Snap-In Dentures

Unlike conventional dentures, which can potentially slip out of place, snap-in dentures are more stable and versatile.Dental implants or screws placed within your jawbone hold snap-in dentures in place. Typically, two to four implants are used in each jaw, although depending on the need and your budget, you may have as many as 10 inserted.

Once the implants are in your jaw, an implant-retained or implant-supported denture (also sometimes referred to as an overdenture) can be set in place.Depending on how the overdenture and implants are created, the overdenture itself may be fixed permanently in place, or it might be removable for cleaning purposes.
