The difference between an implant and a denture

Permanent Roots vs Removable Plates

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in your jawbone to replace missing teeth roots, while dentures are removable acrylic prosthetics that sit on your gums. This fundamental difference impacts everything from eating to stability.

Implants are permanent titanium roots fused to your jawbone, while dentures are removable acrylic plates that sit on your gums.

Key Differences to Consider

Our team will conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine if dental implants are the right choice for you.​
