Snap-On Dentures
Snap-On Dentures in Farmington Hills, MI
At Smile at Life Dentistry, we offer Snap-On Dentures, a removable yet stable solution for patients who want more comfort and functionality than traditional dentures. With Snap-On Dentures, you can enjoy a secure fit that allows for easier eating, speaking, and smiling—all without the slipping or discomfort associated with regular dentures.
What are Snap-On Dentures?
Snap-On Dentures are a type of implant-supported denture that uses dental implants as anchor points. The dentures “snap” into place using special attachments that connect them to the implants, making them more secure than traditional dentures that rely solely on suction or adhesives. With Snap-On Dentures, you’ll benefit from a stable and removable option. They are typically used when patients have enough bone to support implants but prefer a more affordable or removable alternative to All-on-4 dental implants.
Why Choose Dr. Francis Haik for All-on-4 Implants?
Dr. Francis Haik’s extensive experience in dental implants and his fellowships in both the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists set him apart as a leader in implant dentistry. With his expertise, you can trust that your All-on-4 procedure will be performed with the highest level of precision and care.
Key Benefits of Snap-On Dentures
- Enhanced Stability: Unlike traditional dentures, Snap-On Dentures won’t slip or move while eating or speaking.
- Removable for Easy Cleaning: The dentures can be easily removed, allowing for convenient cleaning and maintenance.
- Cost-Effective: Snap-On Dentures are available for $7,500 per arch, including both the denture and implants.
- Improved Comfort: Patients often report less irritation and more comfort compared to traditional dentures.
- Custom Fit: Each set of Snap-On Dentures is custom-made to fit your unique smile and facial structure.
Who is a Good Candidate for Snap-On Dentures?
Snap-On Dentures are an ideal solution for patients who struggle with the fit and function of traditional dentures or those who are looking for a more affordable, removable option compared to permanent implant-supported solutions like All-on-4. Patients must have enough bone density to support the necessary implants, which we can assess using our advanced CBCT imaging technology during your FREE consultation.
The Snap-On Denture Process at Smile at Life Dentistry
At Smile at Life Dentistry, we guide you through the Snap-On Denture process step by step:
- Consultation and Planning: We start with a FREE consultation and CBCT scan to evaluate your oral health and determine if you’re a candidate for Snap-On Dentures. We will also plan the exact placement of your dental implants.
- Implant Placement: During the procedure, 2-4 implants are placed in the jaw to serve as the anchors for your Snap-On Dentures.
- Attachment of Dentures: Once your implants have healed and integrated with your bone (typically over a few months), your custom-made Snap-On Dentures will be fitted to snap securely onto the implants.
- Final Adjustments: We’ll ensure that your new dentures fit perfectly, giving you the stability and confidence you deserve.
How Do Snap-On Dentures Compare to All-on-4?
While both Snap-On Dentures and All-on-4 offer a more secure alternative to traditional dentures, they have some key differences:
- Permanence: Snap-On Dentures are removable, while All-on-4 prosthetics are permanently fixed to the implants.
- Implants Required: Snap-On Dentures usually require 2-4 implants, whereas All-on-4 typically uses 4 implants per arch.
- Cost: Snap-On Dentures are priced as low as $220 per month, making them a more affordable option than All-on-4.
- Functionality: All-on-4 provides a more natural feel and function, closely resembling real teeth, while Snap-On Dentures offer stability but may not feel as natural due to the removable design.
- Cleaning: Snap-On Dentures can be easily removed for cleaning, while All-on-4 prosthetics require normal brushing and flossing, just like natural teeth.
