Understanding Dental Implants and Dentures

Both dental implants and dentures serve the purpose of replacing missing teeth, but they differ in design, functionality, and permanence.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that mimic natural teeth. They consist of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jawbone, an abutment, and a dental crown.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace multiple missing teeth. They can be full dentures (for complete tooth loss) or partial dentures (for replacing several missing teeth).

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer a lifelong solution for tooth loss with numerous advantages:

  • Natural Look & Feel: Implants closely resemble real teeth.

  • Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.

  • Bone Preservation: Prevents jawbone deterioration and maintains facial structure.

  • Improved Chewing & Speech: Functions like natural teeth for enhanced comfort.

  • No Slippage: Unlike dentures, implants stay securely in place.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures are a versatile and cost-effective solution for missing teeth:

  • Restores Smile & Facial Aesthetics: Prevents a sunken facial appearance.

  • Removable for Easy Cleaning: Allows for better oral hygiene maintenance.

  • Affordable Alternative to Implants: Suitable for patients who prefer a non-surgical option.

  • Custom-Fit for Comfort: Designed to match your natural gums and teeth.

Types of Dental Implants We Offer

At Sharing Smiles Dental Care, we provide various implant solutions based on your needs:

1. Single Tooth Implants

For patients missing just one tooth, a single implant with a custom-made crown provides a natural and durable solution.

2. Multiple Teeth Implants

When multiple adjacent teeth are missing, implant-supported bridges offer a more stable and long-lasting alternative to traditional bridges.

3. Full-Arch (All-on-4 or All-on-6) Implants

For those missing an entire arch of teeth, full-arch implants use four or six implants to secure a fixed denture.

4. Mini Dental Implants

Smaller than traditional implants, mini implants provide a quicker and less invasive alternative, often used for securing dentures.

Types of Dentures We Offer

We offer several denture options to match different preferences and needs:

1. Complete (Full) Dentures

  • Used when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing.

  • Custom-made to fit comfortably over the gums.

2. Partial Dentures

  • Ideal for patients who still have some natural teeth.

  • Uses clasps or precision attachments to stay in place.

3. Implant-Supported Dentures

  • More secure than traditional dentures.

  • Snaps onto dental implants for better stability and function.

4. Immediate Dentures

  • Provided the same day as tooth extractions to ensure you never go without teeth.

Caring For Your Implants And Dentures

Dental Implant Care:

  • Brush and floss daily like natural teeth.

  • Regular dental checkups to monitor implant health.

  • Avoid smoking to prolong implant longevity.

Denture Care:

  • Remove and clean dentures daily.

  • Soak in a denture solution overnight.

  • Avoid biting hard foods that could damage the denture.

The Dental Implant Process

Step 1: Consultation & Exam

We assess your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss the best treatment plan for your needs.

Step 2: Implant Placement

A titanium post is surgically inserted into your jawbone. Healing typically takes 3-6 months.

Step 3: Abutment Placement

Once the implant integrates with the bone, an abutment is attached to connect the implant to the crown.

Step 4: Custom Crown Placement

A natural-looking crown is secured onto the implant, completing your new tooth.

The Denture Process

Step 1: Consultation & Impressions

We take impressions of your gums and remaining teeth to create a custom fit.

Step 2: Denture Fabrication

Your dentures are crafted in a lab, ensuring they match your natural appearance.

Step 3: Fitting & Adjustments

We fit the dentures and make adjustments to ensure comfort and proper function.

Common Questions About Implants and Dentures

  • Most patients experience minimal discomfort during implant placement. Local anesthesia ensures a painless procedure.

  • With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

  • It’s recommended to remove dentures at night to allow your gums to rest.

  • Modern dentures are designed to look like real teeth for a natural appearance.

  • Dental implants function like real teeth, allowing you to eat anything. Dentures may require some adjustment to softer foods initially.
