Dental Implants

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, two popular options often come up in discussions with dentists and patients alike: dentures and All-on-X dental implants. While both aim to restore functionality and aesthetics, they differ in many ways, including design, durability, and patient experience.

If you are thinking about replacing all your teeth, you likely want a clear answer before you move forward. A full mouth restoration with dental implants can rebuild your smile, but the number of implants you need depends on your bone, goals, and the type of teeth you choose. Most full-mouth restorations require between 4 and 8 implants per jaw, though some cases may require more for added support.

If you’re tired of dentures that slip, slide, or make eating difficult, you might be wondering if there’s a better option. Implant-supported dentures attach to metal posts placed in your jawbone, giving you a much more stable fit than regular dentures. They cost more upfront and require surgery, but many people find the improved comfort and confidence worth the investment.
