Dentures or Dental Implants


If you are missing multiple teeth, there are a few different tooth replacement options, including dentures and dental implants. Both of these options can be successful in replacing teeth, but each has advantages and disadvantages. 

Dentures are not what they were 50 years ago. A viable tooth replacement option, dentures have several benefits, including:

  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Effective tooth replacement for people who are not dental implant candidates
  • Replace all of your teeth or some of your teeth
Dentures have disadvantages as well. Dentures are prone to sliding around and are not entirely stable compared to dental implants. Other advantages of dental implants include:
  • Promote strong jawbone
  • Provide durable chewing and speaking surface
  • Permanent tooth replacement
A major disadvantage to dental implants is that not everyone is a candidate for the surgery. For these patients, dentures are often a good alternative.

After discussing your dental needs, Dr. Michael Folck, D.D.S., will determine the best way to replace your missing teeth. Your case is unique, and the best treatment for you will depend on your unique dental needs.

If you are interested in dental implants or dentures in Newport News, Virginia, or the surrounding areas, please contact experienced Virginia cosmetic dentist Dr. Michael Folck to schedule a free initial consultation.
