A Look at Snap-On Dentures
Our LOCATOR FIXED option is an innovative dental appliance that provides a secure and stable solution for missing teeth. Unlike traditional removable dentures held in place by adhesives, these sturdier dentures are anchored by dental implants surgically placed into the jawbone. Locator abutments are similar to buttons and are placed onto the implant. The housing that snaps onto the abutment is on the underside of the denture prosthetic. This advanced overdenture system enables a snug fit that allows you to live without worrying about slipping or uncomfortable dentures.
The Process for Implant Supported Dentures
Getting fitted for this teeth replacement device starts with a comprehensive dental assessment. If you are a candidate for LOCATOR FIXED dentures, we'll take an impression of the area where they will be placed. We'll create a temporary denture for you to wear while the final product is designed and created.
- Dental implants will be strategically placed into the jawbone
- You'll wear a temporary denture while the implants heal and strengthen
- Once healed, we'll attach the locator abutments
- A new impression will be taken for a precise fit
- After the permanent denture is created, it will be attached to the abutment
The Difference Compared to Traditional Dentures
With traditional dentures, there can be challenges such as slipping, clicking, or difficulty eating certain foods. Another common problem with traditional dentures is they don't help to prevent jawbone loss. Because of this, bone deterioration over time will require periodic replacement of dentures to maintain a proper fit. This deterioration can also lead to changes in facial structure and sagging. One of the many advantages of dental procedures that utilize implants is that they help promote healthy jawbones because they offer a function similar to a natural tooth root. The security provided by the implant support is unparalleled and a clear choice for smile makeovers.
