If you lose a tooth in a snap-on implant partial you simply add another tooth. If you lose a tooth in a conventional partial, you essentially will lose everything you paid for and will have to start over.

Implant connections eliminate that possibility.

PARTIAL SNAP IN DENTURES UPGRADE
You can usually upgrade your implant denture when finances or the need for stability presents itself. More implants can be added over time in many cases as you can afford them. Generally, people choose the 2 implant retention options due to finances. Anytime we can limit movement in your new set of teeth you will achieve better stability and more comfort. More implants also prevent the new teeth from collecting food underneath while chewing. However, 4 or more implants are often preferred to prevent the implant teeth from rocking forward or back. This also helps ensure that the eventual denture does not rock. Implant placement is designed to spread the implants apart from one another so that the chewing forces are distributed over a larger area. Usually, we place a minimum of 2 implants in the lower jaw for the support of lower implant restoration. This is a very popular option for treatment in our offices. This is a significant improvement over a conventional denture that will be significantly bulkier and will alter your sense of food temperature and flavor when eating. The upper appliance is designed in a horseshoe shape that does not cover the palate completely. These premium attachments provide long-term success for patients who want the security of an implant denture at roughly a 30% savings over a comparable fixed implant set of teeth. Usually, we place 4 or 5 implants in the upper jaw, and a denture is made with snap connectors of 2 brands: we like Locator attachments and Equator attachments in our practice. These snap-on connectors are durable and offer a lower cost option when compared with fixed or “screw-in” dental implant teeth. A snap-on set of teeth in our office means that a snap connector joins the removable set of teeth to your implant in your jawbone. Implants can be used under removable appliances and anchor them to the jaw wherever teeth have been lost.
PARTIAL SNAP IN DENTURES FULL
When implants are used to secure removable dental work like a full or partial denture, many difficulties can be alleviated and h2er chewing forces and comfort can be the reward. When most or all teeth are lost it can be difficult or impossible to eat even the softest foods comfortably.Ĭonventional dentures can result in sore spots on the soft gum tissues when used on harder foods or for an extended time.
