Removable dentures may appear to be a simple and quick option for lost or damaged teeth, but implants give a more long-term solution for the majority of patients. While dentures are the most cost-effective solution in the near term, they must be replaced every five years. Add in the fuss and expense of adhesives and denture cleanser, as well as the restricted diet and increased bone loss caused by missing teeth, and you’ll discover that dentures aren’t always the ideal solution.

For many patients, implant-supported dentures are another alternative. These permanent or detachable teeth are attached to two or more implant supports. These not only minimize bone recession and expand your food choices, but they can last 20 years or more with good care!

However, in most cases, we recommend complete arch dental implants. These are attached to four or more zirconium or titanium implants that are placed into your jaw and have the ability to last a lifetime. You take care of them just like your natural teeth, with no dietary limitations or denture adhesives to deal with.
