Both dentures and dental implants have their own merits and drawbacks... Dentures are a more affordable and non-invasive option, while dental implants offer superior stability, longevity, and aesthetics. Dentures are prosthetic teeth made of acrylic resin that are used to replace missing teeth. In some cases of partial dentures, clasps (wires) may be used to provide support from adjacent teeth. Dental implants, however, are artificial tooth roots made of titanium or titanium alloy that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. They serve as a sturdy base for the attachment of replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.  Dentures and implants ultimately serve the same purposes. They: help you chew foods you might otherwise not be able to eat support facial muscles improve speech increase self-esteem and reduce self-consciousness by giving you a nice smile The choice between the two depends on individual circumstances, including oral health, budget, and personal preferences. Consulting with a dental professional will help determine the best solution to restore your smile and improve your overall oral well-being. Remember, the ultimate goal is to regain your confidence and enjoy a healthy, functional smile that suits your needs.
