Traditional dentures replace missing teeth. But as any denture patient would tell you, these restorations are far from perfect. Many denture patients experience issues like difficulty chewing, trouble speaking, and significant discomfort. Stability is essential for these prosthetics, and without it, living life with dentures is a big hassle. If you’re struggling with uncomfortable dentures, we offer several amazing alternatives to replace your missing teeth while keeping your smile functional and comfortable! Our denture alternatives use innovative dental implants that anchor your prosthetic to your jawbone, keeping your smile secure.

3 Denture Alternatives at Fine Dental Care
At Fine Dental Care, we offer a variety of traditional denture alternatives that vary in stability and design.
Implant Overdenture
Many patients hate the instability of traditional dentures but still want to be able to remove their prosthetics. For complete control over your implant denture, we recommend trying an implant overdenture!
This prosthetic, often called a snap-in denture, “snaps” on and off your dental implants with ease. Whenever you need to take your denture out to clean it at home, simply snap it off your implants and snap it back in place when you’re done.
Although they’re removable, these dentures stay incredibly secure on your implants. With implant overdentures, you can chew foods effectively without worrying about your smile slipping and sliding around on your gums.
But that stability largely depends on routine maintenance. At your hygiene visits, we will remove your denture to clean it and replace the tight O-rings inside the denture base, which lock it in place on your implants. Without routine care, even an implant denture will become looser over time.
Semi-removable Roundhouse Bridge
For patients who don’t want to worry about removing their denture, we offer semi-removable roundhouse bridges.
Roundhouse bridges replace all missing teeth like a denture, but with a sleeker, more comfortable design. These structures consist of an arch of artificial teeth bonded together. The arch follows the natural curve of your jawbone, where we strategically place dental implants.
Because of their unique design and incredible stability, roundhouse bridges don’t need a large denture base. In many cases, patients don’t need a base at all! Their restorations resemble an arch of teeth that secures directly over the implants in your gums.
But instead of snapping these prosthetics on and off implants, these dentures stay in place until your routine dental visits. At our office, we will remove your denture for routine maintenance. At home, your restoration stays in place and functions like natural teeth.
Non-removable Roundhouse Bridge
Sometimes, after losing all of their teeth, all a patient wants is their natural smile back. While that’s not truly possible, a non-removable roundhouse bridge is about as close as you can get.
Non-removable roundhouse bridges are sleek and comfortable. But instead of being taken off only at dental visits, these prosthetics are never removed. Once they fit over your implants, we will cement them in place to provide a permanent solution to tooth loss.
Achieving this level of stability requires several dental implants for support. But at Fine Dental Care, we typically use minimally invasive, one-piece implants that are slimmer and easier to place.
We will line your jawbone with 10 to 12 implants and provide you with a temporary restoration to keep your smile functional. Then, once the implants are secure, we will provide you with a final roundhouse bridge that we cement in place to restore your smile permanently.
Find Affordable Denture Alternatives in Wayne, NJ
Traditional dentures are the most affordable option in most cases. However, they come at the price of your comfort and ability to chew. Our denture alternatives vary in price, depending on their design and the number of implants they require.
- Implant overdentures: Our most affordable implant denture option is an overdenture, or snap-in denture. This prosthetic requires the fewest implants, making it generally more affordable.
- Semi-removable roundhouse bridges: Roundhouse bridges require more implants, so they’re a little more expensive than implant overdentures. In general, semi-removable roundhouse bridges require around 6 to 10 dental implants.
- Non-removable roundhouse bridges: Since they use the most implants, non-removable roundhouse bridges are typically the most expensive implant denture option. But that price comes with amazing stability and comfort, restoring your smile to near-natural strength.
Many patients will start with the most affordable option and switch to more secure prosthetics over time. At Fine Dental Care, we will work with you to find a solution that fits both your lifestyle and your budget.
Dental insurance may cover part of your denture treatment, but it likely won’t cover the entire procedure. Fortunately, we offer flexible financing to make care affordable.
