Since your missing teeth are in the back of your mouth, you\u2019ve waited to replace them, but not because you don\u2019t want to. The truth is, you have questions on dentures and dental implants and you\u2019re not sure where to start to determine which option is right for you.<\/p>\n<h2><!--more-->Dentures &amp; Dental Implants In Tulsa<\/h2>\n<p>Before we dive into the benefits of each type of replacement tooth, lets define what each option is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Dentures<\/u> \u2013 Made of cast metal, acrylic, a flesh-colored plastic base, and porcelain dentitions, denture are the most traditional choice for artificial teeth. Partial dentures can be used to replace one or more missing pearly whites, while a full set can substitute an entire arch.<\/li>\n<li><u>Dental Implants<\/u> \u2013 These are made of three components:\n<ol>\n<li><u>Implant Post<\/u> \u2013 This is the titanium post that is surgically placed in jaw and will fuse with the bone to become the secure foundation for the other two parts.<\/li>\n<li><u>Abutment <\/u>\u2013 This is the connecting piece that links the post to the part of the replacement tooth that looks just like your natural smile.<\/li>\n<li><u>Dental Crown <\/u>\u2013 This is the tooth-shaped cap that is affixed on top of the abutment. Generally made of porcelain, this is the only part of the implant you\u2019ll see when you smile.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li><u>Implant-Supported Dentures<\/u> \u2013 As a way to combine the full replacement of dentures with the security and stationary aspect of dental implants, these are dentures that snap in to implant posts that have been placed in your jaw, or are fixed in an immovable position in your mouth. These are used to replace several missing dentitions in a row or up to an entire row of teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Are The Advantages Of Dentures?<\/h2>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve defined what dentures are, let\u2019s talk about why these are a great choice to restore your smile:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Time<\/u> \u2013 Dentures take significantly less time to craft for you. In some instances, these can even be made in a week or less.<\/li>\n<li><u>Up-Front Cost<\/u> \u2013 If you\u2019re considering the short-term cost, dentures are less expensive than dental implants, initially, and they generally need to be replaced about every 5 years or so.<\/li>\n<li><u>Recent Innovations<\/u> \u2013 Modern materials and techniques mean that dentures are stronger and fit more comfortably than ever before.<\/li>\n<li><u>No Need For Surgery <\/u>\u2013 Since dentures fit on top of your jaw, there is usually no need for oral surgery. Typically, patients can expect to undergo tooth extraction as the most invasive part of the process.<\/li>\n<li><u>Insurance Coverage<\/u> \u2013 Most insurance companies will provide more benefits for dentures than dental implants, since these are seen as a necessary (rather than elective) procedure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Are The Advantages Of Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons that dental implants and implant-supported dentures are an ideal solution, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Long-Term Cost<\/u> \u2013 Since <a href=\"http:\/\/aaid-implant.org\/about-dental-implants\/what-are-the-benefits-of-dental-implants-over-other-treatments\/\">dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care,<\/a> these actually end up costing less than dentures over the course of time.<\/li>\n<li><u>Stay In Place Smile<\/u> \u2013 Dental implants aren\u2019t removable and won\u2019t wiggle when you speak, chew, or even kiss your sweetheart.<\/li>\n<li><u>No Adjustment Time<\/u> \u2013 Unlike dentures that require time for patients to get used to the fit, dental implants are so life-like, you\u2019ll have no need to adjust to them or how they work.<\/li>\n<li><u>Insurance Options<\/u> \u2013 Many insurance companies will provide coverage for the dental crown portion of the implant, and there are inexpensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiritdental.com\/dental-insurance\/spirit-dental-advantages\/implants-and-major-services\">dental implant policies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><u>Jaw Strength<\/u> \u2013 Rather than wearing away the ridges of your jaw each time you chew, dental implants actually increase bone density and strengthen your natural structures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both dentures and dental implants offer great benefits \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glistendental.com\/request-an-appointment.html\">schedule your appointment<\/a> with Glisten Dental or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glistendental.com\/contact.html\">give us a call<\/a> if you have questions about restoring your winning smile!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although you\u2019re a bit embarrassed to admit it, there are some blank spots in your smile.
