Traditional dentures are a popular, economical tooth replacement option, restoring your smile and giving you a reason to smile again. However, combining dentures with dental implants offers increased stability and numerous oral health benefits.
If you wear traditional dentures and want to switch to snap-on dentures, we can take x-rays and examine your existing dentures to see if it’s possible to convert them.
Can Traditional Dentures Be Converted?
Although it’s sometimes possible to convert your traditional dentures into snap-on dentures, it’s usually a better idea to get a new set of dentures.
When you visit us for a consultation, we’ll explain how we determine if conversion is possible.
We base these decisions on the following:
- Condition — If your denture is in good shape and the teeth aren’t worn, conversion could be an option.
- Space — There needs to be enough space under your denture for the implant locators.
- Bone — For you to qualify for snap-on dentures, you must have sufficient bone density.
