Snap-On Dentures
Some of the major complaints patients have with traditional dentures include comfort, stability and appearance. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Evan Grodin is focused on offering smile restoration solutions that are effective and long-lasting. Snap-on dentures are one approach that can address many of the concerns you may have with the traditional approach.
Dental implants are placed to provide support and increase the stability of dentures. A removable denture then snaps onto the dental implants, providing the wearer with greater comfort and functionality. These dentures are not designed to wear 24 hours a day and should be removed overnight in the same way as traditional dentures.
Stability is the main goal of snap-on dentures, as the false teeth are attached to implants using special locators that match the positioning of implants. This offers patients more security and ensures greater comfort. Dr. Grodin has the experience and skills to create snap-on dentures with precision and accuracy.
Benefits of Snap-On Dentures
While stability is the most obvious benefit of snap-on dentures, there are other reasons patients may choose this restoration option. For example, traditional dentures require the use of adhesives which are often messy and feel uncomfortable in the mouth. The snap-on functionality negates the need for adhesives.
Even when using the best adhesives with dentures, they can rub against the gums can cause discomfort and irritation. Patients who wear snap-on dentures report that this issue is greatly reduced. Dr. Evan Grodin will further reduce discomfort by ensuring that dentures are a close fit for the shape of your gums.
If you have experienced problems eating or speaking with traditional dentures, a snap-on prosthesis could provide solutions. Overall stability is significantly improved, allowing the wearer to enjoy food and conversation again.
Maintaining snap-on dentures is easier than dealing with many other tooth restoration devices. This option is often better suited to patients who struggle with brushing and flossing due to physical or cognitive impairments.
Every patient is different when it comes to the benefits of snap-on dentures. At his Atlanta prosthodontist office, Dr. Evan Grodin can discuss your suitability for this solution during an oral health consultation. Contact us today to learn more.
