Precision Attachment (Snap-On) Dentures
Precision attachment dentures are partial dentures that use special retentive mechanisms to offer superior aesthetics, functionality, and comfort. These dentures are customized to fit the patient's mouth structure and needs. Instead of traditional clasps, precision attachments use more discreet and aesthetically pleasing mechanisms to secure the dentures in place.
