Snap-In Implant Dentures In Andersonville
Consider consulting with your dentist to explore the advanced dental option of Snap-In Implant Dentures. These dentures offer a secure and stable alternative, providing enhanced stability, improved chewing efficiency, and preserving jawbone health. Additionally, they have a natural appearance and are convenient to maintain.
What Are Snap-In Implant Dentures?
Enhance your dining experience | By anchoring your denture with dental implants, individuals can enjoy a wider variety of foods and chew with increased strength and self-assurance.
Non-removable | Not removable from the mouth like a denture.
Enjoy a carefree smile and laughter without the fear of your dentures coming loose
Experience enhanced comfort | Dentures with reduced movement, minimal rubbing and chafing
Improve your nutrition | Enhance digestion
Perfect for individuals with insufficient bone | Ideal for those who have been informed about their inadequate bone for implants.
Prevent Bone Loss with Dental Implants | Although bone loss can still occur after tooth extraction, dental implants offer a solution by stimulating the jawbone and promoting ongoing bone production.
Reducing gagging | In some cases, part of the palate can be surgically removed to expose the roof of the mouth. This procedure helps minimize or eliminate the sensation of gagging from dentures.
Improved comfort | Dental implants provide a significant improvement in comfort by minimizing or eliminating the discomfort caused by denture movement.
Enhance your food tasting experience | Certain individuals with implants may opt to have a portion of the palate on their upper denture removed, resulting in an improved ability to taste their food.
Snap-In Implant Dentures vs. Traditional Dentures
Although traditional dentures are known for their aesthetic appeal and affordability as a solution for damaged or missing teeth, they often fall short in terms of overall functionality, stability, and chewing capability.
Disadvantages of traditional (non-implant) dentures:
Reduced chewing ability | The lower denture's movement causes a significant decrease in chewing power, typically only allowing for 10-20% of the chewing capacity compared to natural teeth. The constant pushing and pulling of the tongue and cheeks on the lower denture leads to its instability.
Speech | Speaking can be challenging because of the mobility of the lower denture.
Embarrassment | Triggered by the fear of dentures becoming loose and falling out, hindering the ability to eat in public, laugh freely, and engage in confident conversations.
Discomfort | Traditional dentures, particularly lower ones, have a tendency to shift and slide, leading to potential gum irritation and discomfort.
Poor nutrition | Once again, as a result of diminished chewing ability, individuals may find it challenging to consume a well-rounded diet and adequately chew their food for optimal digestion.
Bone loss | Following tooth extraction, individuals commonly experience significant bone loss, which continues throughout their lifetime. Consequently, wearing traditional dentures becomes increasingly challenging as time goes on.
Gagging | Many individuals experience gagging due to the traditional upper denture that covers the roof of their mouth. This denture is designed to provide suction and stability but can be problematic for some. Trimming the denture to alleviate gagging can result in reduced stability and the loss of natural suction.
Snap-In Implant Dentures greatly improve all of these issues.

Snap-In Implant Dentures Procedure Timeline
On average, the process usually lasts for approximately 6 months from beginning to end.
1
Procedure
Once all remaining teeth are extracted and any additional oral surgery procedures are completed, the implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone. Subsequently, the implants are usually not visible as they remain undisturbed in your jaw for a minimum of 4 months, allowing for osseointegration, the process of your bone bonding with the implants.
2
Post Op
Please schedule a post-operative appointment for the day after your procedure. During this visit, we will assess your mouth, ensure the dentures fit comfortably, and address any inquiries you may have. We look forward to seeing you then.
3
Soft Liners / Soft Re-Fittings
Soft liners are used as cushions in your denture during the healing process. They serve to fill the gaps between your gums and dentures that occur as you heal, providing a cushioning effect for your gums. By improving the fit and feel of your dentures, they enhance your overall comfort.
4
Uncovery
This is a smaller surgical procedure where we expose the implants and place small healing abutments on top of them to properly shape your gum tissue and prepare you to finish your snap-in dentures.
5
Attachment of Implants to Dentures
We will replace your healing abutments with denture abutments and complete the necessary procedures to connect your dentures to your implants. Typically, this process can be completed within a day, although occasionally it may take a bit longer.
