Advantages Of Full-arch Dental Implants Vs. Dentures

Are all your teeth missing? Both the upper and lower jaw? Worry no more, there are quite a few options for you at our clinic in Edina, Minnesota. 

More and more patients are getting interested in knowing their best teeth alternatives. Whether they would go for dentures or full-arch dental implants. To better understand the various options that will work best for you, here are some important points to know.

CONVENIENCE VS PRICE

Maintaining conventional dentures is labor-intensive. You must keep them clean and remove them every night, and you should set aside a budget for denture creams. In addition to that, because of increasing bone loss, your jaw will alter in shape over the course of around 5 to 10 years, necessitating the replacement of your dentures.

Full-arch dental implants, on the other hand, are anchored in your mouth permanently. No need to worry about removing them every night or buying denture creams. You’ll be more comfortable, as dental implants function and look like your natural teeth. Furthermore, you can go to bed as usual and sleep comfortably!

BONE LOSS

Your jaw and gums start losing bone density the moment you lose a tooth. This eventually alters the appearance of your gum line and jaw. Have you noticed people without teeth, they have sunken cheeks and lips appearance? Bone loss might be one of the possible causes.

Full-mouth dental implants can reduce bone loss, whereas conventional dentures cannot. The implants are surgically inserted into your jawbone, where they can support ongoing bone health. Thus, maintaining a broader, more natural jawline. This actually benefits your body in more ways than one. It also boosts your confidence and your smile. Many patients are astounded by how much younger they appear following the placement of their full-arch dental implants.

Dental implants might be pricey at first but in the long run, implants turned out to be cost-effective. With dentures, you need to continually care for them and are more prone to breakage and being misplaced. Also keep in mind that with dentures, bone loss is inevitable. To improve your bone density, you might need to undergo bone grafting.

Take note that, there are some medical or dental insurances that will cover a portion of your dental implant surgery. Additionally, you could agree on a finance plan with your dental specialist that fits your budget. In this manner, you can enjoy all the advantages of dental implants without stressing over the up-front costs.
