Stability & Function
Excellent. Fixed permanently to implants. No slipping or movement. You can eat all types of food with confidence.
Biting Power
Restores ~95% of natural biting power, allowing you to enjoy a full diet.
Comfort & Feel
Feels like natural teeth. Because the bridge is fixed and doesn’t cover the roof of your mouth, taste and sensation are unaffected.
Bone Health
Preserves the jawbone. The implants stimulate the bone, preventing future bone loss and preserving your facial structure.
Appearance
The most natural and aesthetic result. The final bridge is custom-designed to look and feel like your own teeth.
Maintenance
Simple and easy. You care for them just like natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing. They are not removed.
Longevity
Longest-lasting solution. Designed to last many years with proper care and regular dental check-ups.
Overall Value
Highest long-term value. While the initial investment is higher, it is a one-time solution that eliminates ongoing costs for adhesives, relines, and replacements.
Stability & Function
Good. The denture “snaps” onto implants, providing good stability. However, it is still a removable piece.
Biting Power
Restores ~60% of natural biting power. Some food restrictions may apply.
Comfort & Feel
Good comfort, but removable. More secure than traditional dentures, but the denture can still feel bulky.
Bone Health
Preserves bone only in the areas where implants are placed. Some bone loss may still occur elsewhere in the jaw.
Appearance
Looks natural, but the connection points can sometimes be visible, and the denture can be bulkier.
Maintenance
Requires daily removal for cleaning the denture and the area around the implants.
Longevity
Denture replacement required. Implants are long-lasting, but the removable denture itself will likely need to be replaced every 5-10 years.
Overall Value
Moderate initial cost. A good middle-ground option, but will have recurring costs for denture replacement over time.
Stability & Function
Poor. Rests on the gums and is often held in place with messy adhesives. Prone to slipping while eating or talking.
Biting Power
Restores only ~25% of natural biting power, leading to significant dietary limitations.
Comfort & Feel
Often uncomfortable. Can cause sore spots on the gums and the upper denture covers the roof of the mouth, affecting taste.
Bone Health
Accelerates bone loss. Without teeth or implants to stimulate it, the jawbone shrinks over time, leading to a sunken facial appearance.
Appearance
Can look artificial. The fit worsens as the jawbone shrinks, requiring frequent adjustments to maintain appearance.
Maintenance
Requires daily removal for cleaning and soaking. Adhesives can be messy and difficult to clean off.
Longevity
Requires frequent replacement. Due to ongoing bone loss, dentures need to be relined or replaced every 5-7 years.
Overall Value
Lowest initial cost, but the highest long-term cost due to the constant need for adhesives, repairs, relines, and replacements.
