If you wear dentures, you may want something that provides you with greater stability and comfort when you bite, chew or speak. At the same time, you may not be in a position to receive a full set of dental implants. We suggest you call Wylie Smiles at 972-961-1744. Our dentist, Dr. Alekhya Patagarla, can see you for an appointment to discuss overdentures in Wylie, Texas.

While dentures are a great way to restore your smile if you are missing teeth, sometimes changes to the gums and bone over time can result in an improper and less stable fit. Our dentist can provide snap-on dentures as an alternative option to restore your smile.

Snap-on dentures, sometimes referred to as overdentures or implant-supported dentures, are held in place by several strategically placed implants. The denture then “snaps on” to those implants to restore your smile and give you a stable and reliable solution for your teeth and oral health. Snap-on dentures typically require only two implants to be placed, though more may be recommended based on your individual needs. These implants provide a stable foundation for your dentures so that they can remain in position when you chew. They also make it easy for you to insert the denture and remove it for daily cleaning and maintenance.

Advantages of snap-on dentures include:

1. Attachments that prevent your denture from pressing down too hard on the gumline and causing discomfort or problems with the gums
2. Significantly greater function and comfort than traditional removable dentures
3. Increased stability for your dentures, including no “floating” or loose dentures
4. Improved confidence
5. The ability to eat and drink what you want
