Comparing Fixed Teeth Vs. Removable

When you boil it down, you have two options for replacing your teeth: fixed-in-place or removable. Dentures are a common removable solution, which is the lesser tier of tooth replacement. These artificial teeth are set on an acrylic base that sits over your gums. Dentures provide 20% of natural function and require refitting as your jaw changes shape. The next tier is a functional upgrade, implant supported dentures in Pleasanton, CA are stabilized by two or more dental implants to restore 60% of natural function. Implant supported dentures consist of a removable acrylic denture that may crack or fracture over time. The top solution for full mouth replacement teeth is full mouth dental implants. This fixed solution is made of a prosthetic bridge of teeth permanently supported by 4-8 dental implants. This solution restores over 98% of natural function. The final restorations are precision-crafted to look, feel, and function the way teeth naturally do. Dental implants eliminate any dietary limitations and truly transform the patient! As you continue your dental rehabilitation journey, we encourage you to explore all available options, then schedule a consultation to receive a custom evaluation.
