Snap-In Dentures a Type of Removable Dentures

Snap-in dentures, also called implant-supported dentures, are a type of overdenture anchored on dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rely on adhesive or suction, snap-in dentures are securely attached to dental implants, which provides enhanced stability and comfort.


Snap-in dentures provide a practical and attractive solution for missing teeth, with several advantages over traditional dentures.


Improved Stability:  Snap-in dentures can be firmly attached to dental implants in the jawbone. This attachment keeps the dentures in place while you are eating, talking, or laughing, giving you peace of mind and confidence throughout the day.


Comfort Enhanced: Due to their dependence on adhesive or suction, traditional dentures may cause discomfort and irritation of the gums. Snap-in dentures rest securely on implants and minimize friction, pressure, and irritation to the gums.


Improved Chewing Efficiency:  Snap-in dentures are more efficient at chewing because they attach securely to dental implants. You can enjoy a wide variety of food, even tougher or sticky items, without having to worry about your dentures falling out of place.


Natural Appearance: Snap-in dentures can be custom-made to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and alignment. This creates a seamless, aesthetically pleasing appearance. The dentures fit snugly over the gums and stay firmly positioned to create a natural smile.


Preservation of Jawbones:  Dental implants stimulate your jawbone and prevent bone resorption, often caused by traditional dentures. This can help maintain your facial structure and reduce the sunken look often caused by bone loss.

Snap-In Dentures: The Procedure

Arverne Dental's Dr. Lyuba Taft will walk you through the entire process of snap-in dentures.

  • Initial Consultation:

    Dr. Taft conducts a thorough evaluation, which includes X-rays or 3D scans, to determine whether you are a good candidate.


    She will review your dental history and treatment goals. A personalized treatment plan will be developed.

  • Dental Implant Placement:

    Preparation for Surgery: To ensure your comfort, local anesthesia will be administered. If desired, sedation options are also available.


    Implant Placement: The implants are placed in the jawbone by surgery and allowed to integrate over several months.

  • Healing & Osseointegration:

    After the implant is placed, the jawbone will fuse the implants after a 3 to 6-month healing.

  • Attachment for Snap-In Dentures:

    Fitting and Adjustment: Snap-in dentures can be custom-made for your mouth once osseointegration has been completed.


    Attachment: Dentures are attached securely to implants with locator attachments or connectors of a similar type.

Caring for Your Snap-In Dentures

Care and maintenance are essential to ensuring your snap-ins work effectively and last long. This comprehensive guide will help you care for your snap-ins:

  • Daily Cleaning:

    Snap-in dentures, just like natural teeth, require daily cleaning to prevent plaque accumulation, which may lead to infection, bad breath, or gum disease.


    Remove your dentures and brush them gently with a toothbrush that has a soft bristle and a non-abrasive cleaner. Make sure you clean the locator attachments as well.


    Use a soft brush or interdental toothbrush to clean the area around dental implants.


    Before placing dentures back into your mouth, rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm water.

  • Regular Checkups:

    Dr. Taft should regularly check dentures and dental implants.


    Professional cleaning can remove plaque that is hard to reach and keep implants and dentures in top condition.


    Dr. Taft also checks the locator attachments of your dentures or implants and makes any necessary adjustments to ensure they fit securely.

  • Avoid Hard Foods:

    Snap-in dentures are more stable, but it is still important not to bite down on hard objects such as ice, nuts, or hard candy, as this can damage denture attachments.


    Cut up sticky or tough foods into smaller pieces and chew them carefully to avoid putting excessive strain on your dentures.

  • Soak Overnight:

    Dentures that snap in can be cleaned and maintained overnight, soaking them in a denture solution.


    Remove any debris or plaque before soaking. Rinse them thoroughly the next morning before attaching them to your implant.


  • Maintenance and Attachments:

    The locator attachments used to secure dentures to implants can wear out over time, resulting in a less secure fit and requiring replacement.


    Dr. Taft replaces worn-out attachments during regular checkups to ensure your dentures snap into place.


  • Handle With Care:

    Handle your dentures carefully when cleaning or removing them to avoid damaging or dropping them.


    While cleaning, place a soft cloth or a water basin under the surface to absorb any accidental spills.

Following these guidelines will help you maintain a healthy, confident smile and prolong the life span of your dentures. At Arverne Dental Dr. Lyuba Taft and her team will always be available to answer your questions and advise on how to care for your dentures.
