What are
Snap-on Dentures?
Snap-on dentures, also known as snap-in dentures and overdentures are held in place with a click in device, Helping keep the denture in place more securely. Often times, it can reduce the need for denture adhesives. Like traditional dentures, snap-on implant dentures are usually made of natural-looking acrylic resin.
Many traditional denture wearers complain about fit and function issues, especially with lower dentures because tongue movement dislodges their dentures when they chew and speak. Traditional dentures sit on top of your gums and require suction and denture adhesive to stay in place, whereas snap-on dentures in Mesa, AZ rely on implants for greater stability and retention.
Attachments on the top of the implants create a snapping mechanism, enabling you to eat, speak and smile, better than with traditional implants.

The Pros and Cons of
Snap-on Implant Dentures
Snap-on dentures typically provide 10 to 40% of normal biting force versus just 0-10% with traditional dentures. This is still well below the functionality provided by non removable fixed All on 4 full-mouth dental implants. In addition, repeated snapping in and out of the denture prosthesis multiple times per day can lead to quicker wear and tear, resulting in diminished snap retention and a perceived feeling of looseness.
In addition, any denture supported by gum tissue is prone to a change in fit because the gum line can recede or resorb. An implant overdenture requires occasional refitting, in general, every three to five years to maintain the most optimal fit and comfort.
