Alternatives to Dentures
I often get a question: do I have any alternative to dentures? In today's day and age, now we do, which is really a great new procedure. You might have heard of it: All-on-X or All-on-4.
After you remove all your teeth, we're replacing your teeth with four to six implants and making a denture that is fixed permanently to those implants. Now, it's not a true full denture in the sense that it's not removable by you. It still resembles a denture in that it replaces your teeth and, oftentimes, your gums.
But the beauty of it is that it pretty much restores your chewing and speaking ability to almost 100%. It's the closest thing you'll ever get to having your teeth back. It's a little bit more costly, but I don't think you can put a price on comfort and the ability to chew and eat again like you used to.
