Abstract: Example dental assemblies and methods involve snap-fitting a denture or other dental prosthesis to a patient's jaw. In some examples, an implant is anchored to the jaw, an abutment is screwed to the implant, and a head of the abutment snaps directly into a pocket created in the dental prosthesis. In some examples, a polymeric cap couples the abutment's head to the pocket. Based on coordinate data from a CT or intraoral scanner, the pocket can be created by CNC milling or 3D printing. The method eliminates the need for bonding a metal housing or casing to the dental prosthesis.
