A Clear Comparison for Lasting Tooth Replacement
Implant Fixed vs. Removable Dentures
Why Choose Fixed Over Removable
Compare Long-Term Results, Comfort, and Function
For many years, removable dentures were the standard for replacing missing teeth. But modern implant dentistry has redefined what’s possible — offering fixed solutions that look, feel, and function more like natural teeth. At Monterey Peninsula Dental Implant Center in Santa Cruz, we specialize exclusively in dental implants, giving our patients a permanent, stable alternative to removable dentures.
Dentures Aren’t Your Only Option
Implants Deliver the Function and Confidence Dentures Can’t
Removable dentures may seem like a quick fix, but they often come with long-term trade-offs — from slipping and sore spots to the gradual loss of jawbone structure and facial volume. Dental implants, on the other hand, replace both the tooth and the root, helping to preserve your jawbone and allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Unlike traditional dentures that must be removed daily, full arch implant restorations are fixed in place — no adhesives, no clicking, and no soaking overnight.
