Snap-On Dentures / Overdentures – Secure, Removable Solutions in Jacksonville, FL

For patients who want the stability of dental implants combined with the flexibility of removable dentures, snap-on dentures (also known as overdentures) offer the perfect solution. At Natural Teeth Implant Center, we provide high-quality snap-on dentures that attach securely to dental implants, giving you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile without worry.

What Are Snap-On Dentures?

Snap-on dentures, or overdentures, are a type of removable denture that is secured to dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and may shift or require adhesive, snap-on dentures “snap” into place on implants embedded in the jaw. This design provides a stable, comfortable fit that improves both functionality and aesthetics.

Snap-on dentures offer a middle-ground solution for patients seeking more stability than conventional dentures but who may prefer a removable option rather than a fixed implant-supported bridge.

Benefits of Snap-On Dentures

  • Increased Stability: Snap-on dentures attach securely to implants, providing a stable, reliable fit. This stability means no more shifting, slipping, or worrying about your dentures moving out of place.
  • Improved Comfort and Fit: Traditional dentures can cause sore spots or discomfort due to pressure on the gums. With snap-on dentures, the implants support the denture, relieving pressure on the gums and enhancing overall comfort.
  • Enhanced Chewing and Speaking Ability: Snap-on dentures provide better biting force than traditional dentures, allowing you to eat a wider variety of foods. They also improve speech, as the secure fit prevents shifting while you talk.
  • Natural-Looking Aesthetics: Our snap-on dentures are custom-designed to look and feel like natural teeth. This gives you a confident smile and a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your facial features.
  • Easy Maintenance: Snap-on dentures are easy to remove for cleaning, allowing for simple, effective hygiene. This convenience makes it easy to maintain good oral health.

The Snap-On Denture Process at Natural Teeth Implant Center

Our snap-on denture process is straightforward and patient-friendly. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Initial Consultation and Evaluation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where our specialists evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals. Using advanced imaging, we assess your bone structure to determine the best placement for implants that will support your snap-on dentures.
  • Customized Treatment Plan: Based on your consultation, we design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan outlines the number and placement of implants, as well as the type of denture that will work best for you.
  • Implant Placement Procedure: The next step is the placement of dental implants in the jawbone. Typically, two to four implants are placed to secure the snap-on denture. We offer various sedation options to ensure a comfortable experience during the procedure.
  • Healing and Attachment of Denture: After the implants are placed, a healing period allows them to integrate with the jawbone, creating a stable foundation. Once healed, we attach the custom-designed denture, which snaps securely onto the implants.
  • Final Adjustments and Instructions: We ensure that your snap-on denture fits comfortably and securely, making any necessary adjustments. Our team will also provide instructions on how to remove, clean, and care for your new denture.
