1. WHY DENTAL IMPLANTS
A r e B e t t e r T h a n D e n t u r e s

2. For years, dentures have been the
usual replacement for missing teeth.

3. However, as dentistry is evolving
constantly, new techniques are
developed to help patients receive
optimum dental care.

4. One major upgrade in oral health is the use of dental implants.

5. They are a much better tooth replacement option compared
to dentures and offer better results.

6. What Are
Dental Implants?

7. In a nutshell, dental implants are metal posts surgically placed
in your jawbone beneath the gums.

8. After healing, the dentist can then attach a single tooth or set
of dentures to the posts.

9. Dental Implants
Versus Dentures

10. Dentures are removable artificial teeth
set in a gum-colored acrylic base.

11. The upper denture base covers the roof
of your mouth; the lower denture is
shaped like a horseshoe, which allows
space for your tongue.

12. Although their quality has improved,
dentures are not ideal for everyone.

13. If they are not properly secured it with
a denture adhesive, they may slip out
while you eat or talk, which is
embarrassing to say the least!

14. In addition, partial dentures, if not
properly fitted, can promote infection
and decay in the adjacent teeth.

15. This alternative is best if you have
unhealthy, weak gums and jaw.

16. Because implants are fused to your jawbone, your artificial
teeth will have a stable support.

17. When dentures and bridges are mounted on your implant,
they won’t shift or slip in your mouth.

18. This is very important, especially when you eat and talk. Nowadays,
more and more people are choosing dental implants over dentures
for tooth restoration for this reason.

19. • Comfort

20. Dental implants outshine
dentures when you consider
comfort.

21. As mentioned, the latter can
move around when you speak
and eat, causing discomfort
and embarrassment.

22. Wrongly fitted dentures can
also irritate your gums, leading
to sores in your mouth.

23. On top that, they require extra
maintenance, such as the
application of adhesive paste
to secure them …

24. … and they need to be cleaned
regularly in with a special
denture cleanser.

25. With dental implants, you feel like you have natural teeth.
You clean and care for them as you would real teeth.

26. There are no food restrictions - yes, you can eat crunchy foods
with implants once they have healed.

27. You can also speak without fear that your teeth might slip.

28. • Preserve Bone
in the Jaw

29. The most significant advantage
of dental implants over
dentures is how they preserve
the bone in the jaw.

30. Because implants replace the
roots of your teeth, they
stimulate the jawbone, which
helps in keeping its density.

31. You will look younger too, as
they prevent the jawbone from
shrinking, which maintains the
structure of the face.

32. • How Long Will a
Dental Implant Last?

33. The average lifespan of an implant
is 25 years which is far longer
than dentures which require
replacement every 7-15 years.

34. Although the cost may be higher,
implants are considered a long-
term investment in your health.

35. They are worth every penny as
they offers an appearance that
closely resembles natural teeth.

36. In terms of comfort, appearance,
and longevity, dental implants are
a wise choice.
