Implants vs. Dentures - Canton, MA

Traditional dentures are removable appliances that mimic the look and function of teeth. They rest on your gums and are held in place through suction, adhesives or denture pastes, but can be easily removed to clean and for comfortable sleeping. This tooth replacement option is much more affordable up-front when deciding between dental implants and dentures and are a great option for some. While dentures provide many aesthetic benefits, they offer minimal improved chewing and biting function as well as no stimulation to your jaw bone. Over time, you may need to have your denture stabilized or replaced in order to keep it functional and comfortable as your jaw bone deteriorates due to lack of tooth root stimulation. Many patients are looking for a more permanent solution which is where implant supported dentures come in.
