All-on-4 Implants vs Dentures: Which Option Offers More Comfort and Stability? main image || ''
Friday, January 16, 2026
Dentures and All-on-4 implants can both replace a full arch of missing teeth, but they feel and function very differently day-to-day. Traditional dentures are removable and rest on the gums, which can lead to movement, sore spots, and the need for adhesives, especially on the lower arch. Over time, jawbone changes can affect denture fit, sometimes requiring relines or remakes. All-on-4 uses four implants to anchor a fixed bridge, creating a more secure bite and reducing the slipping or shifting that can affect speech and confidence. Because implants transfer chewing forces into the bone, they may also help slow the bone loss that often occurs with long-term denture wear. The best option depends on bone quality, overall health, budget, and your priorities for stability and maintenance. Silver State Smiles evaluates your case with imaging, explains the tradeoffs clearly, and helps you choose a plan that supports comfort, function, and long-term oral health.
