Your two arches do not always call for the same answer. If you live in Burrows Central, our McPhillips Street clinic can look at each one and explain what a snap-in denture might involve.
Let's find a time
An arch is the whole upper or whole lower row of teeth, and each one sits on its own bone with its own anatomy. With conventional dentures, movement can be more noticeable in the lower arch, though your experience may differ. What you feel day to day is a good place to begin.
The number of implants is not a fixed figure. It depends on which arch is being treated, your bone and anatomy, the denture design and what you hope to achieve. Your upper and lower teeth also have to work together, so we consider how they meet even if only one of them is troubling you.
Explore snap-in dentures
Bone and gum conditions are reviewed for the jaw that concerns you and how it relates to the other.
Whatever is planned on one side of your mouth has to meet what lies opposite it.
How many implants you may need is worked out through imaging and restorative planning.
We look at what you want from each arch and what your mouth can support. These are the kinds of points that tend to influence the recommendation.
Start with the denture that moves, rubs or lifts, because your day-to-day experience guides the conversation.
Even a jaw you are happy with deserves a look, as it influences how pressure and chewing are shared.
We can only advise on which arch or arches may suit a snap-in denture after examining you, and in some cases the answer may be a different option.
Whichever jaw is involved, implants heal before the denture connects. Your own timeline is laid out in your plan.
Request your visitWe review your health history, gums, bone and bite, and look closely at any upper or lower denture you wear now.
Three-dimensional imaging supports decisions on implant locations, working alongside the goals for your finished denture.
Implants are placed and allowed to integrate. Records then establish your bite, your tooth position and how the denture relates to the healed implants.
Its retention is tuned, pressure spots are checked, and you practise removal under guidance so you can do it properly on your own.
You may know immediately, or you may just feel that something is off. Both are fine. Any detail on when each denture moves helps us focus the examination.
An estimate for one arch will not necessarily reflect two, so ask about costs once a plan is clear and bring any insurance or CDCP information.

Coming in unsure which arch to treat, or whether to treat either, is perfectly reasonable. Part of the point of an assessment is to help you think it through.
You can ask what treating one jaw would mean, and what treating both would involve.
Ask to have the relevant areas pointed out if a visual explanation would help you.
Treatment is a significant decision, and a question can always come up later at home.
Once you are wearing it
Attachments and tissues change over time, and so can how your arches meet. Daily cleaning is shown to you for your particular appliance, and you will be told whether to leave it out overnight.
Your bite is included in regular examinations, and any change is worth mentioning sooner.
These small components wear over time and are designed to be maintained or replaced.
Report new soreness or movement in your opposite denture too, as it can matter as well.
Unsure which denture is causing a new problem? Call us and describe it.

Not automatically. Lower dentures can feel less stable, but your recommendation depends on your own anatomy, bite, bone and priorities, and the assessment looks at those points directly.
Do not assume they will. The count is determined by the specific arch, its bone and anatomy, the denture design and your goals, using imaging and restorative planning to decide.
It may stay as it is, or it may need attention so that the two work well together. We would review how your teeth meet before advising on it.
Sometimes. Each denture is judged separately on fit, bite, strength and tooth position, so one could potentially be suitable for adapting while the other may need replacing.
