What Are My Denture Alternatives?

The question often arises as to what the best denture alternatives might be. This is simply the case because dentures are usually less desirable since they are easily noticed as being dentures. Dentures can create a sunken face appearance causing one to look older than they actually are. That said one benefit of dentures is that they are removable and easy to maintain. A popular alternative to dentures is something known as all-on-four dental implants. This is the procedure that is often used because it requires fewer dental implants than if each missing tooth had an implant and a crown.

More Beautiful Smile and Greatly Improved Functionality

All-on-four dental implants only require four implants as a way to support a full arch of teeth. Best of all, this procedure can result in a teeth replacement solution that will last a lifetime. A more beautiful smile and greatly improve functionality makes this a smart choice. The process typically involves removing any remaining natural teeth and beginning the process of placing dental implants in strategic locations. Finally, once an arch has been fabricated it is placed resulting in a more permanent and attractive smile.

Excellent Solution for Replacing Missing Teeth

While all-on-four dental implants is often an excellent choice for replacing teeth, there are some cases where a better option is to simply replace each individual missing tooth with a dental implant and crown. One of the best ways to know for sure which method will best suit your dental needs is to meet with your dental care provider to discuss all options. Dental implants are known to be an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth because they fuse with the patient’s bone and are extremely strong and permanent in nature.
