Dental Implants vs Dentures: what is the right option?

Missing teeth can happen due to several reasons including ,but not limited to, dental decay, gum disease and an accident. It is fairly common for an adult to miss at least one tooth with almost 70% of adults aged 35 to 44 years have at least one missing tooth and need a single tooth replacement, and 25% of people older than 74 are missing all of their teeth and need full mouth teeth replacement.
The main concerns for people with missing teeth are compromised chewing ability, which affects the food digestion, and cosmetics, which affects self-esteem.
Dentures are fake teeth and they don’t function and look like natural teeth. But there is no need to be concerned about having a fake teeth for the rest of your life as dental implants are available as the natural looking and best tooth replacement. Below we summarize the main differences between dental implants and dentures that explains why most people prefer dental implants rather than dentures.
