Both dental implants in Delhi and dentures in Delhi are popular treatments to replace missing or decayed teeth.
In this blog, we are going to draw a comparison between the two treatments so that you can make an educated decision as to which solution would fit you the best.
Let us first discuss briefly about both the treatments.
They are permanent teeth replacements, and have become a popular alternative to dentures. Dental implants are titanium screws attached to your jawbone, which give the secure fit of natural and healthy teeth. Implants are one time solution, last longer and save you money over time. They are easier to maintain compared to dentures and are thus becoming the preferred choice. Now even the cost of full mouth dental implants is becoming relatively affordable, with the variety of dental implants available.
They are removable teeth replacements and have come a long way over the centuries. With advancements in technology, dentures today look more natural and aesthetic than ever.
Made to fully restore your ability to chew and speak.
Dentures are not for everyone, though. At times, if the dentures are not secured with denture adhesive, they can slip out of place while eating or speaking. Dentures can also lead to infection or tooth decay if they’re not fitted properly.
To make it easier for you to decide between the two options let us draw a comparison.
Dental Implants | Dentures | ||

Denture can be fabricated in one week. |
In a nutshell, patients who want a permanent solution that closely mimics the look and feel of healthy, natural teeth will want an implant or series of dental implants. While some patients feel that dentures are a “cheap” option and thus like to consider them. With the advancement in dentistry, the functionality of dentures is much greater than it was just a few years ago; it can never match teeth that are anchored into the jawbone.
The good news is that now there are different options available for the replacement of missing teeth which are permanent and economical.
So when you are weighing your options for the replacement of your missing teeth, it is always a good idea to talk and discuss your options and concerns with your dentist. They can guide you to take the right decision and explain the pros and cons of the option which is suitable for you in detail.
