What is convenience worth to you? Typically, conveniences like VIP parking or fast passes at an amusement park are expensive. However, St. Apollonia Dental offers affordable convenience with snap on dentures! These prosthetics are fully removable, while still offering the incredible stability of dental implants to keep them in place. If you’re interested in experiencing the ultimate convenience that implant dentures have to offer, book a free consultation with us to learn more about the snap on denture!
Understanding the Snap On Denture
Dental implants are titanium screws that secure in your jaw to create a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Due to their biocompatible nature, they form an incredibly strong bond with your jaw through a process called osseointegration.
Over a period of several months, the metal of your implant will integrate with your jaw, providing the stability necessary to anchor a denture restoration in place.
However, at St. Apollonia Dental, we also offer mini dental implants.
These titanium posts are the smaller version of conventional implants that osseointegrate at a much faster rate! Rather than waiting months to secure a final denture, mini implants allow patients like you to restore their smiles in just a few weeks.
Once secure, we can anchor your denture prosthetic with these implants, keeping it in place. While we offer a variety of implant denture options, snap on dentures are the only restoration that combines the stability of implants with the removability of a traditional denture.
Other, more permanent, implant restorations are more difficult to clean. These dentures are cemented in place, making it difficult to access the spaces underneath your prosthetic and around your implants. With the convenient removability of snap on dentures, you can remove your prosthetics after eating to clear them of debris and food particles! Then, make sure to gently brush around your implants to keep your gums healthy.
With a snap on denture, you can chew and speak confidently, and remove your prosthesis for easy cleaning afterward.
How to remove Snap On Dentures
Removing snap on dentures is fairly simple, as they’re built to be removed.
- For upper dentures, we recommend lifting the prosthetic from the back on either side near your molars. With a solid grip, gently push downwards until the prosthetic “snaps” off of your implants.
- For lower dentures, patients often push up at the front of their denture. Apply the same gentle pressure to “snap” the prosthetic off of your implants.
- For patients with mobility issues or difficulty getting a good grip on their prosthetic, using dental floss can help detach their denture. By running a string of floss underneath your restoration and gently pulling away from your implants, you can help pop the denture off of your implants.
Additionally, there are denture removal tools that help you remove your prosthetic. If you feel like you may benefit from one of these tools, inquire with the staff at St. Apollonia Dental!
Combining Convenience and Affordability
Surely, the convenience of being able to remove your denture for easy cleaning must increase the price, right?
At St. Apollonia Dental, our snap on dentures are actually less expensive than most of the other implant dentures we offer! Because these prosthetics utilize a small number of mini dental implants, they actually save you money while providing you with unmatched convenience.
Mini implants are much more affordable than conventional implants, as they have fewer components and a simpler placement process. Additionally, because snap on dentures only require 4 to 6 implants, they’re less expensive than our more permanent options!
For those still concerned about the cost of snap on dentures, we offer flexible financing plans! By splitting your costs into manageable monthly payments, you can keep restoring your smile within your budget.
