Before you make a decision about whether you want to choose dental implants or dentures to restore your mouth you should talk to a trusted dentist in Waimea that can best explain your options. Both options will replace missing teeth and give you the ability to smile and eat comfortably. Both options can last for up to 15 years. Both options have to be processed by a dentist over several visits.
Here Are the Differences
Dentures are removable. Implants can only be removed by the dentist, more rightfully the implant itself, the part that is placed into the jaw cannot be removed by the top crown can. Dentures are less expensive then implants and some would say less painful but they are not a permanent feature. Implants can require a little more effort in the initial stages but they can last you a life time and they do not slide or slip while you are eating or talking. Dentures can slide, create hot spots in the mouth and slip. Replacing a whole mouth of teeth with implants would be insanely expensive, but there are other mini-implant options that your dentist can discuss with you which is usually a nice balance between dentures and implants.
The benefits of implants
* A more permanent option
* The look more natural
* They never have to be removed
* They feel more natural in your mouth
* They can prevent bone loss in the jaw that you can experience with dentures
Implants are not the right solution for everyone but they may be the right solution for you. The only way to know for sure is to contact Dr. and make an appointment! You can get all the information you need to make an informed decision.
