What are snap-in dentures?
Snap-in dentures are removable arches of prosthetic teeth that securely attach to dental implants permanently placed in your jaw. Depending on your dental needs, your dentist may recommend a single arch to replace a row of teeth, or two arches to restore both rows of your smile.

How do snap-in dentures work?
Snap-in dentures are one of the most secure-fitting tooth replacement solutions available to you. Through surgically-placed dental implants, these dentures snap in securely and easily to the implants, functioning and feeling like your natural teeth.
How long do snap-in dentures last?
The lifespan of snap-in dentures can vary based on several factors, including oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and the quality of dentures.
At Aspen Dental, our snap-in dentures come with a 7-year warranty, and the titanium implants that the snap-in dentures securely attach to are designed to last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
How much do snap-in dentures cost?
Snap-in dentures, referred to as implant dentures at Aspen Dental, can vary in cost. A few factors that can impact the cost of your snap-in denture care are:
The number of dental implants required
The number of dentures needed (1 or 2 full arches)
Any additional dental treatments needed to prepare your mouth, including extractions.
How should I care for snap-in dentures?
Caring for snap-in dentures involves regular cleaning of both the denture and the implant posts. Remove and rinse your dentures daily, using a soft brush to gently clean around the attachments. Clean the implant posts with a soft toothbrush and use any recommended cleaning products provided by your dentist. Regular check-ups help maintain the condition of both the implants and dentures, ensuring longevity and hygiene.

How to properly clean snap-in dentures
To care for snap-in dentures also means to care for your implants. They both go hand-in-hand for proper cleaning and maintenance. Here’s a quick guide for cleaning your snap-in implant dentures:
1. Remove at night: Take out dentures before bed to give your gums a break.
2. Rinse and brush: Clean both dentures and dental implants with lukewarm water and a soft-bristled brush, using fluoride toothpaste for implants.
3. Soak overnight: Place dentures in a non-alcoholic cleaning solution or tablet for freshness and stain prevention. Learn more about how to clean dentures here.
4. Brush gums and around implants: Use a soft brush on your gums and around implants to remove debris and maintain gum health.
5. Floss carefully and remove plaque: Use floss with shred-resistant stiff ends and a pliable middle. When flossing, carefully clean in between and around each implant. Avoid standard unwaxed string floss as it can shred and cause infection.
To remove any plaque or calculus build-up from implant surfaces, use a plaque-removing tool recommended by your dentist or hygienist designed for gentle removal.
6. Rinse before reinserting: After soaking, rinse dentures thoroughly to remove any cleaning solution, snap-in and you’re ready to go.
Are there any limitations to snap-in dentures?
Snap-in dentures offer excellent stability, but they may require periodic adjustments to ensure a proper fit over time. Additionally, candidates must have sufficient jawbone density to support implants.
Some patients may experience mild discomfort during the initial healing process, but this is typically manageable and temporary. Consult with your Aspen Dental professional to understand if snap-in dentures are the right solution for you.
How do snap-in dentures differ from traditional implants?
Snap-in dentures are typically supported by 2-6 strategically placed implants that anchor the denture securely in place, allowing the denture to "snap" in for improved stability. While they do require multiple implants, snap-in dentures may use fewer than traditional full fixed arch solutions. This makes snap-in dentures a stable, removable solution ideal for patients seeking improved function with fewer implant than a full fixed arch solution.
Additionally, snap-in dentures are a more affordable alternative to traditional full fixed implant solutions, offering a secure and cost-effective option for those upgrading from conventional dentures.
