Snap-In Implant Dentures In Chicago, IL

The ability to remove the palate in a snap-in denture depends on the situation. Ideally, we would need to spread the dental implants out in order to achieve this. Our All-On-4 procedure guarantees the ability to remove the palate, but this may not always be possible with snap-in dentures.

Removing the palate can have several benefits for patients. It can enhance their ability to taste and increase sensitivity to hot and cold, resulting in a more natural experience. Additionally, for patients with a severe gag reflex, removing the palate can provide relief.

Please note that any significant bleeding will have ceased before you leave the clinic. However, it is normal to experience some slight bleeding (oozing) for 1-3 days following the procedure. Additionally, when your denture(s) are initially inserted, you may notice increased salivation. This may cause the saliva to mix with a small amount of blood, giving the appearance of more bleeding than there actually is. If heavy bleeding persists, please contact our office.

If you are looking for a home remedy to aid in clotting and stop bleeding, using tea bags can be quite effective. Simply take a regular tea bag, dampen it, squeeze out any excess water, and place it on the extraction site(s). The tea bags will assist in clotting. If necessary, you can use multiple tea bags. Remember to replace the tea bags if they become saturated with blood. You can repeat this process as many times as needed.

• Snaps | Periodically you’ll need to replace the snap rings in your implant dentures. These wear and lose retention over time and as you remove your teeth. They’re quick and affordable to have replaced.
• Cleanings | Just like natural teeth, you’ll need periodic cleaning for your implants. Any buildup on them will be removed and your dentures cleaned.
• Periodic re-fittings | Your mouth changes over time, so dentures require re-fitting to ensure optimal performance and prevent unnecessary stress on implants.
• Home maintenance | Only a few minutes a day. Remove dentures 1-2 times daily and brush with a denture brush or soft toothbrush. Also, clean implants with a soft dental brush.
