als-story-photo-1Thanks to technology, we have multiple options for many of life’s biggest decisions here in Temecula, CA. Finding a solution for missing teeth is no different. Do you choose dentures like 90 percent of the endentulous population, or do you go with dental implants and their 98% success rate? To determine which option is right for you, it’s important to look at the benefits and drawbacks of each.

Pros and Cons of Dentures

For many adults, dentures may seem like the best option for replacing missing in Temecula, CA. After all, they have several benefits, such as helping you have a beautiful smile and chew most of the foods you enjoy. Neither would be possible with missing teeth. Dentures are also fairly affordable.

Traditional dentures do come with some drawbacks, however. They need to be replaced every three to five years, don’t stimulate the bone in your mouth (which can lead to bone loss) and can be inconvenient to maintain. Overall, dentures are an affordable missing teeth solution for people in Temecula, CA, but they aren’t a permanent one (like dental implants).

Pros and Cons of Dental Implants

Dental implants are usually more expensive than dentures, but they have several advantages over them that pay dividends over the course of your lifetime. Here are some of the benefits of dental implants:

• They have a comfortable and stable fit
• You can eat whatever at what you want
• Many people look up noticeable younger after receiving them
• There’s no need to replace them with regular dental visits
• They stimulate the bone in your mouth and help prevent bone loss
• You save more time and money in the long run

If you’re missing most or all of your teeth, an even better solution is the long-lasting, cost-effective All-on-4 dental implant treatment. All-on-4 restores the look and function of your entire set of natural teeth in just one day.

Choosing Dental Implants or Dentures in Temecula, CA
