SNAP-ON DENTURES (OVERDENTURES)
A SECURE & COMFORTABLE SOLUTION
For patients seeking the stability of dental implants with the convenience of removable dentures, snap-on
dentures—also known as overdentures—offer an ideal option. At Natural Teeth Implant Center, we specialize in
high-quality snap-on dentures that securely attach to dental implants, providing a confident, worry-free smile
while maintaining comfort and functionality.
WHAT ARE SNAP-ON DENTURES?
Snap-on dentures, also known as overdentures, are removable dentures that securely attach to dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and may shift or require adhesive, snap-on dentures “snap” into place on implants embedded in the jaw. This design provides a stable, comfortable fit that enhances both function and appearance.
For patients seeking more stability than conventional dentures but who prefer a removable option over a fixed implant-supported bridge, snap-on dentures offer the perfect balance of security and flexibility.
BENEFITS OF
SNAP-ON DENTURES
- Superior Stability: Snap-on dentures securely attach to implants, preventing shifting or slipping. This means you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Enhanced Comfort: Unlike traditional dentures, which rest directly on the gums and may cause discomfort, snap-on dentures are supported by implants, reducing pressure and irritation.
- Improved Chewing and Speaking: The secure fit allows for stronger biting force, making it easier to enjoy a wider variety of foods. It also enhances speech clarity by preventing movement while talking.
- Natural Aesthetics: Custom-designed for a seamless, lifelike appearance, snap-on dentures restore your smile with a natural look and feel.
- Easy Maintenance: Designed for convenience, snap-on dentures can be easily removed for cleaning, promoting better oral hygiene.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT SNAP-ON DENTURES
How do snap-on dentures differ from traditional dentures?
Snap-on dentures attach to dental implants for a secure, stable fit. This stability prevents the movement and discomfort often associated with traditional dentures that rest directly on the gums.
Can I remove my snap-on dentures at night?
Yes, snap-on dentures are designed to be easily removable. Many patients choose to remove them at night for cleaning and comfort.
How many implants are needed for snap-on dentures?
Typically, two to four implants are used to secure a snap-on denture. The exact number depends on your specific needs and bone structure, which we’ll assess during your consultation.
Are snap-on dentures comfortable?
Yes, snap-on dentures are generally more comfortable than traditional dentures because they do not rest directly on the gums. Instead, the implants provide support, relieving pressure on the gum tissue.
What is the recovery time for snap-on denture implants?
After implant placement, a healing period of several months is usually needed for the implants to integrate with the jawbone. Once healed, the denture can be attached. We’ll provide a personalized timeline based on your treatment plan.
