Retaining That Smile & Not Losing it!

There are various options available for replacing teeth these days with dentures and dental implants being the two most common.

Whilst there are benefits to both dentures and implants we would never have listed 'guaranteed not to get lost' as a benefit to dental implants, yet when you read the following it seems it could be.

Jaime O'Brien lost everything she was unable to pack into the car before wildfires destroyed her mobile home and shop last weekend. But she was still able to joke about forgetting her teeth and other essentials."There was so much smoke and we started piling clothes in our car, but we missed things like my teeth,”

According to various hotels the top ten list of things left behind by false teeth is one of the most common items to be left behind in hotel rooms by guests. In one case, a guest holidaying in Barcelona requested the hotel send his denture back to the UK.

quality dentures aren't cheap so unless you have them insured we would suggest you keep a close eye on them. As dental implants are a permanent fixture in the mouth losing them could never happen, although I really don't think this would ever be used as a deciding factor when choosing implants over dentures.

Which tooth replacement option is best for you will be determined by your oral and general health, your lifestyle, your age and your budget. To discuss the options available we would always advise you book a free consultation with a dental professional who will be able to advise you.
