It can be easily removes by hydraulics in the dental office.Personally, I prefer the snap in denture thart is far easier to clean but the same company is now making a fixed snap.Good news for all on four or six denture patients.Is all on four a good idea?

You can easily clean this with either superfloss or a waterpik, go to your routine visits to get this checked and have x-rays just to make sure everything is fine.
We recommend all of our implant Denture Patients return to the office at least once a year to have the restorations removed,polished and the implants and gum examined. For daily hygiene we recommend using a waterpik twice a day. the waterpik should be half water half hydrogen peroxide and one drop of dish washing soap. Our experience is this keeps the restorations very clean.
It is very important that the restoration is designed so it can be cleaned properly. It most likely will have a convex undersurface. Best methods to clean will be1. Superfloss2. Waterpick3. Electric toothbrushI would arrange a maintenance schedule with your dentist so that the restoration has longevityWishing you all the best
We recommend that our patients use WaterPik as well as different types of flossing materials that could be inserted underneath the prosthesis. Although there are other hygiene aids that can be used, keep in mind that your restorative dentist can remove the prosthesis and have it cleaned professionally in his or her office.
