Dental implants and dentures are both popular options for replacing missing teeth, but dental implants offer several advantages over dentures. Here are some of the benefits of dental implants that make them a better choice for many people:
Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. They are custom-made to match the colour, size, and shape of your existing teeth, so they blend in seamlessly with your smile. In addition, dental implants are anchored securely into your jawbone, so they don’t slip or move around like dentures can.
Improved Comfort: Dentures can be uncomfortable to wear, especially if they don’t fit properly. They can rub against your gums, causing sore spots and irritation. Dental implants, on the other hand, are surgically placed into your jawbone, which means they become a permanent part of your mouth. This eliminates any discomfort that may come from ill-fitting dentures.
Longevity: With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. Dentures, on the other hand, need to be replaced every few years. Over time, dentures can become worn down and may no longer fit properly, which can lead to discomfort and difficulty eating and speaking.
Improved Speech: Dentures can sometimes slip or move around in your mouth, which can cause slurred speech or difficulty speaking clearly. With dental implants, you don’t have to worry about this problem. Because they are anchored securely into your jawbone, they function just like natural teeth, allowing you to speak clearly and confidently.
In conclusion, dental implants offer numerous advantages over dentures. They provide a natural look and feel, improved comfort, longevity, improved speech, and improved oral health. If you are missing teeth, talk to your dentist about whether dental implants are the right choice for you. With the right care, dental implants can provide you with a beautiful, functional smile that lasts a lifetime.
