What it is

'Snap-in denture' is the everyday name many people use for a denture that snaps onto implants in your jaw. At Saberton Denture & Implant, we call it a denture on implants, or DOI.

A lot of patients tell us a snap-in denture feels more secure than a regular one when they eat and talk. You take it out to clean it, just as you would a regular denture.

If you've been searching for snap-in dentures, this is the idea behind the name. Your denturist designs the denture around how you want to look and eat. Our surgical partner places the implants it snaps onto, once they've looked at your mouth in person.

Snap-in is one kind of overdenture. Overdenture is the wider name for any denture that sits over implants and connects to them, and it includes a denture on a bar.

Also called

Not to be confused with

Fixed on Implants (FOI): teeth that stay in and are removed only by your dental team.

What it means for you

Your denturist can show you how a snap-in denture goes on and comes off, and how you'd clean it. What fits your mouth is decided with you, in person, by your denturist and our surgical partner.
