Snap On Dentures vs Permanent Dentures
When comparing snap-on dentures to traditional dentures, snap ons offer superior stability in the mouth, giving wearers greater confidence in their smile.
One major drawback of traditional dentures has been their tendency to slip. This issue is resolved with snap-in or permanent dentures.
Instead of placing a titanium screw for each individual tooth, dentists now typically use two to four titanium screws in the upper and/or lower arch for securing snap-in or permanent dentures.
With these implant-supported dentures, you won’t have to worry about slippage, falling out, or developing sore spots. The dentures attach and detach easily, similar to how a lid snaps onto a container.
In contrast, permanent dentures are fixed in place and can only be removed by a dentist, ensuring they won’t come loose.
Benefits of Permanent Dentures
Additional benefits of permanent denture implants include:
- Reduced bone loss in the jaws since implants are placed and bridged together
- Elimination of the need for denture adhesive
- No sore spots on the gums
- Option to upgrade to an “All-on-4” system
- Durability of titanium implants, which do not decay or break
- Fixed and doesn’t come out
