Implants Versus Dentures
Choosing the Right Cosmetic Treatment
Two highly sought-after cosmetic solutions at our clinic are implants and dentures. While both options can deliver an exceptional outcome, the choice between them depends on what suits you best.
A Quick Overview
For some individuals, implants prove to be the more suitable treatment, while others may find dentures to be the preferable alternative. Each treatment have their own benefits, and the success and durability of either depend on how well-suited it is to the individual case.
In certain circumstances, either can be the optimal choice. It's even possible to combine the two by opting for dentures supported by implants—implants placed in the jaw, with a secure, removable denture on top.
The decision between dentures and implants is best made by examining the advantages of each treatment and determining which suits your preferences.
Factors Influencing the Choice of Treatment:
- Bone Levels in the Jawbone: The quantity and quality of bone in the jawbone play an important role. Adequate bone density may make implants a suitable choice, while insufficient bone may mean considering alternatives like dentures or advanced treatments such as bone grafting.
- Number of Missing Teeth: Implants are a good option for a few missing teeth, especially when individuals find managing partial dentures challenging or dislike the use of metal clasps.
- Risk of Mouth Infection: Susceptibility to infection is an important factor affecting the choice of treatment. Your clinical examination will provide information regarding this aspect, offering two options—a fixed option where teeth remain in place or a removable option akin to dentures for eating and cleaning.

Implant Guide
Implants undergo colour matching and meticulous shaping to seamlessly harmonize with your natural teeth. Implant teeth are virtually indistinguishable from real teeth.
Long-Lasting Dental Implants
Once the implant integrates with your jawbone and surrounding tissues, the artificial titanium structure functions just like a natural root.
When we insert a titanium implant into the jawbone, it becomes an integral part of your oral structure.
This provides numerous health advantages, such as slowing or stopping bone loss, reinforcing the jawbone's structure, and diminishing the likelihood of gum disease due to better cleaning when compared to dentures.[Learn More.]
