What is the difference between dentures and implants?
What is the difference between dentures and implants? They are full arches of artificial teeth that replace the patient’s missing teeth. Dentures are a lower-cost option than dental implants, but this also comes with more maintenance. Dental implants, on the other hand, are small titanium posts that are surgically implanted in the jaw.
How do porcelain veneers work?
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.
Can you get dental implants if you have no teeth?
You can get dental implants if you don’t have any teeth. In fact, dental implants may be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth or to support a full set of dentures. If you are in good general health, with a jawbone that can support an implants, this treatment may be an option for you.
How do full dental implants work?
Dental implants are surgically placed in your jawbone, where they serve as the roots of missing teeth. Because the titanium in the implants fuses with your jawbone, the implants won’t slip, make noise or cause bone damage the way fixed bridgework or dentures might.
