Replacing teeth that are missing can be an important contributor to your overall health and well-being and self esteem. But which option should you choose? Dentures or Dental Implants?
Dentures
- Dentures are designed to conform to the shape of your mouth
- Your gums and the underlying bone structure support the dentures
- Dentures rub against your gums and often create sore spots
- Dentures are removable and cleaned outside the mouth
- Dentures must be removed nightly
Dental Implants
- Dental Implants are embedded in the jaw bone, they do not rest or rub on your gums
- Dental Implants stay inside your mouth, look and are treated like your natural teeth.
How the Jaw Bone is Affected
- Dentures rub against the gums, especially in the lower jaw. There is nothing to hold dentures in place and therefore it is difficult to chew when wearing them. Dentures provide only 20% chewing capacity. Over time, the jaw bone shrinks because there is nothing to stimulate or strengthen it. The shape of your mouth will change as a result. Your Dentist may have to regularly adjust the fit of the denture to the changing shape of your mouth.
- Dental Implants are embedded in the jaw bone with a small, screw shape post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Over time, Dental Implants fuse with the jawbone providing stable support to artificial teeth. Dental Implants stimulate and strengthen the jaw bone and prevents it from shrinking. Dental Implants do not slip or create sore spots and chewing is much easier. Dental Implants provide 90% chewing capacity.
How YOU are Affected
- Dentures cause some people to avoid eating in public, or eating hard or crunchy foods, like fruits and vegetables, known to be good for heart health. Denture wearers also feel uncomfortable with speaking, smiling, kissing, or laughing.
- Dental Implants have helped hundreds of thousands of people regain the function they once took for granted, not to mention the confidence to lead a normal life. Implant supported teeth restore the support of cheeks and lips thereby creating a more youthful appearance. Implant-supported teeth look and function just like real teeth, and are maintained with the same oral hygiene practices of brushing and flossing. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or require a complete set of new teeth, Dental Implants can be a viable option for you.
