Young People With Dentures Should Not Feel Embarrassed

When you think of dentures, your brain might naturally think about elderly individuals in cartoons or other television shows. Tooth loss and replacement teeth are more common in older adults – but that doesn’t mean younger people don’t experience the same problems.

Tooth loss can affect anyone, and over 2% of the population over the age of 20 have no remaining teeth. That might not sound like a lot, but that’s millions of people, including younger adults, who need replacement teeth to restore the structure and function of their mouths.

If you’re a young person who might need full or partial dentures, you shouldn’t feel embarrassed. Here are some of the benefits of wearing dentures, as well as what you can expect during your visit to get them.

What Are the Benefits of Wearing Dentures?

Wearing dentures is no big deal, and there are plenty of reasons why they are highly beneficial for people who are missing teeth.

They Let You Eat, Drink, and Talk Normally

Wearing dentures might feel uncomfortable, but it’s probably not as uncomfortable as having missing teeth. Not only can missing teeth affect the way you speak, but it can make it harder to chew, drink, and do other activities.

Dentures replace missing gaps or even full sets of teeth, so you can get back to a more normal life. And if you happen to feel like they’re making it a bit more uncomfortable to eat certain foods, you can just take them out with ease.

No One Will Know You’re Wearing Them

You don’t need to be ashamed if someone finds out you are missing some teeth, but if you’re trying to remain fully confident with your smile, you don’t need to tell anybody that you’re wearing dentures. This is especially useful because dentures look like real teeth, and unless you tell people you’re wearing them, they’ll never actually know you have them in.

The only time that someone would know that you have dentures is if they see you remove them and place them back. And sometimes, conventional dentures can slip and slide around in your mouth. Anchored dentures from Renew can give you the security and peace of mind that your dentures will fit securely, so no one will know you’re even wearing them.

They Can Even Look Even Better Than Real Teeth

Another benefit of dentures is that they can look even better than actual teeth in many scenarios. This is because dentures are made out of materials that are more stain-resistant than your real teeth, so they’ll likely stay nice and white for longer.

Also, the teeth in dentures are straight and aligned perfectly. And since they are artificial, you don’t need to worry about them shifting like real teeth do. This means your smile is here to stay for longer.

What Should You Expect From a Dentures Consultation?

It can be nerve-wracking to go to your first appointment to get dentures. So let’s walk through what you can expect from the moment you walk in the door.

Consultation

At your free, no-obligation consultation, you’ll receive a 3D CAT Scan so the doctor can make a diagnosis. If you’re a candidate, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan and we’ll review costs and financing options.

Pre-surgical Exam

Next, you’ll have a comprehensive exam prior to surgery where your health history will be reviewed. Then impressions of your teeth will be taken and we will review the procedure in detail so you know what to expect and answer any questions you may have.

Surgery

Then comes the life changing experience. Your Renew surgery only takes one day to complete. Using digital surgical guides, we’ll precisely place your implants and secure your new teeth. 

With Renw’s SureSNAP System, your dentures are simply clicked into place on the implants, so you don’t need to worry about slipping and sliding.

Post-operative check-ups will be recommended to ensure that your dentures fit well and that any surgeries have healed up properly. We’ll be with you through every step of this journey.

In Conclusion

Although dentures and missing teeth are more common in older adults, there are still plenty of younger people who need to get their teeth replaced to restore their quality of life. And considering that dentures often look better than real teeth, are unnoticeable, and can make it easier to chew and talk, there’s nothing to be ashamed of.

With Renew’s SureSNAP System, you can have the confidence that your dentures are fixed when you want them and are easy to remove when you want them out. It’s the flexibility of conventional dentures with the security of implants all combined into one.

Schedule your consultation today to see how this new system can Renew your smile.

Veneers vs. Dentures: Which To Choose?

Your smile is an important part of your look and personality, but it can be difficult to feel confident in a smile if life hasn’t been kind to your teeth. Everyone deserves a $100 million smile that shows people who they really are and gives them confidence. 

If you’re looking to brighten up your smile and make a big difference in the look of your teeth, you might be considering veneers or dentures. It’s a big choice to make, and weighing the pros and cons of each option can be a tough process. 

But we’re here to help. In this article, we’re going to go through all of the details about veneers and dentures so you can find out what the best option for you is. A beautiful smile is right around the corner.

What Are Veneers?

Let’s start with veneers. Simply put, veneers are coverings, usually made of porcelain, that are used to recreate the natural look of a tooth while also providing strength comparable to regular tooth enamel. 

Essentially, veneers are tiny coverings or shells that your dentist will cement to your teeth. They look like teeth and feel like teeth, and you even care for them like regular teeth. 

But you should know that veneers aren’t a solution for missing teeth — they can only bind to teeth that are already there. They generally work best for people with gaps between teeth, broken teeth, irregularly shaped teeth, or teeth that are severely worn down.

Are There Different Types of Veneers?

There are two main types of veneers. They both serve the same purpose, but they function a little differently, last different amounts of time, and have different price points. 

The first type is the type we already mentioned: porcelain. Porcelain veneers are like shells that fit over each individual tooth. They look just like regular teeth, your gums stay intact, and you care for them just as you would regular teeth: with proper brushing and flossing. 

One particular advantage of porcelain as a material is that it’s resistant to stains. In other words, your veneers will stay pretty for years to come. 

The other type of veneer is composite resin. This type of veneer isn’t a shell that goes over the tooth like a porcelain veneer. Instead, this resin is shaped and bonded to the tooth. They can fill holes in your teeth or restore broken pieces well. 

Composite resin isn’t quite as strong as porcelain, but they are easy to repair and a bit cheaper. For many people, composite resin veneers are the more affordable option.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures offer an entirely different approach to improving your beautiful smile. Dentures offer a full replacement of teeth, so if you’re missing several teeth, you may consider dentures to give you the confident smile you deserve. 

Dentures are removable mouthpieces that are placed over the gums to replace missing teeth. These prosthetic teeth are typically made with acrylic, metal, or flexible nylon.

Are There Different Types of Dentures?

There are a lot of different types of dentures that are suited for different people with different needs. The first type is the partial denture. A partial denture is exactly what it sounds like: a piece of denture that only replaces some, but not all, of your teeth. 

This option is best for people who are missing some teeth but still have other teeth in good condition. They’re removable plates that have teeth attached to them, and the teeth don’t even need to be next to each other for partial dentures to work. You can replace the front, the back, or a mixture of the two.

They sit neatly in your teeth and complete your smile with a full set of teeth. One downside to this type is that you’ll have to get your dentures adjusted every so often because your real teeth may shift naturally. 

Also, if you’re only missing a couple of teeth, you may want to opt for another option, such as a dental bridge, which can replace up to two teeth next to each other. 

Next, we have the full denture. As the name implies, a full denture is a full set of teeth. This denture is for people who are completely toothless. Each arch contains 12 to 14 teeth, depending on the shape of your mouth. 

All types of dentures are important health treatments for people with missing teeth. They help with speaking, eating, and smiling so you can enjoy the quality of life you deserve.

What Are Anchored Dentures?

One newer type of denture at the forefront of dental technology is the anchored denture. This type of denture aims to fill in some of the gaps that regular dentures leave behind. 

Regular dentures have a few weaknesses. For starters, they can often come loose and wobble around in your mouth, making it difficult for some to eat and speak while the dentures are in. They rely on adhesives and suction to keep them in. Secondly, because you’re missing all of your teeth and have no teeth roots, your face shape may change after you lose your teeth because bone strength may get weaker due to the lack of teeth. 

Anchored dentures hope to fix all that. Anchored dentures, also called implant-supported dentures, utilize dental implants to stabilize the dentures in place while you’re wearing them. And with Renew, you can snap your teeth in, eat a bagel, snap them out, clean them, and snap them back in again.

A New Way To Do Teeth With Renew

The best smile solution for you depends on your situation. If you simply have a few broken or misshapen teeth, veneers may be a good solution to repair your smile easily. 

And if you’re missing most or all of your teeth, Renew anchored dentures might be the right choice. Renew’s fixed-removable dental solution functions similarly to real teeth thanks to advanced dental implant technology. You are able to remove the teeth for extra cleaning or simply brush them like you would your normal teeth. Renew exists to make beautiful teeth accessible to all — if you’re suffering with missing and failing teeth and are ready for a set of stronger teeth, we’re ready to help.

Types of Dentures Explained and What Is Best for You

Happy senior old family couple clients make financial insurance estate business deal handshake agent lawyer, satisfied mature customers shake hand meeting bank manager agree on investment contract

So you’re missing teeth and are looking for solutions to give you a full and complete smile. Well, lucky for you, you’ve stumbled on exactly the right article. 

Dentures are one of the best solutions for tooth replacement, especially if you need a full set of prosthetic teeth, but there are several different types of dentures. That begs the question: which type of dentures is best for you?

Today, we’re going to answer that question. We’ll dive into the nitty gritty and explain the details of each type of denture so you can find out which one is best for you and your unique needs. Let’s take the first step toward your new teeth.

1. Partial Dentures

The first type to explore is partial dentures. As the name implies, partial dentures are only intended to replace part of your full set of teeth, not all of them. If you’re missing several teeth, but you still have most of your natural teeth remaining, a partial denture might be all that you need to get your perfect smile. 

Like most dentures, partial dentures are typically made from acrylic resin. This material allows them to be adjusted relatively easily while still having the strength they need to chew.

How They Attach

Partial dentures differ from full dentures in how they attach to your mouth. They still have a gum-colored base, but the base does not adhere to the gums with suction or adhesive. 

Instead, they will typically attach to your natural teeth with a metal framework. This framework extends off the partial denture and is molded to fit into your natural teeth. You simply clip your denture onto your existing teeth to create a full smile. 

Some partial dentures are meant to be removed every day for cleaning. Others are permanently installed into your mouth to give you a similar experience to having natural teeth.

2. Full Dentures 

Full dentures, also called complete dentures, are a full set of replacement teeth. This method is meant for people who have little or no teeth left. If you have a few teeth remaining, they are extracted to make room for the denture to be placed on top of your gums. 

Full dentures are removable, and rely on your gums and adhesives for suction but have the risk of slipping and sliding or falling out of the mouth while talking.

How Full Dentures Attach

Most of the time, full dentures fit to your gums, so a little bit of suction will secure the dentures to your gums. You may also need to secure your dentures with denture adhesive, which can be uncomfortable. 

Although they can help you smile and chew fairly normally, there are a few downsides to this type of denture. Most obviously, there’s the issue of your dentures moving around on you. Nobody wants the embarrassing experience of your dentures falling out while talking or eating. 

Second, there’s the issue of your health. Natural teeth place pressure on the muscles in your face and the jaw bone. This pressure helps to keep them strong and healthy. Without that pressure, these muscles and bones can atrophy, potentially leading to jaw bone loss or jaw bone atrophy. 

Jaw bone loss can be uncomfortable and even painful. It can lead to your face sinking and changing, and it can also increase your risk of developing gum disease. Traditional dentures don’t do anything to help prevent or remedy this.

3. Permanent Dentures

Next up, we have permanent dentures. This type of denture is anchored permanently onto your gums through dental implants. These implants are like screws installed into your gums and anchor to the bones of your jaw and mandible. 

This effectively resolves the problems with traditional dentures. You don’t have to worry about your dentures moving around, and the dental implants also help provide the necessary pressure to your face muscles and jawbone.

The Problems With Permanent Dentures

As good as they are at serving as prosthetic teeth and remedying the problems with traditional dentures, permanent dentures have some problems of their own. 

For starters, there is the issue of personal hygiene. Permanent dentures are quite difficult to keep clean. In all likelihood, you’ll get some food and debris stuck underneath your dentures. 

This can certainly be uncomfortable and annoying, but it can also lead to bad breath that just won’t go away. You may brush and brush but still have bad breath — it can be difficult to remove and manage. 

But this can also be a risk to your health. Having debris under your dentures can lead to bacterial growth, which, if unchecked, can increase your risk of developing gum disease. To counter this, you need to have your dentures professionally removed and cleaned annually, but this doesn’t remove the risks.

So although permanent dentures offer some solutions, they also present some new problems that can be inconvenient and risky.

4. Anchored Dentures

This last type of denture is a big technological innovation that has come about in recent years. Anchored dentures, or implant-supported dentures, are a hybrid between permanent and traditional dentures. 

They offer you a full set of prosthetic teeth that snap securely in place but are easily removable at the end of the day. It does this with the power of dental implants and SureSNAP technology. 

Essentially, you still get dental implants, similar to permanent dentures, but anchored dentures can easily snap on and off of the implants instead of remaining anchored to them permanently. 

This means that while your dentures are in, they securely fit onto your gums, and you don’t have to worry about them moving around. But at the same time, you can remove your dentures for daily cleaning without a problem.

The Best of Both Worlds

This takes the best parts of each option and puts them together to make high-quality, convenient, healthy dentures. 

Notably, because of the use of dental implants, anchored dentures still help to reduce the risk of jaw bone loss. But it doesn’t sacrifice your health. You don’t have to worry about food getting stuck underneath your dentures, and you can rest assured knowing that your dentures aren’t going to increase your risk of gum disease.

The Right Denture for You

Now, let’s talk about you and your smile. At the end of the day, everybody has a unique mouth with unique needs. If you are only missing a few of your teeth and still have plenty of healthy, natural teeth that populate your mouth, there are options to help you replace your missing teeth. 

But if you, like many other people, need a full set of replacement teeth, anchored dentures may be a convenient and effective option. They are the latest innovative technology since the denture itself. They help keep you healthy, help you to chew up your food to restore your nutrition, and, most importantly, help you put on a beautiful smile.

Should I Get Dentures or Dental Implants?

Cropped shot of an unrecognizable female doctor writing on a clipboard while working in her office

Dentures and dental implants are two of the most common ways to restore the structure and function of your teeth. And while both have their own set of benefits and drawbacks, one option may be better suited to your specific situation.

Here is information you need to know about dentures and implants, as well as when one might make more sense for you than the other.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. There are two types: complete and partial, with the former replacing all of your teeth and partial only replacing some of your teeth.

There are also two main types of complete dentures: conventional and immediate. Conventional dentures are made with a mold of the teeth and can be placed in the mouth about eight to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed. In contrast, immediate dentures are made in advance so they can be placed right away. These dentures are only a temporary solution until conventional dentures can be made.

Most dentures are made with a model of your jaw so it’s  intended to fit perfectly within your mouth. While a new set of dentures will likely feel odd, you typically get the hang of it after a few weeks. Immediate dentures may never truly fit as you want, and they are just a temporary fix until your dentures are finished and ready for placement.

Who Should Wear Dentures?

Dentures can be for anyone who needs teeth replacement, but they are especially useful for people who are looking for a removable alternative. Dentures can be easily taken out whenever you want, which makes them a flexible option that helps with the aesthetics and function of your mouth.

Dentures are also low maintenance and work for almost everyone. With implants, you need to have a jawbone that is strong enough to support them. But since dentures just adhere to your gums, they are a very accessible option.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small posts placed into the jaw as a substitute for real teeth. These implants are usually made of sturdy titanium, which connects to the replacement tooth. A crown is then placed over the top to replicate the appearance of real teeth.

With implants, if your jawbone isn’t thick enough to support them, you might need to get a bone graft. From there, the implant is placed directly into your jawbone through the gum line. You then need to wait for a few months until the bone grows around the post in a process known as osseointegration.

Once this process is complete, the abutment (replacement tooth) can be placed over the implant.

Who Should Get Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent solution to lost teeth, which makes them a great option for people who want solutions to missing teeth without needing to worry about much aftercare. While they still need to be brushed like real teeth, they are long lasting.

Additionally, dental implants fit in the mouth better than dentures, and there’s no risk of them slipping and sliding around. As long as you are able to wait for the extensive healing process as your mouth heals, dental implants are a great option.

How Do Dentures and Implants Measure Up?

Neither dentures or implants are necessarily better than the other – they each have their own advantages and drawbacks that might be more suitable for specific situations. 

In general, dentures can be effective for people who want a temporary option with more flexibility and less of a recovery period. Implants are a generally effective option for people who want a permanent, sturdy solution despite a long recovery process after the implants are placed.

Getting the Best of Both Worlds

If you want the accessibility and comfort of dentures combined with the security and durability of implants, then anchored dentures can help you get the best of both. And the Renew Journey can help you get the smile of your life.

Anchored dentures are removable like conventional dentures but stay in place like implants, so you don’t need to worry about them slipping and sliding. And Renew is the only provider of the SureSNAP Stabilization System, a unique system that keeps dentures stable and secure. And Renew is the only 100% digital, removable anchored denture solution that can be performed in a one day procedure. Regain, rejuvenate, and renew your smile with confidence.

Get started with a free consultation today to see if this comprehensive treatment is right for you.

In Conclusion

Dentures and implants are great remedies to help restore the structure and function of your teeth. Dentures are temporary and can be removed. And while they sometimes slip and slide around, they are more accessible because they do not require you to have a strong jaw to support them.

Implants, on the other hand, require a healing process and a strong jawbone to support the titanium posts. However, these are permanent solutions that have the potential to last forever with proper care.

Both are great options depending on your situation, but what if you could get the best of both? Anchored dentures from Renew let you get the security of implants with the freedom of dentures all under a proprietary system that will prevent your dentures from sliding around.

Dentures are one of the best ways to replace missing teeth to restore the structure and function of your mouth. They’re removable, not as complex to implement compared to implants, and they can make your smile look better than ever.

But there are many different types of dentures at your disposal, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks that are unique to each situation. Let’s take a look at some of the different types of replacement dentures so you can have a better idea of which one might be right for you.

What Different Types of Dentures Are Available?

When you think of dentures, you probably think of a set of teeth that can be put in and out of your mouth at your disposal. And while that’s sort of the case, there’s a lot more to it than that. Here are the different types of dentures for replacement teeth.

Full Dentures

Full dentures, also called complete dentures, are removable devices that replace both your top and bottom teeth. Essentially, this is a dental piece that replaces all of your teeth and restores the function of your entire mouth and jaw.

The upper and lower teeth in conventional dentures rest on the gum tissue, with suction helping to keep them in place. Many people opt for dental adhesive, which can be used on these pieces to better glue the dentures in place to avoid sliding and slipping.

With proper care and maintenance, these can last about five to ten years before needing to be replaced. These are great, flexible options for people who want to be able to remove their dentures when they want. They also have a relatively short recovery period and are cost-effective. The major downside is that compared to other options, conventional dentures don’t last as long, and they have a tendency to slip and slide around.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures work similarly to full dentures, but the main difference is that they only fill in a gap created by missing teeth – they don’t replace the entire jaw. These usually clip to surrounding teeth to fill in spaces and restore the look of your mouth.

These are great options when you’re only missing a small portion of your teeth. While they are sometimes uncomfortable when eating or drinking, they can be easily removed and replaced when necessary.

Temporary Dentures

Also called immediate dentures, these can be fitted immediately after your teeth are removed so you can carry on as normal while your permanent dentures are being created and fitted.

It takes time for the lab to fit and make a pair of dentures that are perfectly aligned with your jaw, but after your teeth are extracted, you’ll naturally need something to be able to chew and speak. Immediate dentures can be placed the same day as extraction so you can eat, drink, and talk until your permanent ones come in.

Temporary dentures also let you get used to the feeling of wearing dentures. This reduces pressure on the gums without any major lifestyle changes. As their name implies, temporary dentures are not a permanent solution, but they may be recommended for use in the time between your tooth removal and permanent denture fitting.

Anchored Dentures

One of the main drawbacks of conventional dentures is that they do not fit the gums well, and they have the potential to pop off or slip around in the mouth as you talk to chew. While dental adhesives fix that, these can be just as uncomfortable to put on, and they aren’t foolproof.

One way to fix these issues is with anchored dentures. These are dentures that are held in place by a number of dental implants that are surgically inserted into the jawbone. Once these heal, the anchored dentures can be attached to these implants for a secure, snug fit that doesn’t loosen or slide around.

This is the best way to combine the effectiveness of implants with the ease of use of dentures. It ensures that your dentures fit perfectly while still giving you the freedom to remove them whenever you want.

Renew uses a SureSNAP Stabilization System that provides security and peace of mind. This lets us create a more secure hold for your dentures by connecting your new teeth to the implants directly. This way, you can easily remove the piece when you don’t want it in.

This system is only offered at Renew, so schedule a consultation today to see if anchored dentures are the right fit for you.

Which Type of Dentures Should I Get?

The type of dentures you get are mostly individual, and certain situations might warrant different treatments or methods. But the bottom line is that your dentist will probably have a better idea of what’s right for you, so schedule an appointment with them to see what they recommend.

If you’re worried about dentures because of the fact that they have a tendency not to fit well, it might be a good idea to lean toward anchored dentures or dental implants. Dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth, whereas anchored dentures are a happy medium between the temporary accessibility of dentures and the permanent reliability of implants.

In Conclusion

Dentures can replace missing teeth with ease, and there are plenty of different kinds for all situations. Full, conventional dentures replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, whereas partial dentures replace just a few teeth to fill in the gaps. Temporary dentures are used in the interim between when teeth are extracted and when permanent dentures are created.

Most dentures adhere to the gums, which can cause them to slip and slide around. To fix this, anchored dentures by Renew attach directly to sturdy dental implants for a secure fit that still allows for the accessibility of conventional dentures.

Pros and Cons of Dentures vs. Dental Implants

Happy doctor greeting and handshaking with senior patient at his office. Focus is on senior man.

Keeping all of your teeth might sound like an easy task, but you never know what life might throw your way. Tooth decay, trauma, and gum disease are all possible ailments that can affect the way your smile looks in the long run.

But the good news is that even if you start losing teeth, you don’t need to lose that smile. Dental implants and dentures are great resources for you to be able to renew the structure and function of your mouth. Though, is one better than the other?

Let’s take a look at the differences between dentures and dental implants, as well as which one might make more sense for you.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable fixtures that can replace missing teeth to restore your smile. If tooth decay, injury, or disease has caused you to lose all of your teeth, dentures can replace them to benefit your appearance and health.

Dentures make it easier for you to eat and speak, and they’re removable, so you can take them out at night or other times of day when you feel like you don’t need them in. Dentures can be partial, meaning they replace a few teeth, or full, meaning they replace all of your teeth.

Pros

One of the major benefits of dentures is that they offer great aesthetics. They are pearly white and look entirely cohesive — in many cases, they may even look better than your natural teeth once did. 

Dentures also help protect the muscles in your face. When you lose your teeth, your facial muscles may begin to sag, which can lead to wrinkles and other premature signs of aging. But dentures help to fill out the appearance of your face by closely resembling your natural teeth, thus working to maintain your facial shape.

Conventional dentures are also generally low maintenance. You can clean your dentures in or out of your mouth, and all you need to do is give them a quick rinse after eating. Overnight, you can also soak them in a glass of water to clean them and give your gums a break.

Finally, dentures are an option for pretty much anyone. A drawback of traditional implants and bridges is that you need healthy gums and a strong jaw since they are implanted into the bone. But with dentures, you don’t need these, making it a more cost-effective option.

Cons

Like all good things in life, conventional dentures are temporary. And this means that you’ll need to replace them every few years. Additionally, it takes multiple procedures before you can make your set of dentures. While this is to ensure a proper fit, it can still be frustrating when you need to wait so long.

Being able to remove dentures is great, but this can also create problems because they can feel loose in your mouth. This can cause tenderness, soreness, and general discomfort if they fit poorly. Also, traditional dentures rely on adhesives and suction to keep them stable which has been a drawback from some.
With that said, Renew is the only provider of the innovative SureSNAP Stabilization System, a unique system that keeps dentures stable and secure. With this system, you can have confidence in your new smile and bite strength without worrying about slipping and sliding. With Renew, the dentures are kept stable by attaching to dental implants. They are fixed when you want them in and removable when you don’t.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are also replacements for missing teeth, but the major difference from dentures is that implants are permanent fixtures in the mouth. Implants are small, usually titanium, posts that replace the root of a tooth. This post is attached to the jawbone where an abutment (replacement) tooth is laid on top.

Pros

A massive pro of dental implants is that with proper care, they have the potential to last forever. There is an extremely low failure rate, making these very effective methods for enhancing your smile and replacing missing teeth.

They also allow you to replace as many teeth as you need to, with the ability to replace just one tooth all the way up to every single tooth. You can’t usually get dentures if you’re only missing one tooth.

Dentures are also very easy to take care of. You still need to brush and have regular cleanings, but they are more stain resistant and are more likely to remain pearly white from the day you get them implanted

Cons

A drawback of implants is that you need a strong enough jaw bone to support the titanium posts. This makes them a bit more inaccessible for certain individuals with underlying health conditions.

Additionally, the restoration on top of the teeth can wear out, meaning that the abutment tooth may need to be replaced. Keep in mind that the titanium post is likely to last forever – but needing to get the replacement fixed can be a nuisance for some.
Fixed implants also tend to be a lot more expensive and involved compared to dentures, too. You can expect to pay thousands of dollars for just a single dental implant, and the process can take months from start to finish because you need to wait for the jawbone to heal around the titanium post.

In Conclusion

Dentures are a removable fixture in your mouth that replaces missing teeth. These can be fully removed and replaced at your own leisure, and they work to restore the structure and function of your teeth. The major benefit of dentures is that they are low maintenance and easily replaced, however, they can also feel loose in the mouth.

Implants are permanent features that are fixed to the bone in your jaw. They can replace one tooth or every single tooth in the mouth. The major benefits here are that they have the potential to last forever, but the drawback is that they can take a long time to implant since you need to wait for the bone around your jaw to heal. They are also not removable. They require cleanings with your dentist who have to remove the teeth in order to clean them thoroughly. 

Why not combine the best of both worlds? Anchored dentures are a great way to restore the structure and function of missing teeth, and with Renew’s unique SureSNAP system, you don’t need to worry about them slipping and sliding. Pair that with a lifetime guarantee, and you can feel confident in your smile. Book your appointment today.
