Snap-On Dentures - Glendive, MT
Revolutionizing the Tried-and-True Denture
Your smile is a key part of how others perceive you, so missing teeth can impact your confidence and overall well-being. If you’re avoiding your favorite foods, hiding your smile, or skipping activities you once loved, our compassionate and experienced dentists are here to help.
At Sandcreek Dental in Glendive, MT, we provide high-quality, affordable snap-in dentures to restore your smile. Whether you’ve lost one tooth or many, implant dentures can transform your appearance and restore your confidence and full oral function.
Snap-in dentures, also known as overdentures, implant dentures, or snap-on dentures, offer a great middle ground for those concerned about traditional dentures slipping or causing gum irritation but not yet ready for full mouth dental implants. At first glance, they look just like conventional dentures, but beneath the surface, they feature special attachments that snap securely onto a few fixed dental implants. Pressing down puts the dentures firmly into place on the implant abutments.
Implant dentures eliminate the need for messy adhesives and significantly reduce issues like slippage, gum irritation, and speech difficulties. The dental implants also act as artificial tooth roots, helping to prevent bone loss, jaw shrinkage, and unwanted facial changes. Remember that if you choose implant dentures in Glendive, MT, the prosthesis must still be removed at night and cleaned regularly, just like traditional dentures.
"Premature Aging Beware: Why Dentists Might Think You Need Dentures"
During your consultation for implant-supported dentures in Glendive, MT, our team will determine if any decayed or damaged teeth must be extracted and if you need a bone graft to create a strong foundation for your dental implants.
In addition to an oral exam, we use our cone-beam computed tomography scanner to assess the condition of your underlying jawbone and the position of nerves and sinuses to plan precision implant surgery. We’ll discuss several options, the timeline, and costs to help you make an informed decision.
We use sedation dentistry to ensure your procedure is as comfortable as possible during dental implant surgery. Small incisions are made in your gum tissue in predetermined locations, the implants are placed in your jawbone, and the gum tissue is sutured closed.
Dental implants take 3-6 months to integrate with your underlying bone. You’ll wear a healing denture while you wait for your implants to integrate. After the fusion process, we’ll take impressions of your upper and lower dental arches and send them to a specialized dental lab to fabricate your new dentures. When you return to Sandcreek Dental, we’ll demonstrate how to snap on, remove, and clean your denture and discuss proper oral hygiene practices.
