If you have struggled with teeth difficulties, you may have wondered if dentures or dental implants are right for you. Which is the better option? Is it worth the investment?
Dental implantation may be more expensive upfront, but can actually be more cost-effective in the long run, providing many benefits for maintaining daily function. At Total Arch Dental Implant Center, we want to help provide you with all the information you need so you can see how dental implants are worth the investment.
When Dental Implants Are Recommended
There are a number of reasons why someone might need dentures or dental implants. Some include:
- Missing or broken teeth
- Tooth extraction
- Infected teeth
- Severe gum disease
- Loose bridge
- Difficulty chewing
A dental professional may recommend dental implants instead of dentures if there is concern about bone density, denture maintenance, or multiple missing teeth.
Dental implants are durable and give the same look and feel as regular teeth. They are a permanent option, as they are inserted into your jaw bone, helping to work alongside the natural teeth and preserve function and appearance. There are many reasons why people say dental implants are worth the investment.
1. Regular Speaking Function
A common concern in regards to dentures is how they change the way you talk. They can change the anatomy of your mouth and may require you to relearn how to produce certain sounds. Many people report whistling noises, increased saliva production, slurred speech, and speaking difficulty with dentures, especially if the dentures are ill-fitted.
With dental implants, though, they are meant to smoothly blend with your regular teeth, leading to a very temporary adjustment period, depending on the kind of implants you get. You’ll be back to normal speaking ability in no time.
2. Quickly Back to Chewing
Unlike traditional dental implants that require you to only consume liquids for months, with Total Arch dental implants, you’ll be able to eat regularly within a shorter amount of time. Depending on the procedure you get and the healing process, you can quickly transition back to eating soft foods and reach full functionality within a few months. This investment helps to preserve your daily routine with minimal disruption.
3. Permanent Solution
Dentures can be undesirable for multiple reasons: they can be hard to clean, difficult to eat and speak with, and cause shifting and discomfort. Dentures can also lead to a more sunken face since they don’t stimulate bone growth in the jaw. Implants are meant to act like natural teeth, permanently a part of your jaw, long-lasting, and helping promote bone growth and density in your jaw.
5. Personalized Treatment
At Total Arch, a wide variety of services are offered, like all-on-4 implants, single tooth implants, and zygomatic implants. With a free consultation and welcomed questions and communications, you can easily find treatment that works best for you and your teeth. While corporate dental centers may focus more on meeting quotas, we are an independently owned and operated business so we can prioritize you and your unique needs.
6. Immediate Results
One great benefit to getting dental implants from Total Arch is how quickly you can get results. Though the average length of time before getting dental implants is between 6-12 months, Total Arch can provide you with services and a new smile within 24 hours. You can get fast results while still receiving a high quality procedure, making it worth the investment.
7. Confidence Guaranteed
With a restored smile, you will feel a significant boost in confidence post-op. You can now proudly show off your new teeth, chewing and talking with ease. We want to help give you both confidence and improved oral hygiene. Whether you have missing, loose, or broken teeth, dental implants are worth the investment to give you a better and healthier smile.
