Snap-In Dentures
Secure, Comfortable Smiles with Snap-in Dentures in Fort Myers
Lee Dental Care in Fort Myers, FL offers a modern, stable solution to traditional dentures - implant-supported dentures, also known as snap-in dentures or overdentures. This advanced treatment combines the security of dental implants with the convenience of removable dentures, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile without hesitation.
Using precision technology and custom planning, our dentists design natural-looking, secure-fitting dentures that snap into place. You can say goodbye to slipping, adhesives, and discomfort.
What Are Snap-In Dentures?
Snap-in dentures are anchored by two to eight dental implants, depending on your individual needs. These implants hold your denture firmly in place for greater comfort and function. No more denture glue, no more slipping! If you need upper, lower, or both arches replaced, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
These dentures provide exceptional stability while still being removable for easy cleaning. They're crafted from premium materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth, offering a secure and attractive alternative to traditional dentures.

What to Expect from Snap-In Denture Treatment
Consultation & Evaluation
We begin with a thorough assessment using advanced digital imaging to evaluate your bone structure and ensure implant-supported dentures are right for you.
Custom Treatment Plan
Your treatment is mapped out in detail, including surgical guides and temporary prosthetics, to ensure precision and comfort on the day of your procedure.
Implant Placement
On the day of surgery, your implants will be placed under local anesthesia and mild sedation if needed. You’ll leave the office with a temporary denture in place.
Healing Phase
The implants integrate with your jawbone over a few months, forming a secure foundation for your permanent denture.
Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, we fit your final snap-in denture which will be custom-made for durability, comfort, and a beautiful, natural looking smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for snap-in dentures?
If you’re missing teeth and have adequate bone density, you may be an ideal candidate. Our dentist will assess your oral health to determine the best solution. If your bone density is not adequate to support a snap-in denture, all-on-4 could be a viable option for you. Schedule your consultation at our Fort Myers office and take the first step to transforming your smile!
How long does treatment take?
From consultation to final restoration, treatment typically spans several months. Implants are placed in one visit, followed by a healing phase before your permanent denture is fitted. All phases of treatment are completed in our modern, comfortable Fort Myers office.
How many implants will I need?
It depends on your anatomy and goals. Most lower dentures need 2 to 4 implants, while upper dentures may require 4 to 6 for optimal support. Call today and schedule your consultation to learn more.
Will insurance help with the cost?
Coverage varies by provider, but many plans cover a portion of treatment if deemed medically necessary. Our team will help you maximize benefits and reduce out-of-pocket costs. We also offer flexible financing options to help make treatment more affordable.
Are implant-supported dentures comfortable?
Yes! Patients often find them far more stable and comfortable than traditional dentures. They don’t shift or rub and allow you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
How do I care for my snap-in dentures?
Remove and clean them daily, and maintain regular dental check-ups to ensure implant health. With proper care, your denture and implants can last many years.
How long do they last?
The implants themselves can last a lifetime. The denture may need occasional adjustments or replacement after 10 or 15 years due to normal wear. Your Fort Myers dental team is here to help you ensure you get the most out of your investment in your smile and comfort.
