Dentures!
“After having a terrible experience at a dental visit as a child, I was
always terrif ied when it came time for a dentist checkup. Many years of
dentistry avoidance brought me to having to have my f inal few teeth
removed and get dentures. Being referred to Dr Sam was the best
thing! He told me I was a good candidate for ‘Snap On’ denture.
While the thought of losing my teeth was horrible, I couldn’t have
asked for better encouragement & supportiveness that I received
from Dr Sam and his team. The end result has been amazing;
I have no fear of having an embarrassing denture mishap, my
dentures stay in place perfectly & I am able to eat anything I
choose. I highly recommend Dr Sam & his team & if you
are considering a ‘Snap On’ denture- rest assured it will be
one of the best decisions you make!”

Traditional Denture = eat what you CAN
Implant Supported Denture= eat what you WANT
Snap On Dentures
lthough traditional dentures are an option for tooth loss, they can provide challenges and are never
as comfortable as our natural teeth. The dental health community has made great advances in patient
care in the last few years and implant supported dentures is one of them. As we lose teeth, we also lose
bone which causes dentures to fit poorly and can cause eating to be uncomfortable. With an implant
supported denture, there are usually 2 to 6 implants surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw bone with a
three to six month healing time. Once the implants have healed, a denture is made to “snap” onto the implants
making the denture very stable and secure. The denture will still come out at night for cleaning and the implants
will be brushed and cared for like teeth. The Snap-On denture is an excellent option for anyone that wants more
confidence and stability in their dentures. Our office uses the latest technology with our in-office 3-D CT scan that
shows the doctors the density and integrity of the bone and is surprisingly affordable. Please call our office to
schedule a time to meet with our doctors to see if you are a candidate for the Snap-On procedure.
