Which feels more natural to you: fixed implants or removable dentures?

The number of missing teeth changes what “fixed versus removable” means. A single gap might be replaced with one implant and crown, while several missing teeth may be restored with an implant-supported bridge or, in some cases, a removable overdenture that attaches to implants. So it isn’t necessarily one implant for every missing tooth, and the options and cost comparisons can look quite different depending on how many teeth are missing and where. Are people weighing these choices mostly for one gap, or for several teeth?
