If you are missing multiple teeth, it can greatly impede your ability to bite, chew, talk, and maintain oral hygiene. Among the choices for restoring your smile are dentures and dental implants, both replacements for teeth with unique advantages.

At Brookview Dental in Newtown, CT, dentures and dental implants are options to discuss with Dr. Giovanni Cono. Let us help you complete your smile for optimal health and function.

What are the advantages of dental implants?

Dental implants are a permanent solution and the most discreet option for tooth replacement. Dental implants consist of a screw-like post that is embedded in the jaw bone and capped with an artificial tooth that is shaped, sized, and tinted to match the rest of your teeth.

The cost of dental implants is significantly higher than for dentures, but they will last a lifetime. Dental implants look natural and attractive and are easy to care for with brushing and flossing. They feel just like natural teeth, with no concerns of shifting or loosening.

What are the benefits of dentures?

Dentures from our Newtown, CT, office are an economical way to restore your teeth. Unlike dental implants, dentures are removable and are cleaned on their own. Dentures are a non-surgical option, with no recovery period. We custom make your dentures so they fit comfortably and you can bite and chew easily.

Dentures have come a long way in appearance, and are more natural-looking than ever. If you are missing the majority of your teeth, or a full set, dentures are the most affordable and practical option for tooth replacement. There may be an adjustment period as you get used to the feel and suction of your dentures, but they should soon feel comfortable and natural in your mouth.
