#16: Fixed Dental Implants vs. Snap-On Dentures
June 2, 2025
Dr. Josh Muir and Dr. Tanner Townsend discuss the pros and cons of fixed versus removable dental implants on their podcast. They highlight that removable snap-in dentures are easier to clean and can be cheaper, especially for lower jaw implants, but offer only 60-70% of normal chewing force. Fixed dentures, like All-on-4 or All-on-X, feel more natural, allow for stronger chewing (up to 90%), and are aesthetically pleasing but are costlier. They emphasize the importance of patient preference and lifestyle, noting that some patients may require removable options for hygiene or lifestyle reasons. Both hosts stress the importance of a free consultation to determine the best option for each patient.
