Which is better fixed or removable dentures?

Whether fixed or removable dentures are better for an individual depends on their specific needs and circumstances. 

Both types of dentures have advantages and disadvantages.

Fixed dentures, also known as dental implants or implant-supported dentures, are secured in place with dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone. This provides a more stable and secure fit compared to removable dentures, which rely on suction and/or dental adhesives to stay in place. Fixed dentures also do not require removal for cleaning.

However, fixed dentures are more expensive than removable dentures and may not be suitable for all patients, particularly those with insufficient bone density in the jaw.

Removable dentures, on the other hand, are a more affordable option and do not require surgery. They are also easy to clean, as they can be removed for cleaning and maintenance. However, they may not provide as secure of a fit as fixed dentures, and can be uncomfortable or cause irritation or sores in some patients.

In summary, the best type of denture depends on an individual's specific needs and circumstances, such as their oral health, budget, and personal preferences. It's important to consult with a dental professional to determine the best tooth replacement option for your individual needs.
