Technology has come a long way since our grandparents’ generation. These days, we don’t need to dial an operator to talk to someone on the phone, we just pick up the supercomputer in our pocket. Remember when TVs only had three channels? Now, we can stream every show or movie ever made on demand. So, with those leaps in technology in mind, why would you be satisfied with the same type of denture your grandparents used to replace their missing teeth? If you’ve been avoiding dentures because of embarrassment over how they look, feel, or function, we have a solution. Snap-in dentures harness the power of mini dental implants to offer a more stable, effective, yet still-removable tooth replacement solution.
Where Traditional Dentures Fall Short
Traditional removable dentures have been around for ages. They replace missing teeth, allowing folks to eat, talk, and smile like they once did. Yet, as many denture wearers have discovered, traditional dentures can often be a less-than-perfect solution.
While they replace missing teeth, they don’t replace your missing tooth roots. This means there’s nothing to stimulate your jawbone and keep it strong. Without that stimulation, the bone begins to deteriorate. That means the denture will lose its snug fit over time and begin to move around in your mouth. A deteriorating jawbone also leads to facial sagging.
There are solutions to solve these problems, but the results are temporary. For example, a denture reline will help your denture fit once again, but you’ll need to make periodic adjustments to keep up with your changing gums and jaw. Gooey adhesives can offer increased stability but are messy and require constant application. On top of this, they make the prosthetic difficult to clean.
The best way to stabilize loose dentures is with dental implants, or preferably mini dental implants. With these artificial tooth roots, we can transform removable dentures into sturdy snap-in dentures.
How Do Snap-In Dentures Work?
Snap-in dentures are anchored to your jawbone using mini dental implants that we strategically place in your mouth. These implants are small titanium screws that act as strong pillars to attach various dental restorations, from bridges and crowns to dentures. Snap-in dentures have corresponding housings that snap onto these implants. This provides far greater stability and functionality than traditional dentures while still allowing you to remove the prosthetic for cleaning.
Why Consider Snap-In Dentures?
Many people like to be able to remove their dentures but hate the issues that come with loose or floating dentures. Snap-in dentures provide the best of both worlds, combining the security of dental implants with the convenience of removable dentures.
- Stability: Say goodbye to worries about your dentures slipping or shifting. With snap-in dentures, you can confidently engage in everyday activities like talking, laughing, or biting into your favorite foods, knowing that your dentures will stay securely in place.
- Comfort: Unlike traditional dentures, which can often cause discomfort and sore spots due to movement, snap-in dentures feel more natural and fit securely, reducing the chances of irritation.
- Convenience: Forget about the hassle of messy adhesives! Snap-in dentures offer unparalleled ease of use. Simply “snap” them into place, and you’re ready to go about your day without worrying about slippage or discomfort.
- Confidence: You’ll feel more confident knowing your smile looks natural and stays firmly in place. Whether you’re socializing with friends or speaking in public, snap-in dentures give you the freedom to express yourself without any self-consciousness about your dentures shifting or becoming loose.
