Many people rely on traditional dentures held in place with adhesives like Fixodent, but this can be inconvenient, messy, and uncomfortable. Traditional dentures often cover the full palate, requiring glue to stay secure.

With the introduction of mini implants, we can now offer a superior solution: the snapping denture. This advanced option involves placing multiple mini implants in your mouth, creating a secure foundation. The denture is designed with attachments that “snap” onto the implants, much like a trailer hitch, providing a firm and reliable fit without the need for adhesives or the unpleasant taste that can come with them.

An added benefit of snapping dentures is that the palate portion can be removed, resulting in what is known as a horseshoe-style denture. This design eliminates bulk, improves comfort, and allows for a more natural feel, enhancing both taste and speech.

Snapping dentures are secure, comfortable, and easy to maintain, giving you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile without worry. This modern solution offers a significant improvement over traditional dentures, transforming your daily experience.
