  1. FIXED VS. REMOVABLE: CHOOSING THE BEST IMPLANT DENTURE OPTION When restoring missing teeth, implant dentures are an excellent long-term, natural- looking solution. One of the biggest decisions a patient faces is whether to have fixed or implant-supported dentures in Dallas. Knowing the differences will help you choose what's best for your oral health and comfort. What Are Fixed Implant Dentures? Implant dentures remain attached to dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone. They are permanent, so they cannot be removed by the patient, and they function as natural teeth do. For those looking for a solution that stays in one place and not a traditional denture, fixed dentures are a popular choice. For many people, fixed dentures will be much easier to adapt to since they feel more like your real teeth. Fixed implant dentures also require a higher number of implants and can often be higher in cost because of associated surgical procedures. Moreover, fixed dentures need professional cleanings, as you are unable to remove and clean them at home.

  2. Understanding Removable Implant Denture Removable implant dentures (overdentures) are unique because they snap onto implants and can be removed by the patient for everyday cleaning purposes. A removable denture provides more options and is generally a more affordable alternative to fixed implant dentures that will better suit people who don’t have enough bone to hold multiple implants or people who just want the procedure to be less invasive. Removable dentures can also be easier to clean and maintain. Removable dentures might feel less stable at first than fixed dentures and may have an adjustment period for some patients. Some patients may also find daily removal of their denture cumbersome or may be concerned about it working loose over time. When deciding on an implant denture, it's vital to look beyond what offers better function and think about how it can enhance your daily. The decision that is right for you regarding either fixed or removable implant dentures depends on several factors, which include your oral health, bone density, lifestyle, and finances. Fixed dentures are ideal for people who are seeking something permanent that feels natural, whereas removable dentures are suitable for someone whose priorities are flexibility and budget. 214.361.0883 Sealprosthodontics.com
