When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants and dentures are two of the most common solutions. At Timberridge Dental, we help patients choose the best option for their oral health and lifestyle.
Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to support replacement teeth. They function like natural teeth and offer long-term benefits.
Advantages:
- Long-lasting and durable
- Prevents bone loss and preserves facial structure
- Feels and functions like natural teeth
Disadvantages:
- Requires a surgical procedure
- Higher initial cost than dentures
Dentures: A Traditional Option
Dentures are removable prosthetics that replace missing teeth and restore function.
Advantages:
- More affordable upfront cost
- Non-invasive option
- Suitable for patients with bone loss
Disadvantages:
- Can feel uncomfortable or loose over time
- Requires adjustments and replacements
- Does not prevent bone deterioration
Making the Right Choice
Choosing between dental implants and dentures depends on factors such as budget, bone health, and lifestyle. Timberridge Dental offers consultations to help patients make an informed decision based on their unique needs.
