How much do snap in dentures cost?

Restoring your smile with snap-in dentures requires a variety of materials that includes prosthetic teeth, titanium implants, connectors or abutments. Additionally, the number of implants a patient requires significantly impacts the price, as more implants mean more materials and labor. Your Aspen Dental care team will discuss your options and determine the right care plan for you.

The cost of snap-in dentures can fluctuate depending on your geographical location you select. Typically, urban areas and regions with a higher cost of living tend to have elevated prices, whereas smaller towns or rural areas may provide more affordable alternatives.

In some cases, patients may require additional dental treatments before fitting snap-in dentures. These preparatory procedures, which can include tooth extractions, bone grafts, or treatment for gum disease, add to the overall cost but are essential for ensuring the best possible outcome. Our Aspen Dental care team will help you create a tailored treatment plan so you understand what you will need prior to getting snap-in dentures.

Aftercare is crucial in maximizing the lifespan of your snap-in dentures. This includes regular check-ups, professional cleanings, and possibly replacements of certain components over time.

Snap-in dentures provide a significant advancement in both stability and comfort over their traditional counterparts. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and can often slip or cause discomfort, snap-in dentures attach securely to implants placed in the jawbone. This secure attachment not only prevents the dentures from slipping but also greatly improves the wearer's ability to chew efficiently. This feature is especially beneficial for enjoying a wider variety of foods with confidence.

The procedure begins with the surgical placement of dental implants into the jawbone. These implants act as anchors for the dentures. After your implants are placed, a period of healing is required, during which the implants integrate with the bone, creating a sturdy foundation. During the healing process you will go home with a healing denture, so you are never without teeth. This healing phase can vary in duration but is crucial for the success of the procedure. Once the implants have fully integrated and you’re fully healed, custom-made dentures are then meticulously crafted and attached to the implants. This entire procedure can sometimes spans several months, ensuring that the patient ends up with a secure and comfortable fit.

Absolutely, snap-in dentures are designed to enable you to enjoy a wide variety of foods with comfort. Thanks to their secure fit, they significantly reduce the dietary restrictions often associated with traditional dentures, allowing you to expand your culinary horizons. This enhanced stability ensures that you can bite and chew with greater confidence, making your dining experience much more enjoyable. Whether you're savoring crunchy vegetables, sizzling steaks, or your favorite snacks, snap-in dentures make it possible to maintain a diverse and satisfying diet.

It's common to experience some discomfort initially, particularly following the implant surgery required for these types of dentures. This is mainly due to the invasive nature of the procedure, where implants are placed into the jawbone to anchor the dentures securely. As the surgical sites heal, which may take a few weeks, patients might experience sensitivity and discomfort.

Your Aspen Dental care team will work with you to ensure your pain is managed during healing to put your mind at ease. However, once the healing process is complete, snap-in dentures are generally considered comfortable. They are designed to fit snugly and securely, minimizing movement and the associated irritation that can come with traditional dentures. With proper care and adjustment, the discomfort during daily use is usually minimal, allowing individuals to eat, speak, and smile with confidence and without pain. As always, your Aspen Dental care team is ready to take care of any adjustments you should require during the process.

The dental implants of the snap-in denture have a success rate of about 98%, creating a stable foundation for the implant-support denture. Made from bio-compatible materials like titanium, these implants fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration, forming a solid foundation that enhances comfort and functionality. The success rate can vary based on oral health, bone density, and proper care.
