For people who have lost all or most of their teeth, snap-in dentures offer a more permanent option than traditional removable dentures. They are also more comfortable to wear and require less maintenance than conventional dentures.
Traditionally, dentures depend on suction between the gums and the prosthesis to hold them in place. This is a weak force, and it may be difficult to achieve an ideal fit with traditional dentures. This can lead to discomfort, irritation and even damage to the surrounding tissue.
If you are interested in the benefits of a full mouth of implant-retained dentures, we invite you to schedule a consultation at Blyss Dental. We’ll be happy to explain your options and help you make the best decision for your individual needs.
The first step in getting snap-in dentures is to get dental implants surgically placed in your jaw bone. During this surgery, the oral surgeon will extract any remaining teeth and then perform bone grafts to build up your jawbone before implant placement.
Next, the implant-retained dentures are made using a dental laboratory and are placed securely on your implants. This process can take multiple appointments, depending on the patient’s unique needs.
One of the biggest advantages of snap-in dentures is that they are much more stable than traditional dentures, so they won’t fall out in a social setting. This is important for many patients because it can make them feel more confident in their smile.
Moreover, they can be cleaned just like natural teeth and do not affect the types of food you can eat or drink. They are very natural looking and are very easy to maintain with regular brushing and flossing.

Do Snap-In Teeth Pop Out When Eating?
The answer is yes, but not in the way that you think. The orthodontic implants used for snap-in dentures are actually integrated with your mouth’s biting action and can generate a higher amount of force than a traditional denture. This increases the amount of chewing power, making it easier to eat the foods that are most familiar to you.
In fact, researchers have found that the maximum biting force of snap-in dentures can be up to 300% greater than a traditional set of teeth. This increase in force can be extremely helpful to your eating and speaking performance, and it also gives you more control over the shape of your bite.
