5 Reasons why you should transition from Dentures to Dental Implants?

Whichever the situation, single or multiple tooth loss, dental implants are the best treatment solution without any doubt. The only other treatment option for tooth loss is dentures though it is not comparable. While dentures may be an inexpensive and simple way to restore your teeth, it may not often be the best long-term choice. If you are a person who is deciding over a treatment option or if you already have dentures for a long period of time and you are quite unhappy with it, here are 5 reasons why you should choose Dental Implants over Dentures.

5 reasons why you should choose Dental Implants over Dentures

The experience with dentures and dental implants

Dentures are placed over the gum tissue and are secured to the adjacent teeth. This placement is not rigid and tends to shift and move from its place. This makes it look and feel quite unnatural. Dental Implants, however, involve surgically placing the implants into the jaw bone. The jaw bone fuses with the implant providing a rigid and firm placement of the implant eliminating any movement. This provides a natural look and feels to the patient.

Dental Implants do not slip and move

Almost all partial dentures will slip or move while chewing, eating or even sometimes while speaking. Once it has slipped from its original position, it will take a while to adjust the slippage and may create embarrassing moments during social interactions. Since dental implants are directly fixed into the jaw bone, any form of movement is completely eliminated, providing you with the freedom to eating anything and speaking with confidence.

Dental Implants prevent jaw bone loss

Since Dental Implants are fixed into the jaw bone, the jaw bone and gum tissue around and underneath the implant is constantly stimulated while eating, biting, and chewing. This prevents the jaw bone from receding. Because partial dentures only rest above the gum tissue, it does not stimulate the underlying gum tissue and jaw bone. This can result in visible jaw bone recession and loss of gum tissue over a period of time. This can be evidently seen by the facial skin sagging over time.

Dentures require special care for its maintenance

Although both, dental implants and dentures need to be maintained, dentures require some extra attention. Dentures need to be removed and cleaned after every meal to prevent food debris from building up below the denture. Not cleaning your dentures regularly can put you under the risk of oral infections. Dental Implants, on the other hand, do not require any special care as they are more like natural teeth. Just the regular brushing, flossing and rinsing your mouth with an antibacterial mouthwash, twice a day every day is more than enough.

Dental Implants are a better long term investment

Dental Implants may seem expensive especially when compared to dentures but dental implants last a significantly longer time than dentures. Typically a dental implant will last a lifetime if oral hygiene is marinated properly. On the other hand, dentures need to be replaced every 3-5 years. Ultimately, in the long run, dental implants will save you a lot of time and money.
