Removable denture implants, or artificial dentures, are dental devices that attach to small implants in your gums. They are sometimes referred to as snap-on dentures as they “snap” onto the implants in your mouth and are easily removed for eating, cleaning and sleeping. Implant retained dentures generally consist of two dental implants that act as anchors to prevent dentures as moving. They are classified as Implant retained because the denture is still supported by the soft tissue (gums). How do removable dental implants work? This is a multi-step treatment process: Dental implants will be placed into the jaw and left to adhere to the jaw bone for about 2 months this allows the bone to grow to the implant at a cellular level. A customized set of overdentures will be created for you to comfortably fit your mouth and replicate the shape and color of a natural set of teeth The overdentures will be attached to the implants for a secure, non-slip fit and worry-free teeth. Advantages Much easier cleaning. Because the prostheses can be removed, cleaning takes much less effort and time Lower cost For patient with severe bone loss, implant overdentures can provide additional facial support. This is an advantage allowed by the denture extension under the lips to fill in the space where bone was lost A snap-on denture snaps on and off dental implants. The denture rests on the implants, not on your gums. You can sleep while wearing it. But you must be diligent about daily cleaning the denture so you can keep your breath fresh and maintain good oral hygiene
