In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and rely on adhesive, snap-in dentures click onto 2-4 implants placed in the jawbone, giving them a secure foundation. The patient can remove them for cleaning and sleep. Benefits include eliminating denture adhesive, preventing the denture from slipping or clicking during eating and talking, better chewing ability (about 60% of natural bite force vs. 10% with conventional dentures), and slowing jawbone loss. Snap-in dentures are less expensive than fixed All-on-4 implant bridges while offering much better function than traditional dentures. Lower jaw snap-in dentures with just 2 implants are the most common and cost-effective option.
