I have to replace the cushion snap in my denture 3 x yr or the denture doesn't stay snapped in. Any suggestions?

Question

I want to be able to buy the plastic snaps and insert myself avoiding the dental office expenses as I am living on SS income only. I thought once I got the snap in denture that was it....I didn't realize I had to go repeatedly back to have the snaps replaced. This is definitely a CON to this snap in denture. I know it must be a pretty easy procedure and that you may have to have certain tool. joan

Thank you for posting your question.  I understand that you are concerned about the ongoing expenses involved in maintaining your Snap in denture.  There is no way around having your dentist change them periodically. I can only suggest to have a conversation with your dentist and let him know your concern.  Maybe he can work out something with you on yearly basis rather then a per visit basis that could save you some money.

convert your dentures to snap in dentures, with narrow implants, and a very affordable budget, you will change that, even forget about the roof of the palate, and also get rid of messy glues, you will feel more confident, and you will enjoy food again. snap in dentures, are a great solution.
