Are you missing some teeth and wondering what your best options for replacement teeth are besides dentures? At Mile High Dental & Implant Centers, you have plenty of choices, like fixed implant bridges or snap on dentures. Both work well with your existing teeth and gums while providing a healthy alternative to dentures.
We’ll start by talking about Fixed Implant Bridges. These bridges can replace anywhere from a few missing teeth to a full arch of missing teeth. It is a permanent option, as the replacement teeth are fixed to the jawbone with implants acting as tooth roots. They are like natural teeth in that they are very strong and will need to be brushed and flossed. Depending on how many teeth are missing, the bridge will need to be anchored in strategic places so that it has a stronghold. This option is great for those who want a permanent option and don’t mind the upkeep.
Next, we will discuss Implant-Supported Dentures, also known as overdentures. These are a full replacement denture that acts like a traditional denture in that the gums provide support. However, these dentures differ in that they are stabilized by dental implants. This allows for the denture to “snap” into the implants for stability while retaining its removability. Snap-on dentures are great for someone who likes the ability to remove their dentures. Plus, there is no need to floss!
Either option will provide the user with a much-improved experience over traditional dentures.
We hope this helps you have a better idea of both fixed dental implant bridges and implant snap dentures. Each offers its own advantages and disadvantages so the ultimate decision lies between you and your Mile High dentist.
