Here at Georgian Shores Dental Centre, we offer a variety of cosmetic dental services to help you regain your confidence in your teeth, including dental implants. You may be more familiar with dentures, but here are several ways the two differ.
- Level of longevity: Dental implants are a more permanent solution than dentures because they are implanted in the bone. With proper oral care, sufficient bone, and healthy gums, your dental implant may last your entire life without having to remove it repeatedly to clean it.
- Confidence levels: Dentures can help you regain your confidence, but you may run into the issue of slippage at inopportune times. Dental implants will feel and act like normal teeth without any awkward slipping or worries of such incidents.
- What you can eat: While it’s still important to be careful with your dental implants, you can typically enjoy more of the foods you love even with the implants. In contrast, with dentures, you need to avoid certain foods that could get stuck inside the dentures or create issues for them.
It’s important to note that dental implants are not recommended for all patients. We can assess your oral health, medical history, and more to determine whether you might be a candidate for these implants. We can also discuss other options that may be available to you, if they are a better fit to restore your smile. You can give us a call if you would like to learn more.
