If you are looking for dental restoration, Dr. Alexander Pritsky and Dr. Roger Lang can help at Brookside Dental Care. Today you have the option of both dentures or implants if you have missing, damaged, or decayed teeth. You may be wondering about the differences between dentures and dental implants in Stockton, CA. Let's look at a few of the differences and similarities between these two options. 

Dentures

Dentures are the traditional method of tooth restoration. Dentures are used when teeth are missing, or if teeth are so decayed or damaged that they should be removed. Dentures are designed to fit comfortably in the mouth and to be removed nightly for cleaning. 

The pros of dentures are that having a set of dentures created for your mouth is usually a quick and easy procedure once the damaged teeth have been removed. 

Dentures, however, do not feel and work like natural teeth would. Patients who opt for dentures often find that they cannot chew the same way as they did with natural teeth. This can sometimes require the patient to alter their eating habits or the types of food they eat. 

Implants

Dental implants in Stockton, CA, offer patients a permanent solution for false teeth. Implants can be thought of as dentures that are permanently attached to your jawbone. Each implant consists of a rod that is surgically implanted into the jawbone. The tooth is then placed on top of this rod. Because each tooth is implanted separately, the set of teeth can work like your natural teeth for chewing and biting. 

This procedure is more time-consuming and will require that you undergo major dental surgery following the removal of your teeth. There will also be a recovery time while your mouth heals from the procedure. 

Once the implants are completed, you will be able to enjoy your new, permanent set of teeth for years to come.
