Comparing Fixed Teeth vs. Removable

There are generally two ways to replace missing teeth: fixed and removable solutions. Removable solutions include traditional dentures. These artificial teeth are set on a base that fits over your gums, but they only restore about 20% of your natural dental function, and they will naturally lose their fit as your mouth changes shape. Implant-supported dentures are attached by two or more surgical implants. They’re still fully removable, but they attach strongly to your jawbone and provide much more support for your mouth. Partial dentures snap on to your remaining teeth using a metal framework to keep it firmly in position.

Fixed dental replacements, on the other hand, are permanently implanted into your mouth. These full mouth dental implants are permanently supported by titanium or zirconia posts that are implanted directly into your jawbone or your zygomatic bone. Not only do they restore up to 98% of your biting and chewing power, and strongly limit jawbone recession, they last a lifetime! You’ll be able to eat without limitations and smile with confidence once more.

We want you to choose the best option for your mouth. You can schedule a consultation with us to discuss your treatment plan and find out what Premier Choice Dental Center can do for you.

Talks About Implants vs Dentures: What's Best For You?

Your Fixed and Removable Tooth Replacement Options

Partial dentures allow you to replace multiple missing teeth with removable teeth, all at the same time! They have a metal framework that clasps onto your remaining teeth, keeping the replacements firmly in position.
Traditional snap-in dentures are generally made from acrylic. They are quick and economical, but they often loosen or fall out with time, and they require adhesive to stick to the inside of your mouth. If your dentures don’t fit anymore, consider bringing them in for a repair at our state-of-the-art dental laboratory in Belgrade, MT.
Implant-supported dentures are made from porcelain or acrylic. They are supported by two or more titanium or zirconia posts that are implanted into your mouth, but still fully removable for cleaning and maintenance. They improve the health of your jawbone compared to traditional dentures, and they provide greater stability when chewing.
These fixed prosthetic bridges of teeth are permanently supported by four or more dental implants, which are surgically attached to your jaw. This restores more than 98% of your original biting and chewing power, enabling you to eat an unlimited diet, while also preventing jawbone loss. You care for dental implants just as you would care for your natural teeth.

Dental Implant Care from Experienced Oral Surgeons

Our dental implant providers in Belgrade, MT, have decades of experience installing dental implants. Even if you were previously told you were a bad candidate for implants due to jawbone recession, Dr. Bannion has extensive training in zygomatic and pterygoid implants, meaning that dental implants may yet be in your reach!

With our state-of-the-art technology and in-house dental laboratory, we provide cutting-edge surgery while keeping treatment as gentle as possible. This ensures the best possible long-term outcomes for your dental implant surgery. The process begins with your consultation, where we discuss your ultimate goals for your smile and take detailed scans of your mouth. After this personalized evaluation, you’ll undergo any preparatory treatments you need, such as bone grafting or tooth extraction. If you have gum disease, we’ll also need to address that before your surgery.

We then complete your dental implant surgery in our Belgrade, MT office while you’re comfortably sedated. In most cases, we can provide temporary replacement teeth on the same day as your surgery! Once you’ve had the chance to heal, we’ll create your final set of replacement teeth in our laboratory. This set of teeth will be customized to fit you exactly: not only will the fit be one-of-a-kind, but the color and shape of the teeth will coordinate with your skin tone and lips! Once this restoration is attached, you can take care of it as you would your natural teeth.
