Many people with missing teeth avoid going to the dentist because they don’t want to be faced with the proposition of getting dentures. Through modern dental technology, though, Dr. Garo and his team at Tarzana Dentistry have made dental restorations easier, more secure, and more natural looking than ever before, even when you’re deciding between dental implants vs. dentures.
Dental implants are strong, secure tooth replacements. They fill in the hole left by a missing tooth or teeth. Surgically placed in the gum, the implant and jawbone bond together for a permanent solution that is topped by prosthetic teeth.
It’s easy to forget about dental implants. Once in place and fully healed, they feel completely natural and act and look that way too. The replacement of the tooth plus its root stimulates the jawbone and helps the face maintain its shape without any of the negative side effects that can come from tooth loss like a compromised face shape. Dental implants are available as All-On-4 implants, denture implants, full-mouth dental implants, and implants for a single tooth, multiple teeth, and all teeth.
Understandably, most patients do not want dentures. They are reluctant to have any appliance in their mouth that could backfire on them at any time. Here’s the reality: Modern dentures work much better than your grandparents’ dentures. The technology and design of these repairs have improved tremendously, making them far easier to live with and simpler to eat and speak. There are two basic types of dentures:
Patients who are particularly against the idea of dentures and all that comes with them – potential instability, unreliable adhesives, a covered palate – often find themselves interested in the idea of denture implants. Here is how this powerful combo of dental implants vs. dentures works together:
This restoration is appropriate for anyone missing several teeth in one area of the mouth or an entire arch of teeth. It’s a permanent solution that does not require adhesives or the covering of the palate and does not interrupt taste or sensation. Denture implants are ideal for patients who have struggled with dentures.
At Tarzana Dentistry, our goal is to match each patient to the tooth replacement treatment that is most effective for them so they will feel confident and comfortable. If you are living with many missing teeth, it’s time to learn more about dentures and dental implants to find out what type of restoration is right for you.
