Deciding Between Dentures and Implants

June 15, 2021

We’ve provided dental implants in the Doral area for years, and over that time, we’ve helped many people choose whether they want to get implants or dentures. They both have their benefits, which means the option that’s right for you will vary based on your situation.

Why Some People Prefer Implants

Implants are a comfortable, durable solution that helps your smile look brand new. They’re easier to maintain than dentures, as you’ll need to take care of them the same way you would take care of natural teeth. 

It can be difficult for patients with low jawbone density to get dentures. For this reason, we may provide bone grafting services before putting in implants. 

Why Some People Prefer Dentures 

Dentures are more cost-effective, when compared to implants. That said, you will need to get them replaced as your bite shifts. You will need to take them out to clean them, and they shouldn’t be left in your mouth overnight. 

Dentures may be necessary if you have periodontal disease or a gum infection. They can be used to replace a gap of teeth or replace all your teeth.

How Do I Choose?

If you’re not sure which solution is right for you, you’ll want to consider your: 

  • Age – Implants are longer-lasting, which makes them more popular with patients below the age of 70. 
  • Economic situation – Some people need to wear dentures, which are more affordable. 
  • Jawbone – If you don’t have the requisite bone density in your jaw, you may need to wear dentures.
