Like most dentists, I consider dental implants the gold standard in tooth replacement. Implants are synonymous with longevity and function. They are most like natural teeth and require no additional maintenance.
Of course, dentures are a time-tested solution and may be the more practical option if you are on a tight budget.
Yes, dental implants have a higher up-front cost, but this often washes out in the end because they can last a lifetime with proper care. Typically, dentures need to be replaced periodically.
For a long-term solution that requires no fuss or hassle, dental implants are the way to go.
Dental Implant Options in Greeley, CO
Dental implant options include:
- Single Dental Implants
- Implant-Supported Bridges
- Implant-Supported Dentures
A single dental implant is a tooth root replacement topped with a custom dental crown. An implant-supported bridge is a few teeth secured to the jaw with a dental implant post. An implant-supported denture means using up to six implants per arch to secure a full denture.
Denture Options in Greeley, CO
Dentures may be:
- Complete: A complete denture is a full arch of custom replacement teeth on a gum-colored arch. The prosthetic fits over your natural gum and relies on gravity and suction for support.
- Partial: A partial denture is a custom replacement teeth that fit around your remaining teeth. I use clips to help stabilize the prosthetic.
