Comparison of Dentures and Implants |
Posted on 4/12/2021 by Todd Jorgenson |
 Dentures and implants are core parts of the Prosthodontic procedure today. Prosthodontists regularly deal with customers requiring both procedures and routinely get asked about the differences between both dentures and implants.
Before choosing it is best recommended that you understand the difference between both implants and dentures. Both these solutions can cover up your missing teeth and can give you the kind of solution you require. Read the article below to determine which one of these two options is right for you.
Pros and Cons of Dentures and Implants
Dentures are by far the most common and cost-efficient solution for missing them. Dentures come with a removable option that can help you take them out of your mouth after nightfall or when you're sleeping. In short, dentures are false teeth that do an impressive job at looking real. Dentures require daily maintenance thought and have to be cleaned after every meal, as you don't want bits of food to be stuck inside them.
Implants, on the contrary, are the opposite of dental implants. For implants to work, you need to go through an invasive procedure that attaches the abutment and implants to lower or upper jaw. The procedure is conclusive, and your dental implants will not need adjustments once it is done. Implants also have a longer lifespan.
Both these options will help improve facial support, improve your chewing ability and the way you pronounce words and greatly help boost your confidence.
Are Dentures or Implants Better?
Choosing between dentures and implants comes down to your oral health. Dental implants only work if you have good healthy gums with decent bone density. Since your gums support the implant, they should be healthy. Dentures are ideal for people with frail bones and gum health, where implants won't work.
