Are Dental Implants a Good Investment?

If you are missing any teeth or have teeth that are not in the best of shape, chances are your dentist has suggested either dentures or dental implants. There are pros and cons of each solution.

Dentures Sunshine Coast

One of the main reasons that people choose dentures to replace their missing teeth is because they are typically cheaper than dental implants. Dentures offer a short term solution to fixing your smile. The dentures will be fitted in your mouth so that there are no holes showing in your smile.

The biggest problem with dentures is that they will typically only last about five to ten years, so you will need to replace them when they get worn out. In addition, if the dentures are not fitted correctly they can be uncomfortable to wear and may cause other issues with your mouth.

Dental implants are the perfect solution for those who want a more permanent solution to fixing their

smile. Titanium rods are placed in the jawbone to hold the “fake” tooth in place. The jawbone will grow around the rods, so the rods end up acting like the roots of your regular teeth.

The biggest concern with implants is the upfront costs. However, since implants will last a lifetime, the benefits of going this route to fix any gaps in your teeth is often the best solution. With implants you will not have to worry about movement or losing them as they are permanently imbedded in your mouth and will look and feel just like your regular teeth.

Overall, the choice is really up to you. The dentists Maroochydore provide different types of cosmetic dentistry solutions for your smile. When choosing a dentist Sunshine Coast it is important to choose one who will work with you based on your choices and your financial capabilities.

How Can Suncoast Dental help?

At Suncoast Dental Care Maroochydore, our team of expert dentists really know implants.

Dental implants are made of titanium. Looking just like a small cylinder or screw, dental implants are artificial replacements for the natural roots of a tooth. The dental implants are generally attached to the jawbone and gum tissue to make a solid ‘base’. A replacement tooth is then fixed to this base.

Alternatively, the implant can be used to anchor multiple replacement teeth. This is known as a dental crown. Implants can be used for front teeth as well as molars.

Dental implants help restore the ability to chew food. But they are also perfect for ‘filling in’ a face that would otherwise look sunken, due to one or more missing teeth.

Another option chosen by those who have lost one or more of their natural teeth is dentures. The main two reasons that implants are superior when compared to dentures is that an implant feels totally natural, and there is no need to remove them to clean them.

In recent years, some Australians have ventured overseas to less developed countries in an effort to get major dental work such as implants carried out at a lower cost. While this can sometimes prove successful, there are many ‘horror stories’ about poorly implanted teeth and lack of appropriate post-implant care.

At Suncoast Dental clinic, you can be confident that implants are carried out in a safe and hygienic environment by experienced, highly trained dentists and that the materials used for your implant are top quality. You’ll also know that the best possible post-implant care will be available should you need any assistance after the implant.
