Implant-supported dentures, also called “snap-on” dentures or over dentures, are ideal for people who want to replace missing teeth through a strong, removable option. Many of our patients like snap-on dentures because they offer more security than traditional dentures that can slip while chewing and cause irritation to the gums.
Implant-supported dentures give you a set of artificial teeth that are held in place by permanent dental implants. These implants connect to the jawbone, and the dentures “snap on” to them. This combination gives you the ability to take out your dentures when you go to sleep but then quickly put them back in the next day. No denture adhesive is necessary!
Most importantly, snap-on dentures use dental implants that help promote healthy bones and your facial profile. These implants stimulate the bone where they’re installed, preventing degradation that can alter your facial structure, skin tone, and affect your speech and diet.
