Fixed Dentures

About Fixed Dentures

tissue. The fixed denture sits right over the top of your natural gums and is more securely in place than conventional dentures. Fixed dentures are more secure because they use dental implant technology to attach teeth to your jaw or gumline.

Titanium mounts or implants are inserted into the jaw bone in the areas that will provide optimal support depending on if a patient needs a fixed partial denture or fixed full mouth denture.

What are the Benefits of Fixed Dentures?

Stability and Functionality: The ability to talk, chew, and bite with full functionality, without the worry of teeth shifting or coming out.
Improved Aesthetics: Fixed dentures/Implant Bridges provide a more natural appearance since they are customized to match the color and shape of your remaining teeth.
They don’t stain as easily as removable acrylic dentures.
Less bone shrinkage: They also prevent the sunken facial appearance often associated with removable dentures.
Enhanced Comfort: Because they don’t rely on resting on the gums, fixed dentures are more comfortable than removable ones.
No more adhesive goo!: Since they’re screwed in place, you no longer need adhesives to help hold them in.
No more sore spots: They eliminate the irritation of sore spots that can occur with traditional dentures. This option allows the patient to enjoy a full set of teeth more naturally, without self-consciousness or anxiety.
They are screwed in, and don’t come out.
They don’t break or lose teeth easily like conventional dentures do.
Longevity: Fixed dentures are designed to be a long-term solution. With proper care, they can last a lifetime, whereas removable dentures require more frequent replacements or adjustments.

What are the Disadvantages of Fixed Dentures?

Higher cost
Surgery needed to place the implants that hold them in

What are the Benefits of Permanent (Removable) Dentures?

They cost less
They don’t require surgery

What are the Disadvantages of Permanent (Removable) Dentures?

Stability Issues: One of the most significant drawbacks of removable dentures is their lack of stability. They can slip or come loose while eating or speaking, causing discomfort and embarrassment.
Gum and Bone Resorption: Over time, removable dentures can accelerate the resorption of gum tissue and underlying bone, which can alter the facial structure and require adjustments or replacements.
Decreased Chewing Efficiency: Because they are not as stable as fixed dentures, removable dentures can hinder your ability to chew food properly, potentially leading to dietary restrictions and digestive issues.
Pain and Discomfort: Because they rest and rub on the gums, removable dentures tend to be much less comfortable than fixed dentures.
The need to use adhesives: Because they don’t adhere well to the gums, (especially for people with dry mouth problems), they’re practically impossible to wear without adhesive.
Sore spots are a common occurrence. This requires either suffering through it, going without them for a period of time now and then, or more frequent visits to the dentist for denture adjustments.
Less ideal fit over time: Because the bone continues to resorb after teeth are lost, over time, dentures feel loose and don’t fit as well. This requires more dental visits and occasional relines.
They must be removed to clean them. (For most people, this is considered a negative.)
Food often gets trapped under them. This is uncomfortable and a nuisance to remove them after eating to dislodge the trapped food particles and rinse them off before being able to wear them comfortably again.
They don’t last as long, because they’re not as durable, and the material wears down over time.
They stain more easily than fixed dentures and fixed implant bridges, because of the material they’re made from.
