How Do Snap-On Dentures Work?
From Dr. Eastwood at Summerbrook Dental & Implants – Fort Worth, TX
If you are missing teeth and want something more secure than regular dentures, you may be asking, “How do snap-on dentures work?” At Summerbrook Dental & Implants, Dr. Eastwood helps patients get their smiles back with lower snap-in dentures—a great option for comfort and stability.
Snap-on dentures are dentures that connect to small implants placed in your jawbone. These implants act like anchors to hold the denture in place. Instead of sitting loose on your gums like regular dentures, they “snap” into the implants, so they don’t move around when you eat or talk.
Dr. Eastwood offers snap-in dentures for the lower jaw, where regular dentures often feel loose and hard to keep in place. The implants help keep your lower denture steady and reduce slipping. This makes eating and speaking easier and more comfortable.
Many patients ask about top snap-in dentures, but Dr. Eastwood does not recommend them. In his experience, they often don’t last long and may not work as well. Upper dentures already have a good fit due to the shape of the upper jaw, so they usually stay in place without implants.
If you’re worried about your smile or haven’t seen a dentist in a long time, don’t stress. Our office is a no-judgment zone. We’re here to help, not to judge. Dr. Eastwood will take time to explain your options and help you decide what’s best for your needs and budget.
