COMPARING FIXED TEETH VS. REMOVABLE

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, you have a choice between fixed and removable options. Dentures are a common choice, but they only restore about 20% of natural function and tend to become loose over time. On the other hand, implant-supported dentures, available in New Bedford, MA, offer a functional improvement by anchoring onto two or more dental implants, providing about 60% of dental function. However, they still involve a removable acrylic denture which may wear out over time.

For a more comprehensive solution, full mouth dental implants offer a fixed prosthetic bridge supported by 4-8 dental implants. This approach restores over 98% of natural function, providing teeth that closely mimic the look, feel, and function of real teeth. With this option, you can eat without restrictions, significantly improve your quality of life, and regain confidence in talking, laughing, and smiling. We encourage you to explore all available options and schedule a consultation to receive a personalized evaluation and treatment plan.

Conventional Dentures

Traditional dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They consist of artificial teeth set on an acrylic or metal base that is custom-made to fit over the gums. Traditional dentures are typically held in place by suction against the gums, adhesive creams, or dental implants. These dentures are commonly used when a patient has lost most or all of their natural teeth in one or both dental arches.

Implant Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures, also known as implant-retained dentures or overdentures, are a type of dental prosthesis that combines the stability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures. Unlike traditional dentures that rely solely on the gums for support, implant-supported dentures are anchored in place by dental implants surgically placed into the jawbone.

Full Arch Fixed Teeth

A permanent dental restoration that replaces an entire arch of missing or damaged teeth with a non-removable prosthetic appliance. This restoration typically involves the placement of dental implants, which serve as anchors for the fixed teeth.
