You may have heard about multiple solutions, but how do you know which one is best for you? There are many factors to consider, which is why your expert dentist wants to give you a better idea of whether you\u2019ll need dental implants or a denture in San Antonio. Keep reading to learn about these replacement options and the candidates that are best for dentures and dental implants.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.laithdentistry.com\/dental-implants-in-san-antonio.html\">Dental implants<\/a> are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed in your jawbone to act as natural tooth roots. Titanium, a biocompatible material, fuses to your jawbone to create a sturdy and stable support for your dental restoration. Dental implants can be used to support dental crowns, bridges, and even dentures.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Dentures?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.laithdentistry.com\/dentures.html\">Dentures<\/a> have been used for hundreds of years to restore the look and function of patients\u2019 smiles. Partial or full dentures can replace multiple or all of your missing teeth. The gum-colored base is typically made out of composite resin, which is comfortable, flexible, and lightweight. This base is attached to your false teeth for a complete prosthetic.<\/p>\n<h2>Which Replacement is Right for Me?<\/h2>\n<p>There are many variables that can influence which replacement is right for you. The only way to know for certain is to visit your dentist for a consultation. They will be able to examine your mouth to recommend the best solution for you. However, the main factors that will determine whether you need a denture or dental implants in San Antonio is how many teeth you\u2019re missing and the state of your health.<\/p>\n<p>Candidates for dental implants must have a strong enough jawbone to accommodate them or are healthy enough to undergo a bone graft. A benefit of dental implants is that they can be used to restore one, multiple, or many teeth in your mouth. Even if you\u2019re missing all or most of your teeth, they can be used to anchor dentures. This allows you to receive a full and beautiful smile provided by dentures, with the security, stability, and biting power of dental implants.<\/p>\n<p>Patients with weaker jawbones, those who would prefer a less invasive approach, or those who are looking for the quickest solution would benefit from dentures. This option allows you to completely replace both arches of your smile with a beautiful set of pearly whites.<\/p>\n<p>Does dentures or dental implants sound like the right solution for you? Contact your dentist to get started on a more beautiful, functional, and confident smile.<\/p>\n<h2>Meet the Dentist<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Racha W.
