Dental implants are a permanent, non-removable restoration, whereas dentures are prosthetic tooth replacements that require nighttime removal. Dentures need to soak in a special overnight solution and are known to be uncomfortable and can often slip out of the mouth when eating or speaking.
Since implants are permanent replacement that acts just like your natural teeth, they can last a lifetime. They’re secured to your jaw and never need to be removed. Implants also stimulate your jaw to prevent bone loss and preserve your facial appearance.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Villalobos will discuss your tooth replacement options and determine the best treatment based on your needs.
