According to Dental Lab Direct’s guide, dentures often have lower upfront costs than dental implants, making them the more suitable option for individuals on a budget. Depending on their preferences and how many teeth they are missing, customers can opt for either full dentures or partial dentures, the latter of which may be more expensive. Despite being cheaper than implants, Dental Lab Direct says that dentures must be replaced as the gums and jaw change - typically in intervals of five to ten years - adding to their lifetime costs.
Additionally, the resource notes that full dentures are not cemented in place and may shift when the wearer eats or speaks, causing some discomfort; they may also dull the wearer’s perception of taste and temperature and reduce their bite strength. However, partial dentures will not create this problem, as they are clipped to existing teeth, making them a cost-effective option for individuals who still have most of their teeth.
Dental Lab Direct’s team also notes that dentures do not require invasive procedures, which makes them attractive to many customers.
On the other hand, dental implants require extensive oral surgery with lengthy recovery times - patients must wait for the implants to fuse completely with the bone before the crown is attached, a process that can take several months. The procedure is also extremely expensive, with a single tooth implant costing between $3,000 and $7,000.
As a trade-off, implant posts, which are made of titanium, can last indefinitely and have fewer ongoing maintenance costs associated with them; because they are anchored to the jawbone like natural teeth, they are also more stable and allow for stronger bites.
With these considerations in mind, Dental Lab Direct’s guide concludes that dentures are more suitable for individuals with all or most of their teeth missing, while implants may be preferable those who only require one or two replacements.
