Implant Supported Dentures Stay with You

If you suffer from loose, shifting, or uncomfortable traditional dentures, you know how frustrating it is to worry about your teeth slipping while eating or speaking. Messy denture adhesives offer only temporary help and often fail when you need them most. Snap-on overdentures combine the affordability of dentures with the solid stability of dental implants, giving you a firm, dependable smile you can wear with complete confidence.

At Lakeview Comprehensive Dentistry, we craft custom removable overdentures that snap securely onto dental implants. Utilizing our advanced 3D CBCT imaging and our master in-house dental laboratory, we design beautiful, natural-looking replacement teeth that stay firmly in place throughout your day.

Dental Implants

Today’s preferred tooth replacement, dental implants, look, feel, and function so much like natural teeth that you probably won’t know the difference. Dental implants typically consist of three parts: a threaded, screw-like titanium post, a crown, and an abutment, which links the other two components. With implant supported dentures, we insert the post into your jawbone to replace your tooth roots and anchor your dentures in your mouth.

Bone Grafting

We can only place dental implant posts if you have healthy jawbone with sufficient mass to anchor them. In you’ve suffered significant decay in your jawbone, we can rebuild it through a procedure called bone grafting. This is where we remove a small piece of bone from your body or another natural source and place it in the area of lost bone. Eventually, the grafted bone grows together with the existing bone, making you a candidate for dental implants.

Tooth Extractions

Dental implants aren’t only used as substitutes for missing teeth, they’re also perfect replacements for extremely worn, decayed or broken teeth. If you have any teeth like that, we will need to remove them before we can place your dental implant posts. We’re typically able to complete tooth extractions during the same appointment as your dental implant post placement.

Benefits of Implant-Retained Overdentures

Upgrading from conventional dentures to a snap-on overdenture offers life-changing improvements to your comfort, speech, and oral health:

  • Eliminate Denture Slippage: Your teeth remain securely attached to your implants so you can talk, laugh, and smile without fear of embarrassing movement.

  • Restore Chewing Power: Secure attachment allows you to eat a much broader variety of foods compared to traditional removable dentures.

  • No More Messy Adhesives: Say goodbye to pastes, powders, and creams forever.

  • Preserve Jawbone Density: The underlying dental implants stimulate your jawbone, helping prevent the progressive bone loss that occurs with traditional dentures.

  • Improved Upper Arch Comfort: Upper snap-on overdentures can often be designed with reduced palate coverage, making eating and speaking far more natural and comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Snap-On Overdentures

Most snap-on overdentures require two to four dental implants per arch. Our doctor will review your 3D CBCT scan to determine the ideal number of implants needed for maximum stability.

Yes. Snap-on overdentures are designed to be removed by you every night for routine cleaning and to give your gum tissues a healthy rest while you sleep.

You remove the denture daily and clean it gently using a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive denture cleanser.

A snap-on overdenture is removable by the patient daily and rests on both your gums and your dental implants for support, combining tissue support with implant stability. A fixed full arch restoration, or All-on-4 is permanently secured to four or more implants, is never removed at home, and is supported entirely by the implants rather than the gums.
