What are snap-in dentures?
Snap-in dentures (or implant dentures) are removable arches that securely attach to dental implants affixed in your mouth. Depending on your dental needs, your dentist may recommend a single arch to replace a row of teeth, or 2 arches to restore both rows of your smile.

There are also single tooth implants and implant-bridges. Ask your dentist which is best for you and your smile.
