Is It Possible to Get Emergency Snap-On Dentures?

At Smyrna Dental Studio, we specialize in same-day and emergency dental solutions, including Snap-On dentures. In this guide, we’ll explore how quickly you can receive Snap-On dentures, the process involved, and the best steps to take if you need immediate tooth replacement.

What Are Snap-On Dentures?

Snap-On dentures are a modern alternative to traditional removable dentures. They are secured onto dental implants rather than relying on adhesives, offering a more stable and comfortable fit. Benefits include:

• Increased stability – No slipping or movement while eating or speaking.

• Improved comfort – Less irritation compared to conventional dentures.

• Better chewing efficiency – Allows you to enjoy a wider range of foods.

• Long-term durability – Implants help maintain jawbone health.

Can You Get Emergency Snap-On Dentures?

While Snap-On dentures typically require a multi-step process, there are situations where a temporary solution can be provided in an emergency setting. Depending on your case, we may be able to offer same-day implant placement with temporary dentures, followed by the final Snap-On dentures after proper healing.

Here’s how an emergency Snap-On denture procedure may work:

1. Immediate Consultation and X-Rays

   • During your emergency visit, our dentists will perform a comprehensive examination, including digital X-rays or 3D scans, to determine if you are a candidate for immediate implants.

2. Same-Day Implant Placement (If Eligible)

   • In some cases, mini implants or traditional implants may be placed on the same day, depending on your bone density and oral health.

   • If same-day placement isn’t possible, alternative temporary solutions (such as immediate dentures) may be provided.

3. Temporary Dentures Until Healing Is Complete

   • Temporary removable dentures or an immediate denture option may be fitted while your implants heal.

   • Healing typically takes 3-6 months before attaching the permanent Snap-On dentures.

4. Final Snap-On Dentures Placement

   • Once your implants have fused with the bone (osseointegration), we will attach the final Snap-On dentures for a secure and natural feel.

Who Is a Candidate for Emergency Snap-On Dentures?

Not everyone is eligible for immediate Snap-On dentures. Candidates should have:

• Sufficient jawbone density to support implant placement.

• No severe gum infections that may interfere with healing.

• Good overall oral health or a willingness to undergo necessary treatments (such as extractions or bone grafting if required).

• A commitment to follow post-procedure care to ensure successful healing.

Alternative Emergency Solutions While Waiting for Snap-On Dentures

If same-day Snap-On dentures are not an option, don’t worry! We offer alternative emergency solutions to restore your smile while preparing for a more permanent solution:

1. Immediate Dentures

• If extractions are necessary, we can provide immediate dentures on the same day.

• These dentures allow you to maintain functionality and appearance while your gums heal.

2. Temporary Partial Dentures (Flippers)

• A removable, lightweight option that replaces missing teeth while awaiting implant placement.

3. Mini Dental Implants with Temporary Snap-On Dentures

• In some cases, mini implants can be placed with temporary Snap-On dentures.

• This is a quicker solution compared to traditional implants but depends on your oral health.

How to Care for Emergency Snap-On Dentures

Whether you receive immediate dentures or temporary Snap-On dentures, proper care is essential to ensure comfort and longevity. Follow these tips:

• Follow all post-surgical instructions given by your dentist.

• Stick to a soft diet for the first few days after implant placement.

• Clean your dentures daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner.

• Avoid smoking and alcohol, as they can slow healing.

• Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor healing and prepare for your final Snap-On dentures.
