implant dentist in Madison Square
Which are better, dental implants or dentures? Well, when compared to traditional dentures, our
implant dentist in Madison Square can offer you many points to support the idea that implants are the clear winner. But the good news is that you may not even have to choose between them. You can get the best of both worlds.
If you are replacing a single tooth or just a few, there are excellent reasons to set your sights on dental implants. Traditional dentures are the option that has been around for many years. They will serve the cosmetic purpose of completing your smile with new prosthetic teeth on a plastic base. And you will be able to chew better as a result. The reason, though, that dental implants were invented in the first place is that dentures had, and continue to have, some drawbacks. They are removable and held in with dental adhesive at the gum line, and with metal clasps on either side. The adhesive is not 100% reliable, however. It can allow your dentures to slide when you speak or chew. Dental implants, on the other hand, are a two-part restoration. They include a root, in the form of a titanium post that is surgically placed in your jaw. And they also have a tooth, in the form of a white crown cemented to the top of the post. Because of that, our
implant dentist in Madison Square can give you a new tooth or teeth that look, feel, and perform like natural ones. And for complete dentures, just a few implant posts can be used as a foundation for a new type of dentures that are as dependable as single dental implants are.
Come in to have a consultation and determine what is best for you when it comes to replacing your missing teeth. Call us to schedule an appointment with our
