Dental Implants Vs. Conventional Dentures

Implants can be used to replace one missing tooth so that the replacement looks and feels natural – as can be seen in figure (a). Also, two or more implants can serve as a stable support for a loose fitting denture – seen in figure (b). Remember – Implants also help to maintain the quantity and quality of your jaw bone just like natural teeth. This feature will maintain the youthful appearance of your facial profile while providing a solid platform to retain your replacement teeth (denture).
Many patients who have selected dental implants describe a quality of life that is much more comfortable and secure than the lifestyle endured by those with fixed bridges or removable dentures. Dentures often make a person feel and look older than they are, cause embarrassment in social situations when they slip and click, and restrict the everyday pleasure of eating comfortably. When they count the benefits they enjoy as a result of their dental implants, patients say their implants eliminate the day-to-day frustrations and discomfort of loose fitting dentures. They allow people to enjoy a healthy and varied diet without the restrictions many denture wearers face. With a sense of renewed self-confidence, many people rediscover the excitement of an active lifestyle shared with family and friends and the chance to speak clearly and comfortably with co-workers. For all these reasons, people with dental implants often say they feel better... they look better... they live better.
