So, which option is right for you? Let’s explore the key differences.
Did you know that over 3 million people in the UK have chosen dental implants, with that number increasing by around 500,000 annually? Dental implants are a fixed, long-term solution that closely mimic natural teeth. They are titanium posts placed into the jawbone, which then support replacement teeth such as crowns or dentures.
Patient Boo came to us following a difficult extraction at another practice. Despite only being in her mid-40s, she thought dentures were her only option – until she discovered dental implants.
“The implant I had is amazing- you would never know that it is an implant …it looks like my normal tooth. Thank you to all the team – I highly recommend it to anyone thinking of having an implant.”
Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth that rest on the gums. They are a cost-effective way to restore your smile and can be custom-made for comfort and fit.
These dentures are strong, durable, hygienic, and can be fitted with clasps for extra grip. They are often used when a narrow but strong denture is needed.
“Kevin the denture technician fitted my immediate denture… After having the front tooth out I felt quite upset but Kevin put in the denture and my smile was back. The nurses – Hannah and Georgia that assisted treated me so well… What more can I say – an amazing team.” – Karen Hanson
At Stourbridge Dental and Implant Clinic, we’ll carefully assess your needs, lifestyle, and oral health to recommend the treatment that’s best for you.
Sometimes, before placing dental implants, extra steps are needed to ensure there’s enough strong, healthy bone to support them. For patients who don’t have sufficient bone height in the upper jaw, especially near the molars or premolars, we may recommend a sinus lift. This gentle procedure creates the extra space needed for implants by adjusting the sinus area.
In other cases, if the jawbone has weakened or thinned over time, a bone graft can be performed to rebuild strength and stability. These treatments help create the ideal foundation for long-lasting dental implants.
Choosing between dental implants and dentures is a personal decision that depends on your oral health, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
