Traditional Dentures: Tried and True

Today’s dentures are more natural-looking and comfortable than ever before. They’re custom-made and don’t require surgery, making them a budget-friendly choice. However, they may still slip or cause discomfort during eating and speaking.

Dental Implants: The Gold Standard

Traditional dental implants offer the most permanent and natural tooth replacement option. They integrate with the jawbone for superior strength and durability, lasting 20 years or more. They usually take more appointments, longer to heal and cost more upfront.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stabili-Teeth™

1. What makes Stabili-Teeth™ different from traditional dentures?
