If you need to replace one or more missing teeth, but are on a tight budget, you may think it\u2019s a better value to skip the dental implants<\/a> and choose dentures or a dental bridge instead. But the truth is, while other methods may be more affordable up front<\/em>, dental implants may just be a better value overall<\/em>. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Maintenance Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you wear dentures, you can expect regular maintenance costs such as denture cleansers and soaks. Furthermore, you\u2019ll also need to account for the time it takes to care for them. After all, time is money. You should also be prepared to remove them after each meal and brush and floss them completely to ensure they don\u2019t smell bad, look dirty, or become damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With dental implants, you can brush and floss them with the rest of your natural teeth, using the same toothbrush, dental floss, and toothpaste for your entire smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repair Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With dentures, it is important to remove them each night when you go to bed and leave them soaking in a glass of denture soak or water until you\u2019re ready to wear them again. If you don\u2019t, they could dry out and become warped or cracked, requiring a complete replacement. Furthermore, should you drop them and break them during cleaning, you will need to return to the dentist to have them repaired if it\u2019s even possible. The same is true for if they stop fitting properly. In those cases, you\u2019ll likely need to have them relined, which is another additional cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants remain permanently attached to the jaw, so there\u2019s no way (or need) to remove them for cleaning. This means that there is no risk of damaging them by dropping them, or by them drying out outside of your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replacement Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dentures and dental bridges weren\u2019t designed to last forever. In fact, with regular use most will need to be replaced every five to ten years. Conversely, with dental implants you won\u2019t need to worry about buying new prosthetics. With proper care and use, your new restorations will last a lifetime, eliminating the need to spend time and money on frequent upgrades and updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, while dental implants may cost more initially, they will pay for themselves in saved time and money on expenses like repairs, maintenance, and replacement that are required with other restorations. To learn more about how these dynamic prosthetics can benefit you, please schedule a consultation with your dentist today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
