A conventional, non implant-retained denture rests on your gums. A denture that is held in place with dental implants has the stability of implant posts that are surgically placed in your gum line. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conventional implants can provide an effective tooth replacement for people who are ineligible for dental implants due to their oral or overall health or because of financial limitations &#8212; but people who are good candidates for dental implants should strongly consider this replacement option. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental implants offer an unquestionably more successful tooth replacement than a conventional denture. But thanks to options like All-on-4 in Bellingham, we can give you both! All-on-4, or Teeth In a Day, is an implant method that offers patients a fully-functional fixed denture supported by dental implants &#8212; all in less than 24 hours. That\u2019s great news for many patients. <\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Number of Dental Implant Benefits<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental implants offer significant benefits compared to conventional dentures. Some of the most considerable advantages of an implant-retained denture include:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restored ability to eat, chew, speak, and smile without the stress or hassle of a loose or ill-fitting denture<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No need for messy or ineffective denture creams or adhesives<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dental implant-retained prosthetic lasts longer<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental implants promote better oral and overall health<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When cared for properly, dental implants can last for many years<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which Is Right for You?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only way to know whether or not a conventional denture or an implant-retained option is best for you is to schedule an appointment with our office. When you do, we will carefully examine your teeth and jawbone, take x-rays, talk to you about your smile goals and budget, and make a recommendation regarding which will suit you best. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, dental implants are a great option for people who are in good oral and overall health and who have enough in the budget to pay a higher cost upfront. Traditional dentures are better suited for people for whom time is a priority, who have smaller budgets, or who do not have sufficient jawbone structure to support dental implants. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter which is right for you, we look forward to getting started right away! Because everyone deserves a beautiful, complete smile. <\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About the Authors<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/about-the-doctors.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drs.
