If you’ve experienced tooth loss, you’re not alone—and you have more options than ever to restore your smile. From time-tested traditional dentures to advanced implant-supported systems, the right choice depends on your needs, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

Traditional Dentures: Classic with a Modern Twist

Traditional dentures remain a popular and affordable solution for many patients. These removable prosthetics are secured with denture adhesives and custom-crafted to fit the unique shape of your mouth. Whether you need a full set or partial dentures to fill in a few missing teeth, today’s materials make them more comfortable and natural-looking than ever.

Although adhesives have improved significantly, traditional dentures may still shift or feel less stable during certain activities. If you’re looking for a secure, low-maintenance option, you may want to explore alternatives supported by dental implants.

Implant Dentures: Stability You Can Count On

Denture implants offer an excellent blend of comfort and function. Instead of relying on adhesives, implant-supported dentures anchor to titanium posts placed in your jawbone. These dentures can be removable or fixed, giving you flexibility while boosting stability.

Snap-in dentures click onto the implants and can be removed for cleaning, while permanent dentures are securely attached and feel more like natural teeth. Both options offer better bite force, reduced gum irritation, and greater peace of mind when eating, speaking, or laughing.

All-On-4: A Full Smile in a Single Day

For patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, All-On-4 dental implants offer a streamlined, full-arch restoration using just four implant posts. Known as “teeth in a day,” this method allows for the immediate placement of a secure, natural-looking denture that doesn’t require adhesives.

All-On-4 is ideal for those with limited bone density or those seeking a fast, permanent solution. Dr. Neal Johnson, DMD, will evaluate your oral health and bone structure to determine if this treatment is right for you. It’s a life-changing option for many patients who want to regain a confident, functional smile quickly.
