Dentures Compared to Dental Implants

Tooth loss can make it difficult for you to eat, talk and smile. Our expert in dentures in Santa Clara can replace your lost teeth using restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth. This restores not only your oral comfort and function but in many cases your oral health as well.

Dentures

Dentures are a type of removable restoration that can be placed immediately after your teeth have been extracted. They can be made to match your smile or can even make your teeth look better than they did. The prosthetic teeth are attached to a comfortable base that uses suction to attach to your gums. Well-fitting dentures can be quite comfortable. They are also cost-effective and easy to use, which is why many people choose them.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent restoration. They fit inside the jawbone and become incorporated into the bone tissue. Once this fusing process is done, the implants can be restored with your choice of restoration, such as crowns, bridges or dentures. Implants are designed to last a lifetime and offer a strong, stable, comfortable restoration. You can clean them and use them just like you would your own teeth.
