Get the info you need on both methods from the team at Kobza Dental.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><!--more-->What Are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Kobza knows that dental implants are the gold standard for replacing teeth. He explains that they consist of three pieces:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Implant<\/u> \u2013 The implant itself is a biocompatible titanium post that will be surgically placed in your jaw. This will become the secure foundation for the rest of your replacement tooth. You\u2019ll have oral surgery as the first step in the process, and you\u2019ll need about 3-6 months for the post to fuse with your jaw in a process called osseointegration. At that point, the other pieces can be added.<\/li>\n<li><u>Abutment<\/u> \u2013 This is the connecting piece between the implant and- the tooth-shaped \u201ccap.\u201d Once the implant is strong enough, the abutment will then be affixed to the post.<\/li>\n<li><u>Crown<\/u> \u2013 This is the part of the replacement that looks like the tooth. The long-lasting, natural-looking porcelain dental crown will be secured to the abutment after that part is added, restoring your smile to its former glory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Types Of Dentures Are There?<\/h2>\n<p>At our practice, we offer three types of dentures to restore your smile:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Partial Dentures<\/u> \u2013 These are exactly like they sound \u2013 rather than a full plate, \u201cpartials\u201d replace one or several missing teeth, and are set on a base that looks like your natural gum tissue.<\/li>\n<li><u>Full Dentures<\/u> \u2013 If you need a full row of teeth replaced, our full dentures fit comfortably, look natural, and are long-lasting.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.perio.org\/consumer\/full-mouth-implants\">Implant-Retained Dentures<\/a> \u2013 These combine the best features of both dentures and implants. Dr. Kobza can actually secure a full plate of dentures to your jaw to replace numerous teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Are The Benefits Of Each Type Of Artificial Tooth?<\/h2>\n<p>Each solution offers a unique advantage to our patients with missing teeth:<\/p>\n<p><u>Dental implants<\/u> are great because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They don\u2019t shift around in the mouth.<\/li>\n<li>They strengthen your jaw bone.<\/li>\n<li>They can last indefinitely with proper care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Dentures<\/u> are an excellent option due to these facts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They are quick to create, so you don\u2019t have to wait for a complete replacement.<\/li>\n<li>They\u2019re less expensive up front than implants, although they will need to be replaced throughout your life.<\/li>\n<li>If your jaw bone isn\u2019t dense enough for implants, you can avoid bone grafting surgery with dentures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that you know the difference between dentures and dental implants in Falls City, you can replace your missing teeth with the method that\u2019s right for you.
