dentures require the implantation of metal posts, and the structure of the appliance is more complex, making them more costly than removable dentures.
- Snap-on dentures involve more chair time: Since you need implant surgery for snap-on dentures, they require more appointments and time in the dentist’s chair.
- Removable dentures have less recovery time: Removable dentures only have recovery time if the patient needs teeth removed. While it typically takes patients two weeks to recover after their implant surgery for snap-on dentures.
- Snap-on dentures provide more stability and comfort: A sticky adhesive that has to be applied daily keeps removable dentures in place. Snap-on dentures are securely anchored to the mouth via dental implants, allowing more comfortable taking and eating.
If you are looking for a cost-effective, comfortable tooth replacement solution, schedule a consultation for snap-on dentures. We will let you know if you are a good candidate and create a treatment plan to help you achieve the beautiful, functional smile you deserve.
