If you have been using dentures for years and are ready for a change, dental implants may be the perfect solution. In the beginning, many patients get frustrated with dentures, but in the beginning, they were the easier choice. Prostheses are easier to make, and since there is no surgical treatment, they do not require recovery time. The cost of prostheses is much cheaper than dental implants. That’s why patients have prostheses. However, after a while, they get tired of the discomfort of prostheses. It is troublesome because prostheses need to be taken out and cleaned regularly. Dentures cannot provide the facial support that implants provide and over time, our faces sag. Dental implants help keep your jawbone healthy so that your facial structure stays intact. Dental implants can improve your dental health, and can give you a better quality of life. Implants are permanent and last for years. Patients do not have to worry about slipping or clicking, and can eat the foods they love without worrying their dentures fall out. Implants are comfortable and feel like natural teeth. Over time your jawbone mass decreases, and you may not have enough bone to support the implants. In these cases, patients may need a bone graft.
