A tooth root replacement is possible with dental implants. A crown is attached to the top of the metal post, which acts as the tooth root.

Dental Implants: The Advantages

COMFORTABLE

Your dental implant will feel just like your natural teeth once the gums heal.

IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE

Implants are surgically attached to your jawbone so you don’t have to worry about them falling out.

______

Nobody will be able tell the difference between your implant and your natural teeth.

LONG-LASTING

After 10-15 years, crowns will need to be replaced. However, the implant will last.

RETAIN BONES

Implants can prevent bone loss in your jaw. This can lead to facial collapse and compromise of your remaining teeth.

DO NOT NEED A SPECIAL TREATMENT

You can brush and floss just like you would with your natural teeth.

Dental Implants: The disadvantages

INVASIVE

Implants for dental purposes require surgery to open the gums and place the implant.

EXPENSIVE

Implants are usually more costly than regular dentures.

What are dentures?

Dentures replace missing teeth. They are held in place by the soft and hard tissues of your mouth and look exactly like natural teeth.

Advantages of dentures

RESTORE MULTILE TEETH AT ONCE

You can replace multiple teeth with dentures.

WORKS FOR THE MOST PEOPLE

Implants for dental purposes are usually only available to people with healthy jawbones and gums. However, anyone can get dentures.

EASY TO MAINTAIN

To prevent them drying out, you just need to take them off and wash them each evening.

LOWER PRICES

Implants might not be an option if you have a limited budget.

Advantages and Disadvantages of dentures

FRAGILE

Dentures are fragile. If dropped during a cleaning session, dentures can easily break or crack.

FREQUENT REPLACEMENTS

Over time, dentures can become less comfortable. You should replace your dentures if they become worn out. This could cause damage to your remaining teeth and gums.
