OverdenturesSnap-On Implant-Supported Dentures
- Snap-on overdentures are removable dentures that click onto 2–4 dental implants per arch, providing dramatically improved retention compared to conventional dentures.
How Do Snap-On Overdentures Work?
Implants are placed in the jawbone and fitted with locator or ball attachments, and the denture's matching female components snap onto them. The denture stays firmly in place during eating and speaking but can still be removed by the patient for cleaning.
