Dental implants vs dentures

Dental Implants or Removable Dentures. Dental Implants as well as being more cosmetically appealing than removable dentures, dental implants are also healthier. Here are 5 health reasons to choose dental implants instead of dentures. 1. Save the Bone: Fact is that wearing removable dentures bone loss will occur. Over time the removable dentures will not fit as snug and will become very difficult to keep in the mouth. A dental Implant with a crown will be the best replacement for ones natural teeth. Since they are like natural teeth Dental Implants with Crowns have shown to aid in bone growth.

2. Improved Digestion: Removable Dentures are much less efficient for chewing food than one’s natural teeth. Removable dentures are 75% less efficient in chewing food making the digestive process a bit more difficult. On the other hand Dental Implants with Crown and Bridge Work are only about 20% less efficient than natural teeth. With a dental implant crown you will be able to chew your food more efficiently than with removable dentures thus improving your digestion.

3. Healthier Diet: Removable Denture wearers have difficulty eating certain foods. Hard to chew foods such as apples, nuts, steaks and carrots as well as soft foods such as tomatoes, soft bread and lettuce pose a problem for denture wearers. This results in poorer nutrition than individuals with dental implants.

4. Enjoy your Food: A key to healthy eating is enjoying your food. To enjoy your food you must be able to taste it. Since a full upper denture covers the palate, food becomes much more difficult to taste. With a dental implant and crown the palate does not get covered so the person can taste and enjoy their food.

5. Speaking Out: Removable Dentures can slip while you are speaking this can cause speech to become slurred and garbled. Removable Denture wearers will sometimes shy away from conversations because of this and become very self-conscious. A person with Dental Implants can speak freely and confidently since the teeth will not move.
