Full & Partial Dentures

Unlike traditional dentures that rely on suction, snap-on dentures in Palatine, IL, attach securely to implants placed in the jawbone. This provides added stability for eating, speaking, laughing, and smiling.

How Do Snap-On Dentures Stay in Place?

Snap-on dentures are typically anchored to two or four surgically placed dental implants. We will evaluate your smile, jawbone, and tooth loss to determine whether implant-supported dentures are a good choice for you.

In some cases, you may require bone grafting or other pretreatments to help make snap-on dentures a reality. 

Are Snap-On Dentures Clean and Comfortable?

You can brush or clean around the implant posts to maintain good oral hygiene.

With snap-on dentures, there is an adjustment period, and you might initially experience gum soreness or tenderness. We will make any necessary adjustments to help your dentures fit comfortably and function properly over time. Routine dental appointments can also help maintain a healthy smile.
