Denture Alternatives & Denture Replacement in Newport Beach
Tired of a denture that slips, needs adhesive or has lost its bite? Dental implants offer fixed, comfortable alternatives that stay put and preserve the jawbone — from a single tooth to a whole arch.
Alternatives to Dentures: Your Options
Removable dentures replace missing teeth, but many patients dislike the slipping, sore spots, adhesives and reduced bite force — and because a denture rests on the gums, the jawbone beneath it slowly shrinks over the years. Dental implants offer alternatives that are fixed, more comfortable, and that preserve the bone by transmitting chewing forces into the jaw the way natural tooth roots do.
The right option depends on how many teeth are missing and on your bone and health. A single implant replaces one tooth; an implant bridge replaces several in a row; an implant-supported (snap-in) overdenture clips onto a few implants for a denture that stays put; and a fixed full-arch restoration such as All-on-4 replaces a whole arch with a set of teeth that never comes out.
Dr. Nader Salib, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Newport Beach, plans every option from a 3D scan and walks you through the trade-offs — cost, comfort, longevity and the surgery involved — so you can choose what fits your goals and budget.

Who It’s For
What Do Denture Alternatives Cost?
Cost depends on how many teeth you are replacing and which option you choose — a single implant, a bridge, a snap-in overdenture or a fixed full arch — plus any extractions, bone grafting, sedation and the materials chosen for the final teeth.
After a consultation and 3D imaging, Dr. Salib provides a personalized estimate with your insurance benefits applied and financing available through CareCredit, no-interest monthly plans and all major cards.
Recovery
Recovery depends on the option — a single implant is a minor procedure with a few days of mild soreness, while full-arch treatment involves a little more. Soft food while implants integrate over three to six months, and PRP is offered to support faster, more comfortable healing.

What Our Patients Say
“I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Salib and the entire team. From the very first consultation, I felt genuinely cared for and confident that I was in the right hands. Dental procedures like implants, dentures, and bone grafting can feel overwhelming, but Dr. Salib took the time to explain every step in detail, answer all of my questions, and make sure I was comfortable with the plan. The staff is truly outstanding—friendly, patient, and incredibly professional. Every visit felt welcoming, and they went above and beyond to make sure I was at ease. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients, not just the outcome but the overall experience as well. Dr. Salib’s expertise and attention to detail are remarkable. The implant and bone grafting procedures were handled with such precision, and my recovery was much smoother than I expected. The results exceeded my expectations—everything feels natural, secure, and looks amazing. My dentures fit perfectly, and I finally feel confident smiling again. What stood out the most was the level of care and communication throughout the entire process. I was always informed, never rushed, and truly felt like a priority. I highly recommend Dr. Salib and his team to anyone considering implants, dentures, or bone grafting. Their professionalism, skill, and kindness make all the difference. Thank you for giving me my smile and confidence back!”
“Dr. Salib is the best!! My daughter got her wisdom teeth pulled and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Everyone in the office was so friendly and made it way less scary for my daughter. Highly recommend!!!”
“I had the best experience with this office! I went in to remove all 4 of my wisdom teeth and was nervous prior to the procedure. Dr. Salib was so patient and walked me through the entire procedure. I didn’t feel a thing! It was the best experience! And the front staff was just as friendly and kind as he was. They answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease. One of the cleanest offices I’ve been to…. I even had a great view from my treatment room! Truly a wonderful and great experience. I’m so happy this is where I came to get my treatment completed. Highly recommend this office! Thank you so much Dr. Salib!”
“I HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE HERE! I am 23 years old and was kind terrified at my age to get them out due to higher bleeding risk. Due to me being in my 20s on my own I researched several people and did a consult here. I was super impressed and decided to choose him. Yes he was pricier but to me worth every penny!! He is priced higher for a reason in my opinion. Cause his healing after surgery was so fast!! The pain was minimal. The procedure itself was so quick and well done. He sent me home with all the supplies I needed, answered any and all questions. Sent the person taking me home with any aftercare instructions. The PRP after the procedure is more of a cost and honestly I wasn’t gonna do it. But I decided okay let’s try it.. it was sooo worth it. My sister did hers without this and took her over a week to heal and was in so much pain going to another oral surgeon doctor. Whereas I went here to Dr salib and did the PRP and was okay to resume activities in less than 2 days and has minimal pain. Highly highly recommend this doctor!! Choose him to get your wisdom teeth out for sure :)) great experience”
