Snap-in Dentures in Westchester, NY Removable Stability You Can Trust
Want the security of implant-supported dentures with the convenience of being able to remove them for cleaning? Snap-in dentures give you the best of both worlds. At Westchester Dental Implant Institute, Dr. Krinick anchors your dentures to dental implants so they stay locked in place all day then easily snap out at night for hassle free cleaning. No slipping. No adhesives. No compromise.
What Are Snap-in Dentures?
Snap-in dentures (also called overdentures) are removable dentures that attach securely to dental implants using special locator attachments. The implants are placed in your jawbone, and your denture "snaps" onto them with a satisfying click. Throughout the day, your dentures stay firmly in place. At night, simply unsnap them for easy cleaning and maintenance. It's implant-level stability with the convenience of a removable appliance.
Snap-On Security
Locator attachments click your dentures firmly onto implants—no movement, no slipping, no worry.
Easy Cleaning
Remove your dentures nightly to clean both the appliance and your implant sites thoroughly.
Cost-Effective Option
Fewer implants required than fixed solutions, making snap-in dentures a more affordable entry to implant stability.
Convertible
Already have traditional dentures? They may be convertible to snap onto new implants.
Why Choose Snap-in Dentures?
Snap-in dentures sit in the sweet spot between traditional dentures and fixed implant solutions. They're ideal for patients who want real stability but prefer the ability to remove their teeth for cleaning—or who want implant benefits at a more accessible price point.
Stability Without Permanence – Your dentures lock securely in place during the day but can be removed whenever you want. You're in control.
Fewer Implants, Lower Cost – Snap-in dentures typically require just 2-4 implants per arch, making them more affordable than fixed All-on-6 or All-on-8 solutions.

How Snap-in Dentures Work
Consultation & Planning
Dr. Krinick evaluates your oral health and jawbone density with 3D imaging. He'll determine how many implants you need (typically 2-4 per arch) and whether your existing dentures can be converted.
Implant Placement
Implants are surgically placed in your jawbone during an outpatient procedure. The number and position depend on your specific anatomy and needs.
Healing Period
Your implants integrate with your jawbone over 3-6 months. During this time, you can often wear your existing dentures with temporary modifications.
Snap-in Attachment
Once healed, locator attachments are placed on your implants and your denture is fitted with corresponding snaps. Click them together and enjoy secure, stable teeth.
Find your fit
Each solution offers different advantages based on your needs.

"I wasn't ready for permanent implants—the idea of not being able to take my teeth out felt strange to me. Dr. Krinick suggested snap-in dentures and it was the perfect solution. They click in so securely I forget they're not fixed, but I can still take them out to clean at night. No more denture adhesive, no more slipping. I finally feel confident again."

Snap-in Dentures: Your Questions Answered
Everything you need to know about removable implant-supported dentures.
Most patients need 2-4 implants per arch for snap-in dentures. The lower jaw typically requires at least 2 implants, while the upper jaw often benefits from 4 due to softer bone density. Dr. Krinick will recommend the optimal number based on your specific anatomy.
In many cases, yes. If your existing dentures are in good condition and fit well, they can often be retrofitted with locator attachments to snap onto new implants. This can save time and money compared to fabricating entirely new dentures.
Absolutely. When properly attached, snap-in dentures feel very secure—patients often forget they're removable. You can eat, talk, and laugh without worrying about slipping or movement. They only release when you intentionally unsnap them.
Remove your dentures nightly and brush them with a denture brush and non-abrasive cleaner. Clean around your implant attachments with a soft toothbrush. Soak your dentures overnight as recommended. Dr. Krinick will provide detailed care instructions.
"Implant-supported dentures" is an umbrella term that includes both snap-in (removable) and fixed options. Snap-in dentures specifically refer to the removable type that clicks onto implants and can be taken out for cleaning. Fixed implant dentures (like All-on-6) are permanently attached.
