These options have different advantages and drawbacks. Knowing your goals for treatment and what to expect can help you decide which solution is best for you. At You Smile Dental, our implant dentist provides personalized dental implant treatment to restore your smile, health, and quality of life!
Understanding Fixed Teeth Vs. Removable
You have two main options for replacing your missing teeth: fixed and removable. Dentures are the most affordable option but have the greatest number of limitations. These artificial acrylic teeth restore only 20% of original function and over time will need relines or replacement. A stable upgrade, implant supported dentures in Fremont and Santa Clara, CA are secured with two or more dental implants to restore 60% of oral function. However, they are still dentures, with similar limitations and problems over time.
Full mouth dental implants are the most ideal solution and the only permanent option. They are comprised of a fixed prosthetic tooth bridge secured to 4-8 dental implants. With this option, over 98% of dental function is restored with teeth that look and feel natural. You’ll be able to eat more foods, improve your health, and feel confident in yourself and around others. We encourage you to consider all your options, then schedule a consultation to receive an evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
