Are Dental Implants for You?

If you wear false teeth, you will know that there are problems that come with wearing dentures. It can take time to get the fit right, loose or tight teeth are uncomfortable to wear and cause sores and ulcers. If your mouth changes shape it means several visits to the dentist to get your teeth adjusted or get new dentures fitted. Having more of your natural teeth removed, means new dentures or adjustments to your existing ones.

Day to day, wearing dentures can be a problem. Food can get stuck between the teeth and your palette. Even with a pair of dentures that fit well, you can still experience problems eating certain foods, especially meat.

If you have implants fitted, you will experience none of these problems. They are suitable for most people, and do not take long to fit.

Dental Implants are a Worthwhile Investment

Some people are put off by the cost, but when you consider that they last a lifetime with very little maintenance there is actually a good cost argument for having dental implants rather than using dentures.

Most people will have to replace their dentures several times. Natural wear and tear means that their false teeth will need to be repaired, on occasion. In addition, you have to factor in the cost of cleaning products and glues to hold them in place. With dental implants, you pay once, and can clean them in the same way you do natural teeth.

Buying the Right Dental Implants
