Your restoration will still be supported by dental implants, and you\u2019ll be able to enjoy superior power and durability while you wear them. But you\u2019ll <em>also <\/em>be able to take them out for routine cleanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To support this design, snap-on dentures come with an acrylic plate at the base. If you need an upper denture, this plate will partially cover the roof of your mouth, which can affect the way food tastes or have an impact on the way you speak. Generally, though, snap-on dentures are less expensive than all-on-4 implants, and many patients enjoy the convenience of being able to remove them whenever necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All-On-4 Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All-on-4 implants also combine a denture and dental implants. However, this restoration is meant to stay fixed in place, and where snap-on dentures usually require six implants, all-on-4s only need \u2013 well, four. This makes them ideal for patients who have experienced jawbone loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you won\u2019t be removing them, all-on-4 implants don\u2019t have the same acrylic base that snap-on dentures do. Your sense of taste and ability to communicate clearly will be unaffected. You\u2019ll also be able to brush and floss them like you would natural teeth. Just remember that these conveniences come with a slightly higher price tag!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing the Right Restoration for You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the restoration that\u2019s right for you is a very personal process. There\u2019s no right or wrong answer; it will simply depend on your preferences and your budget. Fortunately, your dentist is ready and able to help guide your decision! During your consultation, don\u2019t hesitate to voice any questions or concerns about your replacement teeth. They\u2019ll take every detail into consideration and make sure you\u2019re happy with your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quietcornerdental.com\/walter-mcginn-dmd.html\">Dr. Walter McGinn<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quietcornerdental.com\/carolyn-mcginn-dmd.html\">Dr. Carolyn McGinn<\/a> are your compassionate and friendly dental care team in Putnam.
