Snap-In / Clip-On Dentures
This treatment requires 2 separate travel arrangements.
The ability to chew and speak normally can be luxurious if you have lost the majority of all your teeth, or you are already using conventional dentures. Conventional dentures AKA removable dentures can fall out or rub against the gum line and weaken the jawbone over time. These were great in the past, but now there is a better option to replace them permanently.
The Snap-in AKA Clip-on Dentures are supported by implants that hold the dentures in place. Differently from the regular implant connection points (Abutments), locators are being screwed on the top of the implants.
The number of implants required to retain the dentures is a minimum of 2 for each jaw. The amount will be determined by our expert dentists after a thorough examination.
Your Treatment Plan
This treatment requires 2 separate travel arrangements.
1st Visit
Your first visit will be 6 nights and 7 days. You will have 2-3 appointments at our clinic.
Our Professional Dental Team will take X-Rays and carefully review your case. They will review your medical history of chronic diseases and general current condition, like if the jaw bone can hold the titanium posts or if there is any other underlying condition. After the detailed consultation, they will determine and explain your best treatment options.
First, a soft compound will be used to model the mouth. This will provide accurate measurements for your temporary full arch dentures that you will use in the healing, and fusing period.
Under local anesthetic and sedative (if requested), our expert dentists will prepare the jawbone and fit the implants into it. (Tooth extraction will be done if necessary)
Depending on your condition, you might require a Bone Graft/ Sinus Lift.
The fusing and healing period usually takes between 3 and 6 months. Duration varies for each patient. You will receive your temporary full arch dentures to proceed with your normal life till your next visit.
We will keep in touch to observe the healing process. Once it is complete, you can plan your second visit to our clinic.
2nd Visit
Your second visit will be 6 nights and 7 days. You will have 3 appointments at our clinic.
Our Dentist will examine you once more in detail and start prepping your final dental appearance. This includes the molding and attaching of the locator (The locator serves as the connection piece between the implant and the fixed full-arch denture).
Then, the fun part begins, and you can choose your brand-new smile with a new shape and a new color that you have always wished for. You even get to choose the expression of your beautiful smile.
Once you have decided, your personalized full arch denture specifications will be sent to the lab for production.
Finally, once they are back from the lab, your new full arch Dentures will be placed on your implants.
When you leave our clinic, you will have your smile back!
