Combining the advantages of implants and dentures

Implant dentures

Implants and dentures

As we get older, the number of missing teeth increases,

and the treatment options that are recommended

will include full-mouth implants and dentures.

Full-mouth implants also deliver maximum results with a minimal number of implants,

reducing cost burden while strengthening chewing ability,

but it is true that dentures are much less costly.

However, dentures absorb and cause the jawbone to recede,

and there are inconveniences such as the risk of them coming loose in daily life,

so choosing dentures is not always easy.

For those people, another option is

implant dentures.

Differences between full-mouth implants and implant dentures

Full-mouth implants

The number of implanted fixtures is about 13 to 28,

and treatment takes 3 to 6 months.

They provide durability and stability similar to natural teeth.

There is less pain or discomfort during use,

and they are semi-permanent

and economical in terms of lifespan,

but they are more expensive than implant dentures.

Implant dentures

The number of implanted fixtures is about 2 to 5,

and treatment takes 3 to 6 months.

They are less durable and stable than full-mouth implants,

but stronger and more stable than dentures.

There is relatively little pain or discomfort during use,

and they are semi-permanent.

They are more economical in terms of lifespan

because they cost less than full-mouth implants.

Dentures

There is no implant placement,

and fabrication takes 1 month.

Durability and stability are weak.

There is initial pain or discomfort during use,

and they need repair and replacement every 3 to 4 years.

They are the least expensive among replacement tooth options.

Implant dentures

They do not make it difficult to eat chewy, hard foods,

there is less pain or discomfort during use,

and they are semi-permanent,

so they can be seen as a replacement tooth treatment that compensates for the shortcomings of dentures.

Implant denture procedure

After placing 2 to 4 implants,

a ball-type denture that can be attached to the implants like buttons is made.

Because the denture is ball-type and attaches like a button,

it can be removed and reinserted,

and compared with full-mouth implants,

it costs less,

causes less pain and discomfort than dentures,

and shows excellent durability, stability, and security.

So if you are deciding between full-mouth implants and dentures,

we recommend implant dentures,

which make the most of each advantage and reduce each disadvantage.
