Dental Implants vs Dentures

• Implant teeth become a permanent part of mouth and are not taken out
• No restriction on type of food
• Look and feel more like natural teeth
• Preserve jaw and facial bone and prevent premature aging appearance
• Better self confidence while eating, talking and socializing
• Better overall health with a more complete diet
• Implant teeth are permanently attached to mouth and never get lost
• Implant teeth are made of porcelain and never wear down
• Implant teeth don’t require adhesives or cream
• Implant teeth have higher initial cost but they last much longer, don’t need replacements and offer a much higher quality of life.

• Denture teeth are removable and are taken out of mouth
• Diet is restricted to softer food
• Look and feel fake
• Cause jaw bone erosion, collapse of facial structures and make you look older
• Compromised self confidence and social life due to problem with eating and talking
• May cause digestive and other health issue because of restricted diet
• Dentures quite often get lost or break when removed from mouth for cleaning
• Denture teeth are made of plastic and wear down in time and loose the chewing ability
• Dentures slip and move around, require adhesive and creams
• Dentures have lower initial cost but higher long term maintenance and replacement expenses
