Although tooth loss affects every area of your life, the good news is that you have more choices for restoring your smile than ever before. And, while everyone wants the best option for replacing their teeth, what\u2019s right for one person may not be right for another. So how do you decide between dentures and dental implants in Gramercy Park? Keep reading for a comparison of the pros and cons of each choice to help you make the best decision!\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>What Are the Benefits and Drawbacks of Dentures?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>Treatment Time and Maintenance<\/h3>\r\nFrom start to finish, dentures typically require 4 visits spread out over 1-2 months to be made. After any necessary extractions have been done, no additional surgery is required.\r\n\r\nWith this option, bone loss in the jaws does occur over time, causing them to \u201cshrink\u201d and change shape. This is why dentures need periodic adjustments and relines to continue fitting well. The entire denture will need to be replaced every 5-10 years.\r\n<h3>Cost<\/h3>\r\nDentures are a great option for patients who need a lower <em>initial<\/em> cost. However, it\u2019s important to remember that the long-term cost is higher because of the need for adjustments and replacements.\r\n<h3>Function<\/h3>\r\nModern dentures fit better than ever, but still become loose and start to shift over time due to changes in the bone.\r\n\r\nDentures work particularly well for the upper arch and, for patients who have recently lost their teeth, they\u2019re great to use while healing.\r\n\r\nHowever, dentures take some time to adjust to because they don\u2019t quite function like natural teeth. Also, some foods are difficult or impossible to eat with dentures, such as corn on the cob or apples.\r\n<h2>What Are the Benefits and Drawbacks of Implants?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>Treatment Time and Maintenance<\/h3>\r\nAn in-office implant surgery takes about 1-2 hours per implant. Then it will take between 3-6 months to integrate, or fuse, with the surrounding bone. During this time you\u2019ll still be able to eat, drink and function normally. Finally, they\u2019ll be restored with either a dental crown, bridge or denture.\r\n\r\nImplants are easy to maintain and can last decades or even a lifetime with basic care and maintenance.\r\n<h3>Cost<\/h3>\r\nImplants have a higher upfront cost, but since they last so much longer (and are potentially permanent), they\u2019re a much better long-term investment.\r\n<h3>Function<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gramercydentalstudio.com\/dental-implants.html\">Dental implants<\/a> provide the strongest, most natural result, and look and feel more like your own teeth than any other option. And, since they stimulate and maintain your jawbone after tooth loss, the appearance and structure of your face won\u2019t change over time.\r\n\r\nThey can also be used for a wide variety of situations. For example, several missing teeth can be replaced with an implant-supported bridge, or an implant-retained denture can replace an entire upper or lower arch.\r\n\r\nEveryone has specific needs and goals, so the best way to know which option is best for you is to schedule a consultation. Once you have a treatment plan that takes your individual situation into account, you\u2019ll be one step closer to restoring your smile!\r\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gramercydentalstudio.com\/meet-dr-newman.html\">Dr. Ira Newman<\/a> is a general, cosmetic and restorative dentist in Gramercy Park and also a native of New York.
