Dentures Vs Implants: Can Dentures Stop Bone Loss?

The older you get, the more likely you are to see gaps and empty space in your smile. Sadly, complete tooth loss is not as rare as you may like to think; it’s estimated by the American College of Prosthodontists that as many as 30 percent of adults between the ages of 65 and 74 have no natural teeth. As such, when the time comes for you to get teeth replaced, you should be aware of the benefits and limitations of traditional dentures and dental implants. In particular, it’s important to be aware of the risks of bone loss and which restorations can be used for jawbone preservation.
