What Are Snap-in Implant Dentures?

Snap-in Implant Dentures vs. Traditional Dentures

The key distinction between Snap-In Implant Dentures and traditional dentures lies in their stability and functionality. Traditional dentures rely on adhesive and the natural suction of the gums to stay in place, which can result in occasional slippage and discomfort. In contrast, Snap-In Implant Dentures are securely attached to dental implants, eliminating these concerns and providing a more natural feel.

The benefits of Snap-In Implant Dentures include enhanced chewing ability, improved speech, and a more comfortable fit. Additionally, they help prevent bone loss in the jaw, promoting better oral health in the long run.

Are You a Candidate for Snap-in Implant Dentures?

Whether you are a candidate for Snap-In Implant Dentures involves a comprehensive evaluation by our experienced dental professionals at Riverpark Dental of Howell. Here are some factors that may influence your candidacy:
  • Oral Health: You should have overall good oral health. Any existing dental issues, such as gum disease or decay, may need to be addressed before moving forward with implant dentures.
  • Bone Density: Sufficient bone density in the jaw is crucial for the success of dental implants. If bone loss occurs, additional procedures such as bone grafting may be considered to augment the jaw.
  • Medical History: A review of your medical history is essential to ensure that you don't have any conditions that may complicate the implant procedure or affect the healing process.
  • Commitment to Oral Hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene is critical for the long-term success of Snap-In Implant Dentures. Candidates should be committed to regular dental check-ups, dental cleanings, and proper care of their implant-supported dentures.

How Many Implants Do You Need?

The number of implants required for Snap-In Implant Dentures can vary based on individual needs and the jawbone's condition. Typically, at least two implants are used for each arch, but in some cases, additional implants may be recommended for increased stability and support.

At Riverpark Dental of Howell, our dental professionals will thoroughly examine your treatment plan, including the number of implants needed, during your consultation. Rest assured, we are committed to ensuring your comfort and satisfaction.

Snap-in Implant Dentures Procedure Timeline

The process typically takes around 6 months from start to finish.

Procedure

Following the extraction of any remaining teeth and the completion of other necessary oral surgery procedures, the implants are inserted into the jawbone. Subsequently, these implants typically remain concealed from view. They will rest undisturbed in your jaw for a minimum of four months, allowing your bone to fuse with them through a process known as osseointegration.

Postoperative Care

A prompt postoperative appointment is scheduled, usually on the day following your procedure. During this appointment, we will assess your oral condition, ensure optimal comfort with any dentures, and address any queries you may have.

Soft Liners and Refittings

Soft liners, acting as cushions, are periodically placed in your denture during the healing process. These liners fill the gaps between your healing gums and dentures, providing cushioning for your gums and enhancing the fit and feel of your dentures.

Uncovery

This involves a minor surgical procedure where we uncover the implants and affix small healing abutments atop them. This step is crucial for shaping your gum tissue appropriately and preparing for the finalization of your snap-in dentures.

Attachment of Implants to Dentures

The transition from healing abutments to denture abutments takes place, accompanied by the necessary procedures to securely attach your dentures to the implants. While this step is typically completed within a day, it may occasionally extend slightly beyond that timeframe.
