The most important part of a house is its foundation. You can decorate your space to your heart’s content and fill it with expensive decor and fancy silverware, but without a solid foundation, your house would crumble. Dentures, much like a house, need to be stable, too. Traditional dentures can feel like you’re trying to balance a house on stilts, constantly shifting and unstable. Snap-in dentures, however, are like a house securely anchored into the ground. At the Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, our doctors offer snap-in dentures supported by innovative mini dental implants! These implants create a solid foundation for your dentures, giving you a beautiful and stable smile that lasts for years!
What Is a Snap-In Denture?
These dentures are a set of artificial teeth that have a pink base like regular dentures, but that is where the similarity ends. Snap-in dentures are less bulky than traditional ones without compromising stability. That’s because they rely on stability from dental implants instead of your gum ridge or upper palate.
With our snap-in dentures, the false teeth “snap” onto 4-8 mini dental implants placed through the gums and into your jawbone. Our doctors can then securely connect the restoration to the implants, and they will only come out when you choose to remove them. Unlike traditional dentures, snap-in dentures don’t shift, fall out, or slip in your mouth.
Traditional dentures, especially lower ones, are often unstable. As your jawbone deteriorates over time (a consequence of tooth loss), your dentist must reline or adjust your dentures, leading to additional expenses.
With snap-in dentures supported by mini implants, your dentures are securely held in place—no denture glue needed! Our doctors offer snap-in dentures for both upper and lower teeth, providing a more stable and comfortable experience, especially for lower dentures. Unlike traditional upper dentures, snap-in dentures don’t require a bulky plate covering the upper palate, allowing you to fully enjoy the taste of your food. This innovative solution to tooth loss has revolutionized the field of dentures, offering a superior alternative to traditional options.
Mini Dental Implants: Your Denture Foundation
At the Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we use mini dental implants to secure snap-in dentures, offering a stable and comfortable solution for denture wearers. These small titanium posts, less than 3 millimeters in diameter, provide a minimally invasive method for ensuring denture stability. We carefully insert the mini implants into your gums, securing them in the jawbone. Because mini implants are stable right from the start, we can attach dentures immediately, giving you fast and reliable results.
Traditional dental implants, on the other hand, are around 5 millimeters in diameter and consist of multiple components. Due to their larger size and more invasive nature, traditional implants require a long healing period, with each part being placed over multiple appointments. This complexity—not to mention the extended healing times and numerous visits—makes traditional implants a costly choice. In contrast, mini implants are a single-piece solution, which allows our doctors to place them in just one visit, providing immediate and effective stability at a more affordable price.
If you already have dentures but want them to be more secure, we may be able to modify them to snap onto mini implants. Depending on their condition, we can stabilize your loose dentures, enhancing their fit, comfort, and function—without needing to replace them with new ones.
The Cost of Snap-In Dentures
Many insurance companies do not cover dental implants, but more and more are updating their policies. If you need help understanding your dental coverage, give us a call. We can help you determine exactly what your insurance plan covers.
If your insurance doesn’t cover implants or you don’t have dental insurance, we offer incredible financing options that can make your dental care affordable. By partnering with three separate financing companies, we provide affordable options that help you receive the care you need. At the Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we believe money shouldn’t be a barrier to oral health!
