Snap-in Dentures

Encino Dental Practice is committed to offering our patients advanced dental solutions to restore their comfort, function, and aesthetics. Snap-in dentures are one of our innovative treatments for people who have lost teeth. Designed under the guidance of Dr. Mamaliger's expertise, snap-in dentures are a stable, comfortable, and natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures for patients living in Encino, CA.



This comprehensive guide will explain the advantages of snap-ins, how they are made, how to care for them, and why Encino Dental Practice should be your first choice for dental care.

What are Snap-in Dentures?

Snap-in dentures, also called implant-retained dentures, are removable dentures stabilized with dental implants. Snap-in dentures snap securely onto dental implants and provide a more comfortable and stable fit than traditional dentures, which rest on the gums. This is the perfect solution for patients who prefer removable dentures but want more stability and confidence.

  • How Snap-in Dentures Work:

    Snap-in dentures fit over dental implants surgically placed into the jawbone. The implants are anchors that allow dentures to snap on and off quickly. Two to four implants can support a full arch denture, but this number may vary depending on the individual.

  • Benefits of Snap-in Dentures

    • Stability Enhanced: Snap-in dentures are securely attached to dental implants, which prevents them from moving or slipping during daily activities, such as eating, talking, and sleeping.
    • Natural Appearance: Snap-in dentures are custom-made to match your natural teeth in size, shape, and color. They provide an aesthetically pleasing and seamless result.
    • Better Functionality: Snap-in dentures allow you to eat a variety of foods without worrying about them shifting.
    • Bone Preservation: Dental Implants help stimulate the jawbone and prevent bone loss, often caused by traditional dentures.
    • Removable Convenience: Snap-in dentures can be removed easily for cleaning or maintenance. They offer the best of both.

The Snap-in Denture Procedure

Snap-in dentures are made in a few simple steps. The first step is a consultation, and the last is a set of comfortable dentures that fit well. You can expect the following at Encino Dental Practice:

  • Initial Consultation

    The journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Mamaliger. During this appointment, we will assess your oral health and discuss your treatment goals. It may also include digital imaging or impressions to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.


  • Implant Placement

    Dental implants are the first step to snap-in dentures. To ensure your comfort, this surgical procedure is usually performed under local or sedation anesthesia. Dr. Mamaliger carefully places the titanium implants in the jawbone to provide optimal support for snap-in dentures. After placing the implants, they must wait several months for them to integrate into the bone.


  • Denture Fabrication

    Impressions of your teeth will be taken while your implants heal to create custom-made dentures that perfectly fit over your implants. These dentures snap onto the implants and offer a stable, natural-looking solution.


  • Final Fitting

    Snap-in dentures can be attached once the implants are fully integrated into the jawbone. Dr. Mamaliger ensures that your dentures are fitted securely and comfortably. He will make any adjustments necessary to achieve a perfect fit. The dentures snap onto the implants, allowing you to remove them when needed while still maintaining a stable fit.


  • Follow-up and Adjustments

    We will arrange follow-up appointments to check your progress and make final adjustments. These visits are crucial to ensuring your dentures function optimally, and you are satisfied with the result.

Caring for Your Snap-in Dentures

If you take care of your snap-in dentures properly, they will last longer and perform better. Encino Dental Practice provides you with detailed instructions for maintaining your dentures.



  • Daily Cleaning: Snap-in dentures need to be cleaned regularly, just like natural teeth. This is done to prevent plaque and remove food particles. Dentures should be removed daily and cleaned thoroughly using a denture cleaning brush and a mild cleaner. Make sure you clean your tongue, gums, and implant attachments.
  • Oral Hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for your gums' health and the longevity of your implants. Use a toothbrush to clean around the implant and a water flosser or an interdental brush to clean the space between the implant and the gum line. Regular cleaning helps prevent infection and will ensure your implants stay solid and healthy.
  • Regular Dental Visits: Routine dental examinations are essential for monitoring dentures, implants, and gums. Dr. Mamaliger checks for signs of wear and potential problems during these appointments. He will also perform professional cleanings to maintain your mouth's health.
  • Handling Discomfort: You may initially experience some discomfort as you get used to your new dentures. Pain relievers available over the counter can be used to manage discomfort. Contact our office if you experience discomfort or notice your dentures not fitting correctly.
