A letter on coronavirus awareness from Cameo Dental Specialists |
Implants Vs Dentures
|
• | Technology has allowed dentures to become more customized, and appear more natural. |
• | Restored ability to eat and speak. |
• | Restored smile. |
• | Require significant daily maintenance. |
• | Will not always fit properly. Your jaw changes shape due to bone resorption after tooth loss. This means that, over time, your denture will cease to fit correctly. You will need to be fit for a new set approximately every seven years. |
• | Can slip out of place, causing both embarrassment and denture sores. |
• | Not very comfortable. |
• | Restrict blood flow to the gums. |
• | Restored smile. |
• | Restored abilities to eat and speak. |
• | Easy to care for. |
• | They are not removable. |
• | Your teeth are more comfortable, being supported by the implants rather than your gums. |
• | Will not slip out of place. |
• | The titanium rods imitate the roots of your natural teeth. This helps to preserve the integrity of your jawbone, preventing the bone loss normally associated with tooth loss. |
• | More expensive. |
• | Require a surgical procedure, with weeks to months of recovery. |
• | Not meant for everyone. Significant bone loss may make you ineligible. There are options in these cases, however, depending upon your circumstances. All-on-4® Treatment Concept implants have allowed many with bone loss to receive dental implants. Some patients may require another surgical procedure known as a bone graft before getting dental implants to restore lost bone mass. |
