Dentures have long been a trusted and reliable solution for tooth loss. However, as you get older the gum and bone structure can change, leading to ill-fitting dentures. For those that struggle with ill-fitting conventional dentures, Snap-in Dentures are an excellent alternative that offer better stability and chewing ability. In addition to this, they also look more natural and feel more comfortable.

Snap-in dentures are stabilised by dental implants which prevent them from slipping as you eat, speak or smile. In contrast, conventional dentures sit on top of the gums and are prone to moving or falling out while eating. Dental implants also help to preserve the health of the jaw bone by preventing bone resorption and stimulating new bone growth.

Enhanced Dental Hygiene

Snap in dentures can be removed for cleaning, allowing you to brush and floss the area under the implants more thoroughly than with regular dentures. Moreover, the ability to remove them allows for better oral hygiene, reducing the risk of infection or irritation to the gums.

Preservation of Bone and Gum Health

The fact that they are anchored in the jaw bone helps to prevent bone resorption and stimulates new bone growth, which reduces the risk of further tooth loss and improves your facial structure. Additionally, the implants are designed to mimic your natural teeth, so they provide a more natural and youthful appearance.

Many patients find that they can eat a much wider range of foods with snap-in dentures, compared to traditional dentures. This increases their nutritional intake, ensuring that they are receiving all of the essential vitamins and minerals that they need.

The main disadvantage of snap-in dentures is that they are more expensive than traditional dentures, and they may not be covered by insurance. In addition, some patients may require a bone graft in order to be able to support the implants that are required for this treatment, which can add to the overall cost of the procedure.

Nevertheless, the benefits of snap-in dentures far outweigh the costs. They can significantly improve the quality of your life, giving you back a full, healthy and confident smile that you can be proud to show off.
