Implants vs Dentures
Make An Appointment






Dental implants are far easier to take care of the dentures. You simply have to take care of a dental implant the same way you do the rest of your teeth. Brush your dental implant with the rest of your teeth and floss around it when you floss your other teeth.
In contrast, taking care of dentures is harder. You should never wear your dentures overnight. Instead, make sure they soak in a special cleaning solution. You should also brush away any adhesive that lingers on your gums when you remove your dental implants. You may need to refit your dentures if your bite changes over time.
Dental implants are designed to last for decades. As long as you take care of your dental implant the way you do a regular tooth, your dental implant could last the rest of your life. Because of this, dental implants are popular among younger patients who do not want to worry about replacing the implant down the road.
Dentures are also extremely durable. Depending on the material used to make your dentures, they could last for up to 10 years. Eventually, your dentures may degrade, meaning you have to replace them. The better you take care of them, the longer they will last.
In order to place dental implants, there needs to be enough bone tissue and gum tissue. First, any damage to tissue has to be removed. Then, a titanium post is implanted in the jaw. Once the bone has started to grow around the post, a porcelain cap will be placed, which can take a few months.
In contrast, Dentures are made by taking an impression of the upper and lower gums. Then, this impression will be used to generate a preliminary set of dentures for your mouth. Dentures inserted and removed with ease. They are usually held in place with an adhesive.
