Dental Implants vs. Dentures

Many people interested in our dental implant oral surgery procedures are curious about the differences of dental implants vs dentures. At Dallas Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in Plano, our oral surgeons are happy to walk patients through every step of the process, educating them on materials, costs, recovery tips, long-term care, and more.

When you require teeth replacement, there are only a few options: dental implants or dentures. There are, however, several factors that will determine your choice. This ranges from the price, your preference, and the overall health of the jawbone as well as the remaining teeth.

Dentures and implants both have pros and cons; therefore, you need to make your decision in detail to ensure that you make a suitable choice. Dentures and dental implants will often serve the same purposes, which are to help in chewing foods that would otherwise be difficult to consume, assist in the support of facial muscles, and enhance your speech, boost self-esteem and provide a better smile.

There are, however, significant differences between dental implants and dentures. Therefore, before you make that big decision, here are important points to note to ensure that you choose the best dental solution at Dallas Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery.

The Technique Of Implants vs. Dentures

An implant will need enough bone to place screws that will then be capped with crowns. Over the years, the technology for dental implants has improved and has recorded more procedures in adults 55 to 64 years of age. Dentures are removable; it does not matter if you have enough jawbone or not. They come as complete sets of teeth to replace either the teeth in the upper jaw or lower jaw.
The Budget For Implants vs. Dentures

Dental implants will often be more expensive than dentures. However, you will note that prices, in most cases, will vary depending on the dentist’s location, among other factors. On the other hand, a complete set of dentures is not that expensive compared to dental implants. Determining the right choice will help you budget better and know exactly what you will be choosing. You can inquire from several providers to make a firm decision after comparing and considering several factors.
Maintenance Of Dentures vs. Implants

Care for dental implants is the same as dental hygiene for natural teeth. This means you will need to brush in the morning and evening daily, floss, and consider checkups. Dentures are long-term and will need to be maintained daily. You can remove them at night and soak them in a solution suitable for cleaning.
Which Is The Right Choice For You?

Ensure that you make a suitable decision for your dental solutions. Consult with one of our surgeons at Dallas Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery who is well-versed in your overall dental health.

Patient Feedback

Dr. Sherry was very professional and personable. Day one of meeting him he made me and my family confident about surgery. He was available for questions, concerns, and did a thorough job talking us through the process/recovery. His team was also incredible, so helpful and friendly. I had a great healing process, no complications, and overall a great experience! I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Sherry and his team if you are even considering oral surgery.

Dr. Lee and his staff did such an amazing job. All within one week I had a consultation and procedure to have wisdom teeth removed. I’ve already referred a friend to him as well. They are so affordable and made each encounter comfortable. He truly cares for his patients. So all in all I thank him and his staff for a job well done. Definitely call and make that appointment no need to look any further.

Absolutely THE best dental experience I have had in my entire life! I had been suffering from a failed root canal (done by a dentist I shall not name). Dr. Gannon and his staff took care of my needs (xrays, antibiotics, etc) until I was able to get the tooth surgically removed. No pain and aftercare follow-up with them was great! If there were 10 stars I would rate them at that! I wish they did regular dentistry there too.
