Snap-In Dentures in Champaign

Snap-in dentures, sometimes called hybrid dentures, combine the practicality of removable prosthetics with the stability of implant dentistry. They really are the best of both worlds!

When you think about dentures, you might imagine dated or boxy-appearing prosthetics. Fortunately, dentures, especially implant dentures or snap-ins, have come a long way in recent years. They look completely natural and function beautifully. No one will guess your new smile isn’t wholly natural. All they’ll see is an aesthetically pleasing grin. With snap-in dentures, you’ll also enjoy a diverse diet, which can be difficult with removable dentures alone. No rocking, tilting, or adhesives are required!

What Is a Snap-in Denture in Champaign, IL?

Using dental implant technology, snap-in dentures are customized prosthetics secured to the upper and/or lower jaw.

They are stable in the mouth and won’t shift or tilt. However, you can remove them for cleaning. After cleaning, you simply snap the prosthetic back in, and you’re all set.

Snap-in denture implants in Champaign, IL, come with many benefits. Besides restoring your smile, they offer the following advantages:

• Removability: You can remove snap-in dentures for cleaning or gum evaluations in our dental office.
• Cost-Effective: We use six or fewer implant posts to secure an entire upper or lower arch rather than a single implant for every lost tooth.  
• Jawbone Support: Snap-in dentures protect your jawbone from loss and deterioration.
• Diverse Diet: Dental implants restore chewing function so you can enjoy a wide range of foods without the hassle of prosthetic movement or slippage.

It’s difficult or impossible to compare fixed dentures to their removable counterparts because snap-in dentures' long-term stability and benefits are night and day. For example, tooth loss causes the jawbone to deteriorate. Removable dentures will not stop this process, but implant or snap-in dentures will.

If you wear dentures or have substantial tooth loss, you may be a candidate for snap-in dentures. Your Champaign dentist will evaluate your case to ensure candidacy. This initial evaluation is an excellent time to ask questions and share your concerns with the dentist. We’ll discuss costs and let you know what to expect.

If you’re not a candidate for snap-in dentures, the dentist explains why and may recommend alternative treatments to restore your smile.
