Dentures have come a long way from the stigma attached to them in years past. Modern advancements have revolutionized options for those seeking a confident, functional smile. At Aspen Dental of Cache Valley, our expert team—including Dr. Blake Cameron, Dr. Jeff Wegener, and Dr. Derek Rickson—is dedicated to helping patients achieve life-changing results. If you’re considering dentures, you’ve likely encountered the question of whether traditional dentures or implant-supported solutions are right for you. Here’s what you need to know.
What Are Traditional Dentures?
Traditional dentures are designed to rest atop the gums and are typically removable. They are an affordable option and can be quickly fabricated, making them a popular choice for people needing quick, non-surgical solutions. Because they don’t require surgical placement, many patients see traditional dentures as a cost-effective way to restore their smiles.
However, traditional dentures do come with limitations. They can slip or shift during eating or speaking, requiring adhesives for added stability. The pressure from dentures sitting directly on the gums may also lead to irritation over time. Additionally, traditional dentures don’t offer protection for the jawbone, which can result in bone shrinkage and long-term changes in facial structure. While they are a practical choice for some, it’s essential to understand their drawbacks before making a decision.
Implant-Supported Dentures: The Modern Upgrade
Implant-supported dentures represent a significant leap forward in dental technology. Instead of sitting unsecured on the gums, these dentures are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone. This approach provides an unparalleled level of stability, preventing the movement or clicking often associated with traditional dentures. Chewing becomes easier and more efficient, making it possible to enjoy a broader range of foods.
Beyond comfort and functionality, implant-supported dentures offer valuable health benefits. By stimulating the jawbone, they help prevent the shrinkage that can occur with traditional dentures, maintaining your facial structure over time. These dentures are also designed to last longer and provide a more natural feel and appearance. For patients with significant dental concerns, advanced options like All-on-X allow for faster results with fewer implants, delivering efficient, life-changing solutions.
Advanced Technology Makes It Possible
Aspen Dental of Cache Valley uses state-of-the-art technology to maximize precision and minimize discomfort for patients seeking implant-supported dentures. With tools like intraoral cameras and digital X-rays, we can gather accurate diagnostics for a clear picture of your oral health. Our CT scanner takes precision to the next level, enabling detailed planning for implant placement and ensuring dentures fit comfortably and securely.
This advanced technology not only enhances the accuracy of the procedure but also allows us to personalize each denture plan to suit individual needs. Whether it’s adjusting for optimal stability or ensuring minimal downtime, our technology-driven approach ensures a seamless experience.
Choosing the Right Option for You
When deciding between traditional dentures and implant-supported solutions, it’s essential to consider factors like your oral health, budget, and lifestyle. Traditional dentures may be a short-term or temporary option for those seeking quick solutions, while implant-supported dentures are ideal for those looking for a long-term investment in their smile and overall oral health.

At Aspen Dental, we take time to understand your specific needs and goals, offering expert recommendations tailored to your situation.
