1. The Benefits of Dental Implants
vs Dentures

2. Introduction
Most people who lost teeth and look for ways to replace
them will arrive at the same final choice: dentures vs dental
implants.
Too often, because they offer a cheaper alternative,
dentures will win the battle, but are they really the best
solution?
In this presentation, we will see the differences between
dentures and implants, and determine what's the most
appropriate choice for your specific needs.

3. What Are They?
Before we start our comparison, let's see exactly what
dentures and dental implants represent.
Dentures consist, basically, in
removable false teeth that will stay in place
by using a fixative paste or some
wafers.
Contrary to dentures, implants will
mimick the natural position of teeth by
being anchored into the bone with
titanium roots.

4. Comfort
One of the most important factors when dealing with new
teeth is the level of comfort you'll be able to achieve with
them. The problem with dentures is that, even though
they can be glued with paste, they often slip and can't
remain in place. This can lead to heavy discomfort and
even cause irritation and bleeding of the gum.
With dental implants, as they're fixed right into the jawbone,
they will never budge and make you feel as if they were
your real teeth.

5. Maintenance
When dealing with maintenance, as this can quickly
become a chore, we want to keep it at a minimum. So
how do our 2 options fare in this area?
Dentures require a lot of upkeep. You
have to take them out regularly to
clean them up and remove any food
that might have gotten stuck.
Implants, on the other hand, do not
necessitate any particular care. Just
brush them and floss like you would
natural teeth.

6. Cost
Of all the criteria we analyzed here, this could very well be
the only factor in favor of dentures: their price.
Compared to expensive implants, dentures might seem like
the only option for people without much means. If you
really can't afford the better alternative, though, there
exists a middle ground: denture implants.
With denture implants, you will be able to
attach your dentures to titanium implants.
Thus, you will pay less, while also benefiting
from the firmness of implants.

7. Durability
If we've already established that implants represent the
more reliable of our two options, what about their
durability?
The problem with dentures is that we will
have to take them off daily to clean them.
All this manipulating, as well as leaving
the dentures out for some time, will cause
wear and tear that will eventually lead to
their replacement.
Implants stay in place, firmly attached.
So, they generally last a lifetime.

8. More Benefits
Want to learn even more pro's in favor of implants?
Contrary to dentures, dental implants will:
• Improve your speech by eliminating the ability of
your teeth to slip
• Make it easier for you to eat
• Preserve the jawbone and avoid gum shrinkage
• Cause no allergy as implants are made of titanium
(and not acrylic like dentures)

9. Conclusion
Apart from their price, dentures do not present any real
benefit to the patient over implants. Not only do they
create discomfort and can lead to embarassing
situations, they're just a poor option to replace your
missing teeth.
