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.
