    Snap-in, Implant-Supported Dentures in Sterling, VA

    Potomac, Ashburn Denture Treatments

    Are you looking for a denture option that provides the most secure and comfortable fit? If so, snap-in dentures may be the perfect solution for you. Snap-in dentures are a type of full denture that uses two or more implants to lock securely into place. Once in place, these dentures can provide a much more natural feeling than traditional full dentures as they do not slip or require any messy adhesives. At WestLake Dental Care, we are proud to offer this popular tooth replacement option to any patients who are looking for a more stability and comfort.

    Traditional Dentures vs. Snap-In Dentures

    When comparing traditional dentures to snap-in dentures, the most obvious difference lies in how each type of denture is secured. Traditional dentures rely on adhesives and suction to stay in place while snap-in dentures are attached more securely with two or more dental implants. This not only provides a more secure fit but also allows for more natural movement of the denture. As a result, snap-in dentures can be much more comfortable than traditional dentures and even allow you to speak and eat with greater ease.

    The Snap-In Denture Process

    When you choose snap-in dentures, the process begins with a consultation and exam. During your appointment with our dentists here at WestLake Dental Care, we will evaluate your mouth to determine whether you are a candidate for this type of denture. If so, we can then begin developing an individualized treatment plan that is tailored to meet your specific needs. Once the plan is set in place, we will begin the following process:

    Initial Appointment: During your initial appointment, we will place two or more dental implants into your jawbone. 

    Healing: After the implant placement, you will need to wait for several weeks while the implants heal and integrate into your jawbone. 

    Fitting: Once healed, our dentists can then fit your denture with small connectors that are designed to lock securely into the implants. 

    Final Adjustment: During your final visit, we will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your denture fits comfortably and securely in place.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Snap-in Dentures Replacements

    • How long do snap-in dentures typically last?

      Snap-in dentures can last several years with proper care and maintenance. The denture itself may need replacement every 5–10 years, while the implants can last much longer with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.

    • Are snap-in dentures removable for cleaning?

      Yes, snap-in dentures are designed to be removable, making it easier to clean both the dentures and the implant attachments. This feature allows for better oral hygiene compared to traditional dentures.

    • Can snap-in dentures be used with existing implants?

      In some cases, snap-in dentures can be customized to fit over existing dental implants, depending on their condition and placement. A consultation with your dentist can determine if this option is viable for you.

    • What is the cost comparison between snap-in dentures and traditional dentures?

      Snap-in dentures generally have a higher upfront cost than traditional dentures due to the surgical placement of dental implants. However, they may save money in the long run by reducing the need for adhesives, frequent adjustments, or replacements.

    I've had excellent care for years. Dr. T is great at explaining everything, making it less stressful, and making sure you feel comfortable. Everyone is friendly and service is prompt. I would recommend Westlake Dental Care to anyone.
