Replacement of missing tooth- dental implants or dentures ??

DENTAL IMPLANTS VS DENTURES

When teeth are permanently lost, they must be replaced. Not only is this important so that you can continue to chew and speak normally, but it is critical for oral health, facial aesthetics, and overall well-being.

While dental implants and dentures, both are considered suitable procedures of tooth restoration, dental implants have many advantages over dentures.

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURES

WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS & DENTURES?

Below is a quick explanation of both dental implants and dentures as tooth restoration devices:

• Dental Implants: A titanium or zirconium implant is fused to the jawbone and it acts as the tooth’s root. The implant is capped with a bridge or crown and provides natural-looking tooth replacement.

• Dentures: A removable piece designed to look like both the teeth and gums is used to replace the teeth and surrounding tissues. A complete set of dentures can be used when all teeth are missing, and partial dentures can be used where there are still some natural teeth remaining.

DENTURES

Dentures are removable devices and are not permanent. They can warp under hot water or break. Dentures may need to be adjusted, repaired, or replaced within about 6 to 7 years.

• Since dental implants require no special cleaning routine, they are a better option for oral hygiene maintenance.
• Dental implants are fused to the jawbone, which prevents bone loss and deterioration of both the jawbone and the gums. You can retain your natural jaw shape and protect your smile with dental implants.
• Dentures, on the other hand, can irritate the gums and cause mouth sores from the friction.
• With a dental implant for your tooth restoration, your smile will be completely restored and aesthetically pleasing.

WHY ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS BETTER THAN DENTURES?

Both dental implants and dentures are commonly used in dentistry today. However, dental implants are better than dentures in the following ways.

A Permanent, Durable Solution

Dental implants are considered a permanent solution and are secure, durable & built to last a lifetime. Statistics show that dental implants have a 98% success rate. The implant is fused to the jawbone so that it is permanently there, just like a natural tooth.

Optimal Function and Performance

Both dental implants and dentures function just like normal teeth. However, dentures may slip or affect speech, which can be embarrassing or uncomfortable. Dental implants on the other hand, are associated with better chewing and speaking ability than dentures because they are embedded in the jaw like normal teeth.

Better Hygiene

Dental implants can be brushed and flossed normally. Dentures, however, must be removed for special cleaning. Not only is this inconvenient, but it leaves more margin for error in cleaning.

Prevent Bone Loss and Gum Erosion

Dentures can cause the gums to erode and do not offer protection against jawbone loss. This can ultimately lead to your jawbone warping in shape, which will distort and prematurely age your facial aesthetics.

A More Comfortable Solution

Dental implants provide a more comfortable experience.

They just feel like natural teeth. Most people don’t even notice the change once they are inserted.

A Natural Smile

Dentures may look fake or unnatural. Conversely, dental implants look completely natural and blend with the surrounding teeth.
