Fixed vs. Removable Dentures – Santa Maria, CA
A Clear Comparison for Lasting Tooth Replacement
Why Choose Fixed Over Removable?
Compare Long-Term Results, Comfort, and Function
For decades, removable dentures were the go-to solution for missing teeth. But today, implant-supported fixed restorations have redefined what’s possible—offering a permanent, stable, and natural-looking alternative.
At Mai Dental Care in Santa Maria, we specialize in dental implants, helping patients regain full confidence and functionality with fixed teeth that don’t slip, click, or require nightly removal.

- Rhonda K.This was my first time visit and was so happy with the kind and respectful treatment that I received! I am in a power wheelchair and even though it was an older building the girls who work there were so patient and helpful as I maneuvered my way around! Dr. Mai was thorough and encouraging, making me feel comfortable while working with me!!read moreread lessMesha G.Mai Dental has thus far been one of the best dental experiences I’ve had . I had recently moved back to Santa Maria and hadn’t found a dentist and had procrastinated, I ended up having severe pain in my tooth and my face was swelling . I contacted Mai Dental and they were able to get me in immediately, the receptionist had so much sympathy for me that you don’t normally find in people. Once arriving at my dental appointment I treated very well by everyone and found out I needed a root canal and had an infection . Once the Dr. was able to relieve my pain by numbing my gums and giving me antibiotics she was able to go over treatment plans with me. Mai Dental made it easy for me as they have several different financing options. Later that day and the next day the Dr called to check on me . In my experience that has not always been the case with Dr’s. I am still undergoing treatment with Mai Dental as I needed more work , but I wouldn’t want to work with any other dentist again. They are kind , compassionate, skilled and thorough. If any one is looking for a great dentist and has had bad experiences before I urge you to go to Mai Dental.read moreread less
