Comparing Fixed Teeth vs. Dentures

Before choosing dental implants, you’ll need to decide whether you want fixed teeth or dentures. Fixed teeth are permanent and provide better stability and bone preservation than dentures. Dentures, however, are removable and more comfortable for some patients.

All-On-4®

This dental implant system is ideal for those who need to replace multiple missing teeth. With All-On-4®, only four dental implants support a full arch of replacement teeth. This option is cost-effective, minimally invasive, and offers a more stable and long-lasting solution compared to traditional dentures.

With All-On-4®, you can enjoy multiple benefits, including:

Faster treatment and recovery time

Improved speech and chewing ability

Enhanced facial aesthetics and self-esteem

Long-lasting, durable results

Acrylic Overdenture - Removable and Fixed

This dental implant option involves attaching a removable or fixed denture to dental implants. An acrylic overdenture is a more affordable and less invasive alternative to traditional fixed bridges or full-mouth restorations.

Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures:

More stable and secure than traditional dentures

Reduced bone loss and gum recession

Improved oral health and hygiene

Increased comfort and function
