A dental implant is made of a post that is surgically implanted into your jaw bone and then capped with a dental crown. Dentures are a set of artificial teeth that are not permanent and require a lot of extra care.

Dental Implants and Dentures: Factors

There are several factors for patients to consider before making a decision about restorative treatment, such as:

Bone Loss

If you’re missing a tooth or multiple teeth, that gap can actually cause additional bone loss and deterioration in your jawbone. We recommend dental implants over dentures because they are the only option for missing teeth that stimulates the jaw bone which helps stimulate bone growth. This will prevent bone loss.

Facial Appearance

Missing teeth can cause facial sagging. Both dentures and dental implants will help keep the natural shape of your face and lower jaw area. But dental implants look more like natural teeth when compared to dentures. They can also be color-matched to natural teeth.


Dentures cost significantly less than dental implants upfront. But dentures will also need to be replaced, realigned, or rebased over time. This cost can add up depending on the wear and tear. Dental implants cost more but are a permanent solution.

Fit and Comfort

Some dentures require messy adhesive. Also, dentures may be a bit uncomfortable because they may cover a large portion of your mouth with plastic depending on the type of dentures you need. Dentures will deliver about a 30-40% normal chewing function. Dental implants will deliver a perfectly normal chewing function. Oftentimes, dentures may slip around or may not fit correctly leaving you with the worry of falling out.
