What Makes a Solution “Fixed”?

While you have many options for replacing your missing teeth, not all are created equal or are a “fixed” solution. Removable dentures are simply a replacement for no teeth. They can provide an added level of aesthetics but biting and chewing power is minimal as their only support is from natural suction or denture pastes. Dentures can alternatively be stabilized with two or more dental implants (implant supported dentures). These dentures can help you regain your ability to function if you have lost most or all your teeth, but you’ll still need to remove them each night for cleaning.

To be considered a truly “fixed” solution, four or more dental implants must be used to permanently support a custom bridge of teeth that only our dentist can remove from your mouth. This provides an over 99% return to normal biting and chewing power with strong, secure teeth that are made to withstand the natural force of your bite. Attached to dental implants inserted around your jawbone, these teeth will never slip or become loose and will never fall out so you can eat, talk, and laugh with confidence every day. We offer this amazing solution—and a new smile in one day—through our All-on-4 full mouth dental implants treatment.
