Dental Implants vs Alternative Treatments
Compare dental implants with alternative treatments to find the best fit for your needs. Explore your options below to make an informed choice.
A denture is a removable dental appliance to replace missing teeth.
⭐Fact: Around 90% of edentulous people in the US wear dentures. It is predicted that around 15% of the edentulous population has dentures made each year.
Artificial teeth are fused to a metal frame to bridge the gap between missing teeth.
⭐Fact: More than 15 million Americans undergo crown and bridge replacements for missing teeth every year.
Also called Implant-supported dentures or Overdentures, these are removable crowns that snap on & off of surgically inserted implants in bone.
Unlike traditional dentures, snap-on dentures do not slide around or become loose.
⭐Fact: Approximately 2.3 million implant-supported crowns are made annually in the U.S.
Your dentist can advise you on a suitable option after considering the condition of your teeth, gums, and jawbone, as well as your overall health.
Read our guide to find out the costs of dental crowns in Colombia for a complete smile makeover.
Dental implants are a popular replacement option for many Americans because:
✅ They have a long-term success rate of up to 97%
✅ Implants are recognized as the most advanced solution for teeth.
Disadvantages of Tooth-Supported Bridges vs. Implants
- Involve grinding away adjacent teeth that attach and support the bridge
- The bone below the bridge may deteriorate over time
- Generally, bridges fail after 5-10 years because of difficulty in flossing
- Root surfaces around the bridgework are highly susceptible to decay
Disadvantages of Complete Dentures vs. Implants
- Not stable or comfortable as dental implants. This can affect speech & eating
- Don’t look as natural or function like implant-supported crowns
- Requires regular removal for cleaning which can be time-consuming
- The bone underneath the full denture may deteriorate over time
- Survival time: 7-15 years, the replacement costs can be more over the long term
