Dentures can be an easy and inexpensive option for replacing an entire row of missing teeth. But over time, the shape of your gums can change, and without your tooth roots, your jawbone can begin to deteriorate or resorb. In addition, dentures can slip from time to time and require an adhesive to stay in place. They can also become uncomfortable as your day goes on. If any of these issues sound familiar to you, ask our dentists about snap-on dentures.

Snap-on dentures are also commonly known as implant-supported dentures or overdentures. In essence, they are traditional dentures that can be snapped into place over dental implants. In many cases, only two implants are required to support the dentures, although depending on your oral health, more implants may be required. The implants provide better stability than full or complete dentures, and the dentures themselves can be easily removed for cleaning and soaking.

Some of the other benefits of snap-on dentures include

• The ability to enjoy many of your favorite foods that you may have missed with dentures
• Improved comfort and function over traditional dentures
• Improved confidence and self-image
• A strengthened jawbone
