If you have lost your teeth, you may be able to choose between dentures and dental implants to restore your teeth. These are two different types of restorations that offer individual benefits. Our dentist in Long Beach can help you decide which is right for you.
Conventional dentures are a type of removable restoration that fits over the gums. They consist of an acrylic gum-colored base and prosthetic teeth. The dentures are held in place by gravity and suction but will need occasional adjustments to ensure a comfortable, secure fit.
Dental implants are a type of restoration that is secured by the jawbone. They are placed in a surgical procedure, and the biocompatible material becomes incorporated into your body. Implants can then be restored with the prosthetic teeth of your choice. Individual dental crowns, porcelain bridges or dentures can all be secured by dental implants, which do not slip, pinch or fall out of place. They keep the bone structure strong and healthy and give you the confidence you may have lost along with your teeth.
