In this video, Dr. Rose Magno explains how implant dentures, such as Snap-on dentures, secure loose dentures using mini implants. They provide stability with minimal maintenance. Schedule a consultation at our Emeryville office to learn more.
Many patients come to us because their dentures are unstable and move around, which can be uncomfortable and inconvenient. Mini dental implants offer a great solution. By placing implants into your jaw, we can either retrofit your existing denture or create a new one that snaps securely onto the implants. This is called an overdenture or a snap-on denture, which provides stability and eliminates the discomfort of loose dentures.
One significant advantage of mini implants is that they require less maintenance than traditional dental implants. Since there are no screws or multiple components, you can clean your dentures just like regular ones, with no additional fees for specialized maintenance. This makes mini implants a cost-effective option compared to traditional implants, which can have higher maintenance costs over time.
