Understanding Roadblocks: Why do patients prefer a fixed implant restoration over removable?

When facing edentulism, many patients end up choosing removable implant restorations over fixed restorations due to a lack of awareness, budget, or previous misconceptions. As a skilled clinician, it may be easy for you to see the benefits of a fixed restoration yourself, but knowing how to make that accessible to your patient base can be easier said than done. That’s why it’s important to understand the factors that may lead a patient to favoring one treatment or the other and how you can guide them to choose the solution that will best fit their needs and lifestyle.
