Snap On Dentures in Bend, OR
Snap on dentures, also known as denture implants, rely on the support of two to four dental implants per arch, offering a more stable alternative to traditional dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, snap on dentures eliminate the need for adhesives or creams due to their secure attachment to implants. Landing somewhere between traditional dentures and full-mouth dental implants, they strike a balance in terms of maintenance, support, and cost-effectiveness.

With snap on dentures, individuals enjoy enhanced stability and reduced strain compared to conventional dentures. This makes them easier to maintain and wear comfortably throughout the day.

What are snap on dentures?
Snap on dentures, also known as implant-supported overdentures, are a type of removable dental prosthesis that are supported by dental implants. They provide a more stable and secure fit compared to traditional dentures, as they snap onto implants that have been surgically placed in the jawbone.

What's the difference between snap on dentures and full-mouth implants?
A major difference between full-mouth implants and snap on dentures is that snap on dentures cover the roof to the mouth. This can make them feel less natural than full-mouth implants.
In terms of both bite and bone support, snap-on dentures are superior to traditional dentures but still offer less support than permanent fixed dental implants.
Maintenance for snap on implant dentures is identical to traditional dentures. That means needing to remove them to soak and clean them. Full-mouth dental implants can and should be brushed and flossed just like normal teeth.
