Snap-On Dentures

Oral health is an essential aspect of our lives, and it's crucial to keep our teeth healthy and intact. However, sometimes accidents or dental issues can result in tooth loss. If you find yourself in this situation, don't worry – there are options available to you.

Dentures have been an effective solution to tooth loss for a long time now. However, dentures do have certain limitations – they aren't always the most natural option, and you don't get to choose precisely how your denture looks. Sometimes they might come loose while talking or eating, and they may require a lot of upkeep to keep them looking and feeling great.

Snap-On Dentures Procedure

The implants for this procedure are usually placed in the jawbone at the front of the mouth because there tends to be more bone in the front of the jaw than in the back.

The time frame to complete the implant depends on many factors, and it’s different for each patient depending on their situation. But the average time it’s around 6 months for both jaws including the initial diagnosis, surgeries and the placement of the denture. When the patient needs a bone graft treatment or other preliminary procedures, the process can last a year or more.

Usually, each patient needs two surgeries. During the first one, the implants are placed in the jawbone under your gums; while in the second surgery exposes the tops of the implants. It’s important to clarify that the second procedure needs to be done between three to six months after the first.

Advantages of Using Snap-On Dentures

The following are some of the critical advantages of Snap-On dentures:

Stability

Snap-On dentures are very stable, and they won't come loose like other denture options. These dentures stay securely in place, allowing you to eat or talk without any worries.

This feature prevents the dentures from becoming loose or shifting in your mouth when you talk or eat. It also prevents denture debris from getting stuck between the dentures and your gums, which can be uncomfortable and hard to clean.

Another great benefit of Snap-On dentures is that they can help improve your chewing ability. The dentures make it easier to chew your food because they are shaped and will provide you with more stability while you eat.

When compared to conventional dentures, Snap-On dentures are much more comfortable. They don't rub against the gums, which can be very uncomfortable and painful. This option keeps your mouth healthy and happy so that denture discomfort won't be an issue anymore.

Easy to maintain

Another great benefit of Snap-On dentures is that they are easy to maintain. After a few days, you won't even notice them because they fit so well and look so natural. Compared to other denture options, Snap-On dentures require minimal effort from the patient to keep them clean and looking great.

Snap-On Dentures careHow to care for Snap-On dentures

Like dentures, Snap-On dentures require routine care to ensure they are well maintained. Following are some tips for caring for your Snap-On dentures:

Brush them regularly with a soft-bristled brush

Just like you brush your teeth every day, the dentures need to be cleaned too. You can use a toothbrush with a denture cleanser to clean the dentures. Denture cleanser provides a thorough clean without being too harsh on the denture material. After brushing your denture, rinse it in water and let them air dry so bacteria won't grow on them.

Store dentures in denture solution

After you brush your dentures, it's a good idea to fill a small bowl with denture solution and soak the dentures for a few minutes. Soaking will help kill off any bacteria you may have missed during your brushing session. After five minutes, rinse the dentures in cold water and air dry.

Get dentures refitted as needed

If your Snap-On dentures start to become loose or you notice they are not fitting correctly, get them refitted right away. A denturist will make necessary adjustments to ensure the dentures fit comfortably and securely in your mouth after each use.

Be careful with hot and cold food

Avoid hot foods that can warp dentures or freezing foods that might cause the dentures to crack. These dentures are made from a careful combination of materials and have been designed to be durable, but it's still best to use some common sense when dealing with denture care.

Snap-On dentures can be an excellent denture option for anyone who wants to restore their teeth without breaking the bank. They are designed to improve your quality of life, making your daily tasks easier because dentures don't have to interfere with anything. Snap-On Dentures are affordable, simple, and effective compared to other denture options available today.

Snap-On Dentures Price

Regular dentures and Snap-on Dentures have their differences, starting with the cost. The price consists of two components: the new denture and the supporting dental implants.

The design and fabrication it’s similar to a conventional denture, where little or no preparatory work is needed in order to obtain the cast for the upper and lower sets of dentures. The work performed during the implant surgery is what increases the cost of this procedure, which makes it a little higher than with regular dentures.
