What Are Snap-In Dentures?

Snap-in dentures are removable dentures that attach to dental implants placed in your jaw. They use special parts called locator abutments to connect the denture to the implants.

This kind of treatment helps people with missing teeth smile, chew, and speak with confidence again. It’s a simple, powerful way to improve your oral health and protect your jawbone over time.

Snap in Dentures Procedure in 209 NYC Dental

Here’s how the process works at 209 NYC Dental:

Step 1: Clinical Evaluation

Your journey starts with a full clinical evaluation by our doctors, DR Ifraimov and/or Dr. Wang. We check your gums, jawbone, and overall oral health to make sure snap-in dentures are the right choice for you. In some cases, we may take a CBCT scan to check the shape of your jaw.

Step 2: Implant Surgery & Temporary Denture

Next, Dr. Jin Wang places 2 to 4 dental implants into your jawbone during a short procedure. These implants act like new roots for your teeth. They help keep your jaw strong and stop future bone loss that can happen after tooth loss.

While your implants are healing, we give you a temporary denture fabricated by our experienced on-site lab technician, so you can still smile, eat, and go about your day.

Step 3: Healing Period

As your jaw heals, the implants begin to connect with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This healing can take a few months.

Step 4: Denture Design & Fabrication

Once your implants and gums have healed and are ready, we begin designing your custom snap-in dentures. Dr. Ben Ifraimov takes detailed impressions of your gums, jaw, and mouth to make sure the final denture fits perfectly and looks natural. With the precise impressions and guidance from Dr. Ifraimov, our lab technician fabricates your final denture in our on-site lab to match your bite, smile, and the shape of your jawbone.

Step 5: Snap-In Delivery

Finally, Dr. Ifraimov delivers your new snap-in dentures. These implant-retained dentures feel firm and stable when in place—no more slipping or loose dentures. Yet they remain removable, so you can take them out easily for daily cleaning with a soft-bristled toothbrush and keep your gums and implants healthy.

Benefits of Snap-In Dentures

• More stability and comfort without adhesives
• Up to 80% chewing function depending on bone health
• Easy to remove and clean at home
• Helps preserve jawbone and facial shape
• Improves appearance, speech, and confidence

Snap-in dentures offer a major improvement over traditional dentures by using implants to add support and stability—without giving up the convenience of being removable. They help restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile with comfort and confidence.

Here’s what our patients experience with this treatment at 209 NYC Dental:

1. More Stability and Comfort
   Because snap-in dentures are attached to implants, they don’t move around like regular dentures. This reduces friction on the gums, eliminates the need for pastes or adhesives, and gives you a stronger, more natural feel throughout the day.

2. Eat the Foods You Love Again
   Removable implant dentures help many patients return to a much broader diet. According to our patients, snap-in dentures restore up to 80% of chewing power, depending on factors like bone density, jaw shape, and implant support. Some people even report nearly no limitations on the foods they enjoy.

3. Easy to Remove and Clean
   Unlike fixed dentures, snap-ins can be removed at home for daily cleaning. This helps keep your gums, tongue, and implants healthy and lowers the risk of infection or complications. A simple soft-bristled toothbrush is all you need for basic care.

4. Protects Jawbone and Facial Shape
   Implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural  teeth. This is a critical health benefit. They help prevent the bone loss that often occurs with tooth loss and long-term use of conventional dentures. With implants you jaw keeps its shape and your smile stays more natural over time.

5. Fewer Long-Term Drawbacks
   Snap-in dentures avoid many of the common issues with regular dentures—like slipping, messy adhesives, or sore spots. With proper maintenance, most patients enjoy many years of comfort, function, and improved oral health.

6. Boosted Confidence and Self-Esteem
   Many of our patients say snap-in dentures gave them their smile and self-esteem back. Being able to speak, laugh, and enjoy meals without worrying about their dentures has made a life-changing difference.

Snap-On Denture Alternatives in NYC

Choosing the right type of denture depends on your oral health, budget, lifestyle, and long-term goals. At 209 NYC Dental, we provide multiple options to help restore your teeth and confidence. Below are some of the most common alternative denture solutions and how they compare.

Snap-In Dentures vs. Traditional Dentures

If you’re deciding between snap-in dentures and traditional dentures, it’s important to understand how they differ in comfort, performance, and long-term oral health.

Here’s a simple side-by-side comparison to help you see the difference:

Fixed Implant Supported Dentures (All-on-4 or All-on-X)

• Fixed dentures permanently attached to 4–6 dental implants
• Look and function more like natural teeth
• Not removable by the patient; require professional maintenance
• Higher cost, but fewer long-term complications for eligible candidates

Full Traditional Dentures

• Also known as conventional dentures, these rest on the gums without the support of implants
• May feel loose or unstable over time, especially with bone loss
• Require daily removal for cleaning and adhesives for better fit
• Most affordable upfront option, but often need adjustments or replacement

Partial Dentures

• Replace some but not all missing teeth
• Clipped to natural teeth for support using metal or acrylic hooks
• Removable and lower cost implant options
• Good option for patients with a mix of damaged teeth and healthy ones

Our dentist will perform a full clinical evaluation to determine which option offers the best benefits and fewest drawbacks for your needs.

Whether you need to replace several teeth, improve oral health, or seek a long-term treatment plan, we’ll help you make an informed decision.

Who’s a Candidate for Snap-In Dentures in NYC?

Snap-in dentures can be a great option for many patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth, especially in the lower jaw. If you’re looking for more stability, better chewing ability, and long-term support for your oral health, this treatment may be right for you.

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Are missing all or most of your teeth
• Are tired of dealing with loose, uncomfortable, or poorly fitting traditional dentures
• Want a more stable and natural-feeling removable denture
• Have enough healthy jawbone to support 2–4 dental implants
• Are in good general health and able to undergo minor oral surgery
• Are committed to caring for your implants and dentures with regular cleaning

What If I Have Bone Loss?

At 209 NYC Dental, we evaluate every case carefully. Some patients may have bone loss due to years of tooth loss or wearing regular dentures. If you have limited bone volume, Dr. Jin Wang may recommend:

• Using only 2 implants instead of 4, if clinically appropriate
• Bone grafting or other procedures to rebuild jawbone support

Our 209 NYC implant denture specialists will help you weigh your health, jaw condition, lifestyle, and budget to recommend the best solution. Call and book your Free Consultation today!

Patient Success Story

From Infection to Confident Smile

Patient had few teeth remaining in the lower jaw but they were loose and had infection around them.

Lower arch panoramic x-ray showing many teeth missing and reaming 4 teeth are in a very bad condition: broken, sever bone loss, wear due to bruxism, periapical pathology.

Dr. Jin Wang removed the lower teeth, and placed four implants the same day.

Dr. Wang placed 4 implants in preparation for future implant overdenture.

Four months later, after implants healed, patient was ready for implant overdenture. On the same visit as patient came in for the final visit with Dr. Jin Wang, Dr. Ben Ifraimov took preliminary impression and 3 visits later patient had full mouth of lower teeth with no more infection or decayed teeth.
