Dental Implants: With proper care, dental implants can last 25+ years.
Dentures: Typically last 5-7 years before they need to be replaced. They can also slip around and require messy adhesives.
Dental implants provide you with a comfortable and confident smile that can support you for many years to come.
Dental implants can help preserve your oral health, protecting you from common diseases.
Is it better to have dentures or implants?
The choice between dentures and dental implants depends on a few things, including your oral health, budget, and your lifestyle. Dental implants offer superior stability, natural aesthetics, and the ability to preserve your jawbone health. While dentures replace missing teeth, they do not provide the long-term oral health support and security that dental implants provide.
What is the difference in price between dentures and implants?
While the upfront costs for dentures vs implants differ—it's important to understand that dentures will require more maintenance and care in the long-term than securing your smile with dental implants. The financial investment in implants unlocks a smile that is durable, low-maintenance, and easy to care for—reducing the number of adjustments over time. Conversely, dentures will likely need more frequent replacements and can require added costs in adhesives and cleaning solutions.
Are there any downsides to dental implants?
There are a few things to consider, such as the oral surgery involved when placing the implants, as well as the recovery time. Additionally, not everyone is a candidate for implants—which is why it’s important to talk to your ClearChoice care team at your free consultation. They’ll assess your oral health and available bone volume to make sure that implants are the best choice for your smile.
Is it easier to eat with dentures or implants?
It’s easier and more comfortable to eat with dental implants than with dentures. Implants function like your natural teeth and are securely anchored to your jaw, restoring up to 90% chewing capacity and a wider range of food choices. Dentures can slip and cause discomfort while eating, limiting the types of food you can eat.
Are there any age restrictions for getting dental implants compared to dentures?
While there are no age restrictions for dental implants, they’re typically a procedure for a more mature patient that has all of their adult teeth. Both options are suitable for anyone with fully developed jawbones.
Why choose dental implants over dentures?
Have you been wondering why to choose dental implants over dentures? If you’re seeking a permanent smile solution that provides you with teeth that are secure, durable, and have shown a 95% success rate—dental implants may be the best fit for you.
