What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants Over Traditional Dentures?

Missing teeth can impact your confidence, social interactions, and overall quality of life. Dr. Perno and his patient-centered team at Highrise Dental offer tailored denture and implant solutions to restore your smile’s health, function, and beautifully natural appearance. Here’s a closer look at our tooth replacement options and the benefits they offer for your smile.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable oral appliances we design to replace missing teeth, enhancing your smile. We offer full dentures that replace an entire arch of missing teeth and partial dentures that can restore your complete smile when some healthy teeth remain. Today’s modern dentures are lighter, less intrusive, and more natural-looking than those of the past, offering a time-tested solution to restore your smile.

Complete and partial dentures offer numerous benefits. They are the most cost-effective tooth replacement solution. Dentures can be ideal for patients with bone loss and those who do not prefer implant dentistry. You’ll be able to enjoy more of the foods you love, speak more clearly, and smile with confidence once again.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts we place in the jawbone to replace your missing tooth roots. As your mouth heals, the implants integrate with the bone, providing an exceptionally stable and secure foundation for implant restorations meticulously crafted to match your smile. Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, providing unmatched comfort, function, and aesthetics.

At Highrise Dental, we offer a range of dental implant restoration options to meet your unique needs, including the following:

  • Single Tooth Implants: If you have a failing or missing or failing tooth, a dental crown placed on an implant can restore your complete smile. Your new restoration will look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
  • Implant-Supported Bridges: Implant-supported bridges offer an exceptionally stable and functional solution for restoring several missing teeth in a row. Unlike traditional bridges, your new replacement teeth are attached to implants placed on each side of the gap, enhancing your smile’s health and function.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures: Also known as overdentures, implant-supported dentures provide a more secure and aesthetic alternative to traditional dentures. These removable restorations are anchored to several implants, offering stability and function comparable to natural teeth.

Why Choose Dental Implants Over Traditional Dentures?

Implant dentistry offers a permanent solution to restore your smile. The following are some of the advantages of dental implants over traditional dentures:

  • They Offer Unmatched Stability: Dental implants are anchored directly into your jawbone, providing exceptional stability. You won’t have to worry about them slipping or shifting when you’re talking, eating, or laughing as with dentures, especially in the lower arch.
  • They Enhance Your Oral Health: Dental implants mimic the function of your natural tooth roots, unlike dentures that sit on your gums. They are the only restorations that stimulate your jawbone, preventing the bone loss that happens after tooth loss.
  • They Restore Function: Dental implants act like natural teeth, restoring natural function. They allow you to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions as with dentures and enhance the clarity of your speech.
  • Thy Look and Feel Natural: We design your implant restorations to look, feel and function just like your natural teeth. You’ll soon forget you have had missing teeth replaced.
  • They Are Durable: If you take good care of your dental implants, they have the potential to last a lifetime. This is a significant advantage over dentures, which often need to be replaced or adjusted over the years.
