Implant Supported Overdentures (Snap-In Dentures) in Towson MD
At Implant and Surgery House in Towson MD, we offer implant supported overdentures, also known as snap-in dentures, for patients seeking a more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. This treatment uses dental implants to securely anchor your denture, allowing it to “snap” into place while remaining removable for easy cleaning.
Compared to conventional dentures, implant supported dentures provide improved stability, better chewing ability, and increased confidence when speaking or smiling.
What Are Implant Supported Overdentures?
Implant supported overdentures are dentures that are stabilized using dental implants placed in the jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures that rely only on suction or adhesives, snap-in dentures attach to implants through special connectors.
Typically, two to four implants are placed in the jaw, and the denture securely snaps onto these implants. This provides significantly better stability while still allowing the denture to be removed for daily hygiene.
This treatment is a popular option for patients who want improved function without committing to a full fixed implant bridge.
Benefits of Snap-In Dentures
Implant supported overdentures offer many advantages over traditional dentures:
• Significantly improved stability and retention
• No need for messy denture adhesives
• Better chewing ability and comfort
• Reduced movement when speaking or eating
• Preservation of jawbone through implant support
• More affordable than full fixed implant solutions
Many patients find that snap-in dentures provide a life-changing improvement in comfort and confidence.
Benefits of Snap-In Dentures
Patients who currently wear loose dentures or have difficulty chewing with traditional dentures may be excellent candidates for implant supported overdentures.
Ideal candidates generally have:
• Missing teeth in the upper or lower arch
• Adequate jawbone for dental implants
• Healthy gums and good overall oral health
During your consultation, Dr. Genc will perform a detailed evaluation using advanced 3D imaging to determine if snap-in dentures are the right solution for you.
