Implants over Dentures
What's better?
Traditionally, dentures were the go-to tooth replacement option. Dentures allowed countless individuals to regain some of their oral function. However, this removable oral appliance requires diligent maintenance, cannot be worn overnight, can be difficult to talk with, and sometimes slip out of place while eating. Thankfully, dentures are no longer patients' only option. Modern dentistry offers a better solution to treat tooth loss: dental implants Although growing new teeth is not possible at the moment, dental implants are the next best thing!
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a metal screw that is surgically placed in the jaw bone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once the surgical site is healed, a crown will be placed on top of the implant to complete your smile.
Dental implants feel and function like natural teeth and last a lifetime. Unlike dentures, which are removable, dental implants are a permanent solution. Many patients do not even notice a difference between their replacement teeth and natural teeth. Dental implants allow patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
