Depending\non your individual needs and wants, either dentures or dental implants in Chevy\nChase will most likely be right for you, but how do you know? To help you\nidentify which solution will give you the results you desire, let a dental professional\noffer some valuable insight to help you make your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Dentures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentures are prosthetics used to replace an entire arch\nof teeth either on the top or bottom row of your mouth. Crafted with a gum-colored\nbase, artificial teeth are positioned into the acrylic to create a lifelike,\nnatural restoration. They sit on top of the gums and use your natural suction\nto hold them in place. Some patients prefer the additional security of dental\nadhesive when wearing dentures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically\nplaced into your jawbone. They mimic your natural tooth root to provide\ncontinued stimulation to your jawbone, preventing deterioration or weakening\nover time. The implant consists of three parts: the post, metal abutment, and\ncustom-made restoration. Should you require implant-retained dentures, anywhere\nfrom 4 to 6 implants will be put into place before a customized denture is\nsecured into place on top of the posts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which One is Right For You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To answer this question, it is appropriate that you think\nabout what you truly want out of your new and improved smile. What factors are\nmost important to you and which ones are you willing to consider as less\nimportant? In order to generate a list of pros and cons for each, here are a\nfew things you should consider when determining how best to replace your\nmissing teeth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Longevity<\/strong>: How long do you want your\nrestoration to last? With dentures, you may be fortunate enough to maintain\nthem for a decade with proper care and maintenance; however, they are not meant\nto last forever and often require frequent relining and adjusting. Dental\nimplants, on the other hand, have been reported to last a lifetime. While the\nrestoration on top will need to be replaced over time, the post can remain\nintact and in place for decades or longer. &nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Functionality: <\/strong>Dental implants look and\nfeel like regular teeth, so you don\u2019t have to forgo the foods you love when\neating. Patients with implants are able to speak clearly and eat without\nfeeling as if their teeth will become loose or fall out. With dentures, eating\ncan be a bit difficult, often requiring you to cut up larger pieces for easier\nconsumption or simply avoiding certain foods altogether. <\/li><li><strong>Cost-Effectiveness: <\/strong>It\u2019s no secret that\ndentures are much less expensive than dental implants, but if you consider the\nmoney it takes for relining, readjusting, and replacing your dentures over your\nlife, dental implants prove to be a more cost-effective solution. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentures continue to remain a tried and true solution for\npatients with missing teeth, especially those who must factor cost above all\nelse. But if you want a restoration that will allow you to live without worrying\nabout accidental slippage and will give you the freedom to eat the foods you enjoy,\ndental implants prove to be the front-runner.
