Stability is the most important aspect of a denture. Without stability, patients may experience discomfort, functional limitations, and reduced overall satisfaction in their everyday lives. Unfortunately, traditional dentures often struggle to stay secure, as they lack a solid foundation. But with implant dentures, patients enjoy stability that lasts! At Riviera Dental Care, we offer traditional denture alternatives that use mini dental implants for support. These titanium posts anchor your denture to your jaw, providing a stable bite that you’ll enjoy comfortably.

Traditional Denture Alternatives
Traditional dentures use your jawbone for support. But because they don’t replace your missing tooth roots, your jaw tends to deteriorate over time. A shrinking jawbone makes for a poor foundation, causing a lot of the instability issues denture patients experience.
But implant dentures eliminate this problem, as dental implants act like artificial tooth roots! These titanium screws embed in your jawbone, keeping it healthy while providing a stable foundation for your denture to rely on.
Our Implant Denture Alternatives in Foley, AL
| Retsoration | Strength | Stability | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snap-in Denture | A snap-in denture is strong when on your implants. It chews through many of the foods patients may have found difficult to eat with loose traditional dentures. | Snap-in dentures rely on 4 to 8 mini implants for support. When on your implants, this denture is very secure. However, you can remove the prosthetic for maintenance at your convenience. | Snap-in dentures are our most affordable implant dentures because they use the fewest implants. Additionally, we may be able to reuse your traditional denture for the base. |
| Semi-removable Roundhouse Bridge | A semi-removable roundhouse bridge is a little stronger than a snap-in denture, as it uses more implants. The more evenly we distribute the pressure of your bite, the stronger your bite becomes. | Semi-removable roundhouse bridges are never removed by you. Instead, they stay secure on 6 to 10 implants until routine dental visits. At these appointments, we will remove your denture for maintenance. | Semi-removable roundhouse bridges are more expensive than snap-in dentures, as they require more implants for better stability. |
| Non-removable Roundhouse Bridge | A non-removable roundhouse bridge is cemented in place, never to come out. These restorations are about as strong as your natural teeth, allowing you to eat the foods you love again without hesitation. | Non-removable roundhouse bridges are anchored in place by 10 to 12 mini implants. Because we cement the denture to your implants, it both looks and functions like your natural teeth. Not even we will remove your prosthetic. | Non-removable roundhouse bridges are the most expensive implant dentures we offer. But many patients find the price worth it, as they provide unmatched stability and comfort. |
Making Implant Dentures More Affordable
Implant dentures use multiple titanium screws, which makes them expensive for some patients. And unfortunately, most insurance companies don’t cover dental implant treatment.

However, we still encourage patients to bring their insurance information so we can check their coverage. Some plans offer partial coverage for implants or a denture, while others may cover any preparatory procedures that you need.
But without coverage, you may be left with hefty out-of-pocket costs! Fortunately, Riviera Dental Care has a solution. We offer affordable denture alternatives with flexible financing!
Dental implant financing involves applying to multiple third-party lending organizations. Then, depending on your eligibility, these companies may offer payment plans that better suit your budget. During your free consultation with us, mention financing. We will be able to show you the options available to you and help you choose a plan that is right for you.
