Fortunately, thanks to advanced technology, high-quality materials, and the latest techniques, tooth replacement options today are safe <em>and<\/em> natural-looking &#8211; leaving you to just determine which alternative is best for your budget. However, it is crucial to remember that although the upfront dental implant cost is higher, they may save you money in the long run. Read on for four factors to consider when making your decision!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 Factors to Consider When Weighing the Cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon reviewing the upfront price of dental implants and dentures, the latter is more cost-effective. However, it is important to consider the<em> total<\/em> cost. With that being said, here are a few factors to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Lifespan<\/strong> \u2013 While dentures can last anywhere between 5 to 15 years, dental implants can last 20+ years with proper care. Plus, both partial and full dentures require routine maintenance for adjustments, which is not included in the initial cost.<\/li><li><strong>Convenience <\/strong>\u2013 Since dentures require special care (like soaking them at night and applying special adhesives), patients should consider years of commitment to time-consuming maintenance.<\/li><li><strong>Bone loss <\/strong>\u2013 Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that can effectively stimulate your jawbone to prevent deterioration. Since dentures don\u2019t have the same ability, patients may experience unintended consequences, like a change to your facial structure.<\/li><li><strong>The social aspect <\/strong>\u2013 While dental implants provide patients with a strong biteforce and unparalleled durability, dentures can move when you chew, laugh, or kiss, making social interactions uncomfortable.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 Additional Benefits of Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the cost benefits are substantial enough to stand alone, dental implants are the superior choice for other reasons as well. In fact, patients who opt for this popular tooth replacement solution can enjoy perks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Custom-made implants are designed to seamlessly match the size, shape, and color of each missing tooth.<\/li><li>A strong biteforce.<\/li><li>No extensive food restrictions.<\/li><li>Long lifespan.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are missing one or more teeth and currently deciding which tooth replacement option is best for you, make sure to consider both the upfront and total cost. That way, you can pick the right treatment for your smile and wallet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For over three decades, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/about-us.html\">Brooks Dental<\/a> has built a reputation on top-notch dental care and world-class service provided by a team of friendly, knowledgeable professionals.
