What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a modern alternative to dentures. They are permanently placed in the mouth with titanium posts. Many patients love dental implants for their permanent and natural look.
What are Dentures?
Dentures are removable artificial teeth that replace missing or broken teeth. We offer multiple types of dentures that are customized for your smile. Dentures restore your smile and offer additional support.
Difference Between Dentures and Implants
Our knowledgeable dental team will help determine if dentures or dental implants are the best answer for you. The most significant differences between dentures and implants include their structure and functionality. Dentures either replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw or a few missing teeth. They are easily removable for cleaning. Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone with a titanium post and topped with a crown.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures are a cost-effective way to replace missing teeth for a natural smile. They don’t require surgery or downtime. Dentures are often your best option if you want a relatively quick fix for missing teeth. The only downsides to dentures are they require daily removal for cleaning, may become loose over time, and do not prevent jawbone deterioration.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are an excellent permanent fixture for your smile. They can last a lifetime and function like normal teeth. Our patients love that they help maintain jawbone structure. While dental implants offer a natural look, they are more expensive than dentures. Patients must undergo surgery and a longer healing period for dental implants, which can take several months from start to finish.
Factors to Consider
We understand choosing between dental implants and dentures can be challenging. Some of the most important factors to consider include:
- Cost – Dental implants typically have a higher initial cost but are a long-term investment
- Health – Dental implants require good oral and overall health, including sufficient jawbone density.
- Convenience – Dentures require daily maintenance and can be less convenient.
- Aesthetics - Both options can look natural, but implants tend to offer a more natural appearance and feel.
- Comfort – Implants generally offer higher comfort levels as they become a part of your mouth structure.

Dental Implant Aftercare
We provide post-operative instructions after dental implant surgery. It’s important to care for the area around the implant by avoiding chewing directly on it. Avoid alcohol, don’t smoke, and refrain from consuming hot beverages immediately following surgery. After your dental implant area heals, you can treat it as a normal tooth with everyday dental care.
Denture Aftercare
Dentures need to be cleaned each day in water or a denture cleanser solution to help them retain their shape. It’s essential to cautiously take care of your dentures to ensure they stay in optimal shape. They are easily removable for care.
Candidacy Consultation
Our team begins the cosmetic dentistry journey with a candidacy assessment that helps us decide if a denture or dental implant is best for you. We perform X-rays and determine your overall oral health. We may recommend bone grafting before proceeding to dental implants if there is a severe loss of jawbone density.
