If you are considering snap-on dentures in Royal Palm Beach, you’re likely also wondering whether you’ll leave your implant placement appointment with your new teeth in place. Answer? Yes! (Sort of.)
Many patients receive temporary teeth the same day their dental implants are placed. However, the type and timing depend on your specific treatment plan. Unfortunately, not every patient is a candidate for immediate placement, as factors such as jawbone and overall health determine suitability for same-day tooth replacement.
Understanding Immediate Teeth Placement
In many cases, a temporary denture is attached to your implants right after surgery, providing biting and chewing functionality and aesthetic appeal while your implants heal and bond securely with the jawbone. This healing period, called osseointegration, can take several months. Once healing is complete, a stronger, custom-fitted snap-on denture will be fabricated and attached for long-term use.
Snap-on dentures are designed to provide stability, comfort, and function while looking natural. If you’re ready to explore this option, schedule a consultation with your dentist to learn whether immediate teeth placement is right for you.
