Choosing between dental implants and dentures to replace your missing teeth is a tough one. Not to worry, your dentists, Dr. Bhavin Patel and Dr. Kevin Carey of Seaview Dental Arts will help you make the right choice between dentures and dental implants in Galloway, NJ.

Permanent Teeth Replacement

If you never want to worry about your missing teeth again, permanent teeth replacement with a dental implant might be your best bet.

Your dentists, Dr. Patel and Dr. Carey will secure the metal root of your dental implants into your jaw. The metal root can last you more than 25 years. You might need to replace the crowns of your dental implants if they get damaged.

On the flip side, dentures are temporary as you can take them out and put them back in at any time.

Your dentures also need replacement 7-10 years after you get them.

Security

How secure are your new teeth?

If you get dentures, you need special glue to keep them in place. Nevertheless, the glue might not be enough to keep your dentures secure throughout the day and they can slip or shift as you eat or talk.

Getting dental implants in Galloway, NJ, saves you the embarrassment of your teeth falling out mid-bite. Your dentist at Seaview Dental Arts surgically implants the root of your dental implant to keep them in place for years.

Food Restrictions

With dentures, eating foods like corn on the cob is out of the question. Your bite won't pack as much force as your natural teeth. Your dentist would typically send you home with a guide on what foods your new teeth can handle.

If you want to maintain your normal diet, dental implants might be right for you. The force of your bite with your dental implants matches that of your natural teeth.

Effect on Your Face

Your teeth contribute more to your physical appearance than you probably realize.

Your jaw bone begins to lose density soon after losing your teeth. Dentures don't stop this bone loss.

Therefore, years with dentures might result in changes in your face structure.

The root of your dental implants in your jaw bone maintains constant stimulation of your jaw bone so that your face stays relatively the same.
