Ten Reasons to Choose Dental Implants Over Removable Dentures
Glenn Wolfinger of the Pi Dental Implant Center in Pennsylvania has written and published a thoughtful list of reasons why many dental patients suffering from missing or lost teeth might choose dental implants over dentures. The provided list is a good one and might be of special interest to patients in Orlando, Florida, keeping in mind that there are still reasons to consider dentures and/or mini-dental implants.
Dr. Wolfinger’s list includes the following reasons to choose dental implants over dentures:
1) Improved appearance
2) Improved confidence
3) Comfort and convenience
4) Durability
5) Improved eating
6) Improved taste
7) Improved nutrition and health
8 ) Improved speech
9) Reduced chance of loss
10) Bone growth
In his article, he provides more detail about each item on his list.
There are a lot of great reasons to choose dental implants over dentures — but there are also reasons to choose dentures over dental implants. Cost is a major factor — a full set of dental implants could set you back $30,000 or much more (depending on the types of surgical procedures that are required) while dentures will cost considerably less. Plus there is the fact that dental implants do require multiple surgical procedures over a period of months.
Mini-dental implants offer another option that many patients are seriously considering these days. They cost a lot less, and mitigate many of the negatives commonly associated with denture-based solutions and are readily available in the Orlando area from any number of practitioners.
