However, some patients may be reluctant to take this route due to cost concerns. As you continue reading, learn about the advantages implants offer and discover how the dental implant cost will pay for itself in future benefits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Dentures Stack Up Against Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, dentures are considered a more affordable way to replace a full arch or complete set of teeth. Additionally, many patients prefer this method because a portion of the cost is usually covered by dental insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the initial investment is often less than that of implants, here are some factors that should be taken into account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The total cost <\/strong>\u2013 Dentures typically last 5-10 years. Thus, you can expect recurring repair costs, which can range from $300 to $500 with each incident. If the dentures aren\u2019t repairable, you\u2019ll have to reinvest in a new set. This still doesn\u2019t account for the maintenance costs, which include the purchase of fixatives and adhesives.<\/li><li><strong>The convenience cost <\/strong>\u2013 To extend their life and promote gum health, dentures must be removed nightly to be cleaned and soaked.<\/li><li><strong>The health cost <\/strong>\u2013 Because dentures are an above-gum form of tooth replacement, they don\u2019t provide tension at the jawbone level that helps to prevent bone loss.<\/li><li><strong>The social cost <\/strong>\u2013 The jawbone and facial changes that occur over time can cause dentures to slip or click when you chew, laugh or talk. There is also a greater risk of them dislodging.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Dental Implants are Better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By receiving dental implants that are surgically inserted into the jawbone, the necessary tension is restored. Thus, you\u2019re able to maintain your existing bone mass and offset any structural changes that could affect your appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With proper care, which includes brushing and flossing at least two times a day and visiting your dentist every six months for preventive care, your implants can last 30 years to a lifetime. That means you won\u2019t have to worry about reaching for your wallet in the future to pay for a new procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an added benefit, it\u2019s much easier to care for implants than dentures, as there\u2019s no need for nightly removal for cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the Next Step?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about the dental implant procedure and to find out if you\u2019re eligible, contact a local dentist to request a visit. While there, you can also get an in-depth breakdown of the fee schedule so you can plan accordingly. By taking this first step, you\u2019ll be on the road to finally having your smile and functionality restored in a lasting and highly beneficial manner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A graduate of the California College of Ayurveda, Dr. Ed Hajdari takes a holistic and integrative approach to practicing dentistry.
