What are snap-in dentures and how do they work?
If you’re suffering from extensive tooth loss and decay, there are many options to save your smile. Snap-in dentures, also known as implant-retained dentures or overdentures, are one of the most durable, natural-looking, and sturdy options available today. Dental implants help anchor the dentures in place, preventing them from slipping or causing discomfort. Plus, they can help preserve your jaw bone, which reinforces your natural face shape and prevents premature aging. You can still remove your snap-in denture for easy cleaning and maintenance. With proper care, snap-in dentures can last for many years, making them a great long-term solution for tooth replacement.

Are snap-in dentures more expensive than traditional dentures?
