Dental Implants vs Dentures - Arkansas Periodontal & Implant Associates

There Are Many Advantages of Dental Implants Over Traditional Dentures

Greater Comfort and Quality of Life

Many patients who initially opted for removable dentures have switched to dental implants with positive results. Implants feel and respond like natural teeth, allowing for more natural eating and eliminating embarrassing moments when dentures may have slipped or clicked.

Getting Dentures in Arkansas

Many patients with removable dentures end up switching over to dental implants for several reasons. Dental implants look and function just like your real teeth and do not have many of the complications associated with dentures. You can improve your quality of life and feel more confident when you smile with dental implants from Dr. Pierce Osborne, Dr. Michael Curry, and Dr. Wes Shelton.

Bone Loss and Missing Teeth

Your teeth are important to your oral health so when you lose a tooth, you increase the risk of several oral health problems and jaw bone loss. When there is no tooth structure to stimulate the jaw bone, it may begin to deteriorate. Since dental implants are fused directly into the jaw bone, they work to stimulate the jaw just like your real teeth.

Implant dentistry boasts a high success rate and continues to be a viable solution for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants can prevent jaw bone loss because they are fused directly into the bone. They are also resistant to tooth decay and will not shift or move around like dentures, which is often uncomfortable for the wearer.
