Snap-In Dentures, or Implant Retained Removable Prosthesis, are a type of removable denture that securely attaches to dental implants, providing more stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures. Snap-In Dentures offer a more natural look and feel than traditional dentures, and restore your chewing abilities in one or both jaws.
This innovative treatment allows patients who either have terminal teeth or have already lost all their teeth to enjoy the benefits of dental implants without the expense of a fixed, full-arch restoration like All-On-X.
One of the big differences between Snap-In Dentures and All-On-X is that Snap-In Dentures are not titanium plated like the All-On-X prosthesis. This is the main reason that Snap-In Dentures cost less than All-On-X.
There are many factors that determine whether you’re a suitable candidate for Snap-In Denture dental implants. At your consultation, we will use state-of-the-art technology to create 3D digital impressions of your current teeth, take 3D CBCT x-rays to determine the extent of any bone loss you might have experienced, and identify any other issues that might be hidden below your gum line.
We also discuss in detail your specific concerns, the symptoms you’re experiencing, and the outcomes you’d like to achieve. All of this detailed consultation and assessment helps us to empower you throughout the treatment planning process and share all the options with you.
At Today's Dentistry, you’ll never be pressured to choose a certain treatment. We always provide all your options and communicate with transparency around what’s involved. Our caring and professional team will work closely with you to ensure a comfortable and successful treatment experience. Don't let the limitations of traditional dentures hold you back – contact us today to schedule a consultation!
Snap-in dentures use dental implants, however they’re not the same as single dental implants. Snap-in dentures, also known as implant retained dentures, are a type of removable denture that attaches directly to multiple dental implants for a more secure fit.
Snap-in dentures look similar to traditional dentures, but they have attachments in the base that connect to dental implants in your mouth so you never have to worry about them falling out or slipping around and pinching you.
It's typically recommended to remove snap-in dentures at night to allow your gums and jawbone to rest. This also provides a chance to clean your dentures.
Snap-in dentures work by attaching to dental implants that are surgically placed into your jawbone. They "snap" onto these implants, providing a secure fit and better functionality than traditional dentures.
Snap-in dentures can last many years with proper care. However, they may need to be replaced or adjusted over time due to normal wear and changes in your mouth.
Snap-in dentures can be removed by applying gentle pressure and unclasping them from the dental implants. Your dentist will provide specific instructions based on your individual case.
Snap-in dentures should be cleaned daily. Remove them and clean with a soft denture brush or a regular soft toothbrush using warm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly before reinserting.
Snap-in dentures provide a more secure fit than traditional dentures, improving functionality and comfort. They can also help prevent bone loss in the jaw. However, they require a surgical procedure and are more costly than traditional dentures.
The benefits of snap-in dentures include better stability, improved comfort, stronger chewing, and preservation of jawbone. The drawbacks can include the need for surgery, the small potential of implant-related complications, and higher cost compared to traditional dentures.

I always loved going to my own dental visits, and one day I honestly just though ‘why don’t I give dental assisting a go’. I applied for a job and got a call back straight away, and have been in the industry ever since!
I studied my Cert 3 in Dental Assisting online alongside working full time in my first dental job. I chose to do it online so I had more time to work as I am more of a hands on learner.
I LOVE smile makeovers. I love seeing the joy, and happiness it brings patients and the amount of confidence they gain by having their dream smile.
I love feeling like I am making some sort of impact on people’s lives. Whether it is helping them with their smile makeover, holding their hand during a procedure or just being an ear to talk to and a shoulder to cry on.
The team, they are all so wonderful and both Darryl and David are so great to work for. But also what our core value is – which is patient care. I think we are a really great team at making sure our patients come first and their experience with us is a positive one each and every time.
Brisbane born and bred, Sarah’s passion for dentistry began during her orthodontic treatment in her teens. After graduating from highschool, Sarah began working as a dental nurse and decided her true calling was as a dental hygienist. She graduated from the University of Queensland in 2006 and has worked in both the private and public sector since then.
Sarah’s focus is on prevention and education. Her goal is to empower her patients so that they can achieve and maintain the best possible oral health for life.
In her free time Sarah can be found spending time with her two sons, hiking, attending a pilates class or exploring Brisbane and the surrounds looking for new restaurants to eat at or adventures to have.
I have been a proud part of the Today's Dentistry team for 20 years now.
My journey to get here though was anything but straight forward and I can probably thank my own childhood family dental visits in Newcastle NSW for my interest in this area of care. It too was a very special practice that took the time with their patients young and old and truly cared about them.
Having my own great experiences as a patient I was thrilled for them to accept me for my Year 10 work experience as a dental assistant and fell comfortably into the role. Due to life as it was back then and lack of public transport my career took me in a whole different direction and I had many years at the Aluminium Smelter in Kurri Kurri.
Once my children were at school I applied for a position as a receptionist at the local Dental Practice only to be told it was actually for an assistant and was I still interested? Silly question! Hands on training the old school way which put me in great position for further learning when our family moved to WA for a couple of years and then finally finding my way to QLD and Darrly and David.
Dentistry to me is a package of many very important parts, the precision and artistry of the actual treatment, the person behind the treatment and understanding of not only their dental needs but emotional drivers and the communication and care to put this all together. Although I now find myself not chairside but doing the behind the scenes administration I still get to talk with our patients and be confident that they are in good hands with my wonderful team.
