Most of the teeth I\u2019ve left are rotten &amp; I know they\u2019ll have to come out. Then I\u2019ll get dentures, I guess. Problem is, I\u2019ve got a bad gag reflex. I mean, bad\u2013like I even gag from my toothbrush (which is how my teeth got this way in the first place, I suppose). Well, my buddy told me about his snap-on dentures and said they might be able to do something like this for me. Is this true? Can you guys make me something that I could wear without gagging all day?\u00a0 Thanks, Geoff<\/p>\n<p>Geoff,<\/p>\n<p>Many people struggle with an active gag reflex. We understand that a gag reflex makes dental care challenging, especially when considering complete dentures. Snap-on dentures can help.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Snap-on Dentures?<\/h2>\n<p>Snap-on dentures attach to mini-implants anchored in the jawbone. The denture base has attachments that snap onto dental implants. Conventional dentures may move, float, and cause difficulties depending on your jawbone level. Snap-on dentures <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/snap-on-dentures.html\">stay in place<\/a>, making it much easier to eat and talk without using messy adhesives.<\/p>\n<h2>Reducing Your Gag Reflex with Dentures<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_2004\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2004\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2004\" src=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/snap-on-dentures-metairie-la-delaune.jpg\" alt=\"Snap-on denture hovering above the lower gums\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2004\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Snap-on denture<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A dentist can fabricate a maxillary (upper) denture for you that does not cover your palate. While conventional dentures must cover the entire roof of your mouth to create suction and stay in place, a snap-on denture exposes your palate. The implant attachments create good retention. Your dentist can design dentures to avoid triggering your gag reflex.<\/p>\n<p>Schedule an appointment for a comprehensive examination. A dentist will answer your questions about how a snap-on denture can improve function and comfort.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\">Metairie, Louisiana dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune sponsors this post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dental anxiety has kept me away from the dentist for at least 15 years.
