• Precision Anchored Prosthesis What is (snap-on dentures)?

 It is a type of dental prosthesis applied in cases where there are many missing teeth and treatment cannot be done with fixed prostheses. It is also known as 'snap dentures' due to its hidden retainers that fit into the slots prepared on the teeth.

•  How many days does the construction phase take, how many times do I need to come?
  • strong>

  Precision attached (snap dentures) prosthesis stages are the same as the partial stages. Precision bonded prostheses are prepared with measurements and various rehearsals in an average of 5 sessions. An average of 2 weeks is sufficient for 5 sessions.

  • Are snap-on dentures easy to use?

  In snap-on dentures, sensitive parts fit into the slots prepared on the teeth. available. While they are very tight when first put on and taken off, they become more comfortable over time. It should be inserted and removed carefully.

  • Will I get used to using snap-on dentures?

  This type of dentures are placed under the tongue in the lower jaw, as in partial dentures. It has metal parts in the upper jaw that pass through the palate. Having these parts in the prosthesis makes it difficult to get used to it at first. However, after a certain period of time, most patients can use these dentures comfortably as if they were their own teeth.

  • How to clean the sensitive attachment?

  Cleaning of precision-attached dentures is the same as full dentures.

  • Can I eat comfortably with snap-on dentures?

  Precision-attached dentures are made of both soft tissue and Since it is made with support from existing teeth, there is no problem with its retention. Cutting, biting and grinding functions can be performed comfortably.

  • Do snap-on dentures move while eating?

  Precision-attached dentures can be inserted into the slots. The fitting parts prevent the prosthesis from being dislodged, so they do not move while eating. Over time, loosening may occur in the muscles of sensitive connections, which In this case, the tires can be easily replaced.

  • Will I be aesthetically satisfied with snap-on dentures?

  The parts where precision-attached dentures receive support from the teeth are the parts of the denture. Since they are inside, they are much more aesthetic than hooked dentures.

  • What should I pay attention to when using snap-on dentures?

  When using full dentures. In addition to the things that need to be taken into consideration, it is important not to damage the sensitive connection parts when installing and removing them. Installation and removal should be done slowly and carefully. After making sure that the prosthesis fits properly, the jaw should be closed, and the prosthesis should not be placed by closing the jaw, otherwise damage may occur to the sensitive connection parts.

  • Is it possible to repair snap-on dentures when they break or teeth fall out? strong>

  As with partial dental prostheses, the base part and teeth can be easily repaired in precision-connected prosthesis. If the rubbers inside the sensitive connections become loose, they can be replaced, but if the sensitive connection parts break, it is difficult to repair.

  • How long does the repair process of snap-on dentures take?

  As with partial dentures, it is generally possible to repair dentures with precision attachments in 1 or 2 days, although it varies depending on the shape and size of the fracture.

  • Is it possible to use snap-on dentures in diabetic patients?

  Just like partial dentures, precision-connected dentures can be applied to almost any patient, and can also be easily applied to diabetics. It may take a long time for the cuts and wounds that may occur in the mouth to heal after the application, and since there may be a dry mouth problem, the use of special gels and artificial saliva may be necessary.

  • Is it possible to use snap-on dentures in patients with osteoporosis?

  The volume of bone tissue is not very important in precision-connected prosthesis. Since it is a prosthesis made with support from existing teeth, the number, strength and size of the existing teeth are important.

  • Used in allergic patients. Is it possible to have snap-on dentures?

  First of all, an allergy test is performed and it is determined what you are allergic to. Metal and acrylic materials are used in precision attachment dentures. If there is a metal allergy, it can be determined which metal it is against and a prosthesis can be applied using another metal. However, it is not possible to use precision attached dentures in the presence of allergy to acrylic, in which case implant-supported dentures can be used.

  • What is the lifespan of snap-on dentures?

  Precision-attached prostheses serve for many years when good care and hygiene are provided. Depending on use, rubber and other parts of sensitive connections may become loose or break. If the supported teeth are lost, the prosthesis must be repeated.

  • Is there any procedure performed on the existing teeth when making a precision-connected prosthesis?

  Precision-attached prosthesis. Since connected dentures have to fit into the slots prepared on the teeth, existing teeth must be covered.

  • What are the differences between partial dentures and precision-connected dentures?

  Partial dentures have unaesthetic hooks, precision attachment dentures do not have hooks. For partial dentures, it may not be necessary to perform any operations on existing teeth, but for precision attachment dentures, it is mandatory to perform operations on existing teeth. For precision attachment dentures, there must be at least 4-6 teeth in the jaw, there is no restriction for partial dentures. The cost of the precision attachment prosthesis is slightly higher than the cost of the partial prosthesis.
  
   
  If a fixed prosthesis cannot be made using the existing teeth in case there are many missing teeth, either a removable prosthesis (partial prosthesis and precision attachment prosthesis). or a dental implant can be placed in the jawbone for a fixed dental prosthesis. When removable dentures are inserted and removed, they cause trauma to the teeth and may cause melting in the jaw bone. For this reason, in cases where many teeth are missing, a fixed prosthesis by placing dental implants into the jawbone is the healthiest treatment option.
