Aloha to Your New Smile: Dentures vs. Dental Implants

Aloha! At Aloha Dental in Silverdale, WA, we believe every smile deserves to shine bright. Whether you’re missing a tooth or several, we’ve got you covered with two amazing options to restore your smile: dentures and dental implants. Both will bring back your confidence, but which one is the right fit for your lifestyle? Let’s explore these two great choices and help you say “Aloha!” to a new, beautiful smile.


Dentures: Comfort, Confidence, and a Bright Smile

Let’s start with dentures – the classic choice to restore your smile and help you enjoy all your favorite foods again. If you’re missing all or some of your teeth, dentures could be the perfect solution. Plus, they’re custom-designed to match your smile!


At Aloha Dental, we offer two types of dentures:

  • Complete Dentures: If you’re missing all your teeth, complete dentures restore both function and aesthetics, so you can speak, eat, and smile comfortably.
  • Partial Dentures: If you still have some natural teeth, partial dentures step in to fill the gaps, keeping your remaining teeth from shifting and improving your chewing and speaking abilities.


We also offer two styles for your convenience:

  • Immediate Dentures: These are ready to go right after your teeth are removed – no waiting around, just a quick and easy smile transformation!
  • Conventional Dentures: After your gums heal (usually 8 to 12 weeks after tooth extraction), we craft dentures that are tailor-made to fit perfectly and feel comfortable.


While dentures are easy to get and maintain, they may need to be adjusted from time to time for that perfect fit. And let’s face it – some people find them a little less stable than other options. But don’t worry, we’re here to make sure your dentures look and feel great every step of the way!


Dental Implants: Aloha to a Permanent, Strong Smile

Now, let’s talk about dental implants. If you’re looking for something that feels and functions just like your natural teeth, implants are a fantastic choice. Imagine never having to worry about your teeth slipping or needing adjustments. Sounds pretty amazing, right?


Dental implants are surgically placed into your jawbone, creating a strong foundation for your new teeth. Since they fuse with your bone, they provide a permanent and super reliable solution. Here’s why dental implants might be your perfect match:

  • Strong & Long-Lasting: With proper care, your dental implants can last a lifetime. They’re incredibly durable and won’t let you down when you’re eating, laughing, or smiling.
  • Natural Look & Feel: Implants look and feel like your natural teeth, giving you the confidence to smile wide without a second thought.
  • No Slipping or Sliding: Unlike dentures, dental implants are fixed in place and won’t move around when you talk or eat. You’ll enjoy complete stability.
  • Prevents Bone Loss: When you lose a tooth, your jawbone can begin to shrink. Implants help maintain your jaw’s structure and prevent further bone loss.

The process takes a little longer since it involves surgery, but the result is well worth the wait. If you’re looking for a hassle-free, long-term solution, dental implants could be the way to go.
