Are you considering dentures due to being on a tight budget? While this option may <em>seem<\/em> more affordable up front, the truth is that despite their higher upfront costs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.norwooddentalcare.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> are often a much better value and can even save you money over time. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lower Maintenance Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Caring for dentures can really add up. Between the regular maintenance costs like denture cleansers and soaks, as well as the time it takes to care for them properly, dental implants are already a better value. That\u2019s because they\u2019re just like your real teeth, so they don\u2019t need to be removed to soak or clean, and they don\u2019t require any special tools or products to keep them looking and working their best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Less-Frequent Repair Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they\u2019re durable, dentures can become damaged much easier than dental implants. They can break in half or chip if dropped during cleaning, and over time they can begin to change shape if they dry out. In fact, your mouth can also shift, so even if your dentures don\u2019t, they may still need a reline. Unfortunately, all these repairs cost money, and that can really add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, because your dental implants remain securely in place in your jaw, they don\u2019t need to come out to be cleaned or soaked. That means they can\u2019t be dropped, nor will they change shape. Best of all, because the implants provide important jawbone stimulation, your jaw will have a lower risk of shrinking and thus your prosthetics will not need to be adjusted to compensate, saving you plenty of money on costly repairs over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potentially No Replacement Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because dentures weren\u2019t meant to last forever, you should expect to replace them every five to seven years. With dental implants, however, unless they become damaged (which is rare) you won\u2019t need to replace them. In fact, with proper care and use, they could last a lifetime, potentially saving you thousands of dollars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, while your dental implants may cost more up front than other restorations, with proper care they will not only pay for themselves, but they\u2019ll save you money on additional costs over dentures.
