Is there an alternative to dentures?
The only alternative is implants. The most cost effective way is to place 4 to 6 implants per arch and possibly retrofit your dentures to snap into the implants, we may have to remake your dentures to work with the implants. This prevents movement while you are eating and speaking. The other option is to place 6 or 7 implants per arch and place bridges. Bridges are crowns molded together. They look more natural than dentures, don't move, and you don't have to remove the bridges to clean them or use adhesive to hold them in place. READ MORE
