1 Understanding the Difference

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, you have two main options. Here's a side-by-side comparison to help you decide:

Dentures

  • Removable

    Must be taken out daily for cleaning

  • Lower Upfront Cost

    Initially cheaper but needs replacement

  • Less Stability

    Can slip or click when eating/talking

  • Bone Loss Over Time

    Jawbone deteriorates without stimulation

RECOMMENDED

Dental Implants

  • Permanent Solution

    Fixed in place, never need to remove

  • Look & Feel Natural

    Indistinguishable from real teeth

  • Preserve Jawbone

    Stimulates bone growth, prevents loss

  • Long-Lasting Investment

    Can last 25+ years with proper care
