SNAP-ON IMPLANT TEETH

Boost your confidence with snap on smile treatment in Shrewsbury, PA

When most or all teeth are lost, it can be difficult or impossible to eat even the softest food comfortably. Conventional dentures can result in sore spots on the soft gum tissues when used on harder foods or for an extended time. When implants are used to secure removable dental work like a full or partial denture, many difficulties can be alleviated and stronger chewing forces and comfort can be the reward.

Implants can be used under removable appliances and anchor them to the jaw wherever teeth have been lost. 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. These snap-on connectors are durable and represent a lower-cost option when compared with fixed or “screw-in” dental implant teeth.

SHREWSBURY, PA IMPLANT OPTIONS

DIFFERENT TYPES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

There are many different snap-on implant options in Shrewsbury, PA

Implant snap-on teeth are an excellent choice for those shocked by the high-priced implant solutions offered by the large chain practices like ClearChoice. There are many other options and price points that we can offer in OUR practice not available in corporate implant schemes. We have the personal experience, knowledge, and willingness to work out personalized and unique implant plans for all of our patients. You will not find these options elsewhere, and we look forward to helping you with your implant needs.

FULL UPPER SNAP-ON IMPLANT DENTURE

Usually, 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 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. The upper appliance is always designed in a horseshoe shape that does not cover the palate completely. 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. This is a very popular option for treatment in our offices.

FULL LOWER SNAP-ON IMPLANT DENTURE

Usually we place a minimum of 2 implants in the lower jaw for the support of a lower implant restoration. Implant placement is designed to spread the implants apart from one another so that chewing forces are distributed over a larger area and so that the eventual denture does not move. Four or more implants, however, are preferred to prevent the implant teeth from rocking forward or back. More implants also prevent the new teeth from collecting food underneath from chewing. Anytime we can limit movement in your new set of teeth, you will achieve better stability and more comfort. People choose 2-implant retention generally due to finances. More implants can be added over time in many cases. You can usually upgrade your implant denture when finances or the need for stability presents itself.

PARTIAL SNAP-ON IMPLANT TEETH

If you have teeth remaining that can be saved, it is always a good idea to keep what you have. We have found that using implants to secure even partial sets of teeth is an excellent option for these reasons:

Implants secure the appliance better than clips on a conventional “partial”

Clips on partials place stress on teeth that can ultimately cause the loss of that tooth

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

Implant retention with snaps looks better, there are no clips or wires for you or others to see in your smile

All On Four Implants

With all on four implants, a dental professional will surgically insert four titanium posts into your jawbone as the main anchors, so there is no need to replace each lost tooth individually. Instead, they can then attach a permanent denture to those four areas for a seamless look across your entire mouth.

All Porcelain Crowns

All-porcelain crowns are the most widely used crowns for their natural look and metal-free composition. Porcelain-fused-to-metal is less costly. Although the metal composition may cause a gray-colored gum line over the crown, they look like natural teeth.

TESTIMONIALS

After years of putting off dental work and meeting with other dentists suggesting that I “try this, or try that” I met Dr. Haywood. He explained exactly what we needed to do to address the corrections needed, and provided a treatment plan that made sense. Very happy with my results and would recommend Southern York Smile Care to anyone considering dental work, or looking for a new dentist!

Made me feel at ease. Great staff as well. Very caring! Amanda was so gentle, and you can tell she genuinely cares. I had to get 4 needles in my mouth and I have to say it was virtually painless. I can’t say enough how great they are. Dr. Haywood, I just wanted to say thank you to you and your staff.

Great treatment at Dr. Haywood’s dental office. It’s great to feel very confident in your dentist’s ability and care.

The staff is kind, and Dr. Haywood was not too busy to talk to me and explain everything to me and answer all my questions. He even put in music that I like while working on my teeth. Personal.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are snap in dentures the same as implants?

Fixed dental implant bridges are more permanent treatment options to replace missing teeth, while snap-on smiles are not. Both options use dental implants made of titanium serving as replacement roots for your teeth, holding your new teeth in place.

Do snap-on teeth look real?

Many people think snap-in teeth are considered more natural-looking than conventional dentures, and patients have an easier time eating harder and stickier foods. Compared to traditional dentures, snap-in teeth tend to fit more comfortably, as there is less friction on the gums.

Can snap-on dentures be a partial denture?

As opposed to committing to a mass extraction to make way for a full denture, patients can be fitted with snap-on partial dentures with implants. These implant dentures combine two very successful treatment options to give the wearer the best of both worlds.

How long do snap-on implants last?

Generally, snap-on implant teeth may need to be replaced every twelve to eighteen months as a result of wear and tear on the attachment. With repeated snapping in and out of the denture, attachments eventually wear out over time, resulting in diminished snap retention and perceived looseness of the snap-on teeth.

Can you get snap-on smile with missing teeth?

The snap-on smile treatment is a perfect option for anyone who is missing teeth to consider. Snap-On-Smile can mold a patient’s teeth and provide the patient with a complete set of attractive dental substitutes.
