Shopping for a new car is all about finding the perfect fit for your needs—whether you’re looking for reliability, speed, or cutting-edge features. You browse the options, compare models, and weigh what matters most to you: Is it the dependability of a trusty sedan, the performance of a sleek sports car, or the comfort and safety of a mid-range SUV? Just as you’d carefully choose the vehicle that fits your lifestyle, choosing the right denture solution is equally important when it comes to your oral health and comfort. Whether you’re looking for affordability, enhanced durability, or exceptional stability, Brent Bradford, DDS, offers a range of implant denture options to meet your unique needs.
The Traditional Denture Model
A traditional denture is like an aging, worn-out sedan. It’s functional but far from ideal, as it lacks the comfort, stability, and modern features of newer models. Just as an older car might rattle, require frequent repairs, and struggle with performance, traditional dentures can slip, cause discomfort, and require adjustments to improve fit. They provide a basic solution but fall short in terms of long-term reliability and comfort.
Traditional dentures sit on your gums, relying on suction, moisture in your mouth, or messy denture adhesive to stay in place. However, even with these methods, they can shift or become loose over time, making tasks like eating and speaking challenging. Because they don’t anchor to the jawbone, traditional dentures can easily move, irritating your soft tissues and making it harder to chew or speak clearly.
Implant Denture Options
You wouldn’t keep driving an old clunker if it couldn’t get you where you need to go, right? If your current dentures aren’t providing the comfort and stability you deserve, it’s time to consider implant dentures. At Brent Bradford, DDS, we offer a range of implant denture options to suit your unique needs and lifestyle.
Snap-On Denture
Snap-on dentures are like upgrading to the newest release of a reliable economy car, like a Honda Civic. They offer the essential features you need, such as enhanced stability and function, but are removable and easy to maintain—just like how an economy car is affordable, practical, and dependable for daily use.
We secure snap-on dentures with 4-6 mini dental implants (4 for the bottom, 6 for the top). These narrow-diameter implants are an innovative alternative to large conventional implants. They’re ideal for patients who have experienced jawbone loss, such as long-term denture wearers or those who have been dealing with missing teeth for an extended period. While the implants remain securely embedded in the jawbone, this prosthetic is removable for cleaning.
This implant denture option provides better stability than a conventional denture due to its implant anchor points. While it uses similar materials, the snap-on denture is a lot less bulky. As a result, it’s much more comfortable and allows you to better taste your food.
Semi-Removable Roundhouse Bridge
Another denture alternative is a semi-removable roundhouse bridge: a full arch of artificial zirconia teeth that only Dr. Bradford can remove at your checkups. We use the Fix-on-Six® approach to stabilize this restoration, placing 6 mini dental implants in the jaw. This option is comparable to a mid-range SUV, like the Toyota Highlander—it strikes a balance between durability, convenience, and affordability.
Zirconia is a preferred material that has become popular for dental restorations due to its ability to mimic the durability and appearance of your natural enamel. Its strength, combined with 6 mini implants, provides even more stability and chewing power than a snap-on denture. Like an SUV, this option offers more advanced features and greater reliability.
Non-Removable Roundhouse Bridge
Looking for the most stable implant denture option? The non-removable roundhouse bridge is exactly that. It’s like the Lexus LS or a Cadillac—luxury vehicles known for their comfort, durability, and high-end features. Just as these cars offer long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep, a non-removable roundhouse bridge delivers unmatched stability and ease of maintenance.
Like the Fix-on-Six bridge, the restoration is made from zirconia. However, we’ll permanently cement the restoration to 10-12 mini implants. This system ensures a natural feel and durable solution that you can care for just like natural teeth. Like the precision engineering of a Lexus or Cadillac, these bridges offer top-tier performance, comfort, and reliability for a lasting smile.
