Restore Confidence In Your Smile With Snap-On Dental Implants

Snap in dentures are an affordable way to replace standard dentures, damaged and missing teeth giving you the ability to confidently smile, bite and chew - contact us for options, prices and pay monthly finance.

Snap-on dental implants, snap-in dentures, implant-retained dentures – no matter what you call them, these treatments all do the same thing – they replace your teeth.

What are snap-on dental implants, and how do they work?

This dental treatment includes securing a denture to the jaw using implants. Crafted from porcelain, metal or acrylic resin typically, this type of denture provides extra stability when compared to its traditional counterparts, which often use a special type of glue or clasp to stay in place. The bonus? As the fake teeth are being attached to the jaw, there is no damage being caused to your existing teeth. This makes the treatment a popular choice for many patients wishing to replace their teeth.

What to expect during the procedure

Prior to your procedure you will attend a consultation with the Yorkshire Dental Suite team. This mandatory appointment includes an oral examination, X-rays, a CT scan and photographs to make sure you are eligible for snap-in dental implants. The consultation additionally checks that you do not have any issues that may hinder the procedure and healing process, for example, gum disease. During this time, you can also ask about your finance options and how you are able to fund the treatment. The main part of the surgery is completed in a single appointment. Let’s do a breakdown of what to expect on the day:

  1. You will first be given sedation, making the procedure pain free.
  2. Any necessary teeth are removed.
  3. An incision is made in the gum and the dental implant post is inserted.
  4. The implant is topped with an abutment and a temporary tooth.

After your surgery, it is time to go home and heal. The recovery period typically lasts 3-4 months, while your jawbone and implant successfully fuse (osseointegration). In the meantime, our team are meticulously crafting your snap-in dental implants. The last part of the treatment includes returning to the clinic and having your final teeth fitted. There is no anaesthetic required and the appointment is relatively quick.

Snap-on dental implants cost UK

The price of snap-in dental implants depends on the number of implants used and the chosen material of your denture. If you wish to have a single tooth replacing, your snap-on dental implant would be £2,800. Comparatively, the price for a single acrylic denture that replaces a full arch of teeth starts at £11,995, going up to £29,995 for our most expensive option, a diamond cut zirconia bridge with individual crowns. If you require any of the additional treatments to make your procedure viable, your overall spending will increase.

Patients can also opt to have a smile makeover, which combines two or more dental treatments to give you your perfect smile. This is a great choice for patients having a partial denture. Here are some of your options:
