Snap-in Dentures Or Snap-On Dentures: Are They The Same?

by Legacy DentalMay 10, 2022
You may have heard the term snap-in dentures or snap-on dentures in connection with tooth replacement strategies. Basically, snap-on dentures are traditional dentures which are capable of snapping onto dental implants. That means they're removable, because they are designed so as to be physically attachable to dental implants. They have the same shape as a conventional denture, with the major exception being their ability to snap on to an implant. Snap-ons should not be left in place all night long, and they should be removed for cleaning each day as well.

What Are The Best Options To Replace Missing Teeth?

by Legacy DentalMay 10, 2022
There are many reasons why you may have missing teeth in your mouth. You may have experienced tooth decay or gum disease in the past, and this weakened the oral structure to the point where you started losing teeth. You may also have suffered some kind of traumatic injury to the mouth or you may have inherited a genetic condition which contributed to tooth loss. Whatever the reason for your missing teeth, you'll probably want to replace them as soon as possible.

Implants: All On 4 vs All On 6

by Legacy DentalMay 10, 2022
If you have some missing teeth in your mouth and you've been researching a replacement strategy, you may already have come across the terms all-on-4 and all-on-6. The first difference these two techniques involves the actual implant process. All-on-4 requires just four implants to be installed in your upper or lower jaw bone, while all-on-6 requires six implants. Six full implants are needed to support a hybrid denture, and that is sometimes necessary when there is inadequate jawbone mass to support all-on-4 implants. Dental implants are probably the best way to replace any missing teeth, and that's why we encourage them at our Legacy Dental clinic in Salt Lake City.

Implant-Supported Dentures vs. Traditional Dentures: Which One's better?

by Legacy DentalMay 10, 2022
If you were to ask someone who had experienced both traditional dentures and implant-supported dentures, you would likely get a very definitive comparison. Let's consider the cost of both procedures. At Legacy Dental of Salt Lake City, Utah, you would find the same price differential between the two as at any other locale around the country. Traditional dentures might cost somewhere between $500 and $1,000, whereas implant-supported dentures would be more likely to cost between $1,500 and $4,000. A big part of that cost is centered around the implants themselves, and the surgical procedure necessary to install them.
