Tooth loss affects millions of Americans each year—but thanks to modern dentistry, you have excellent options for restoring your smile. At Sekhon Dental – Dentist Agoura Hills, we often see patients wondering: “Should I choose dental implants or dentures?”
With our in-house periodontist, Dr. Jon Akhavan, we provide advanced solutions for missing teeth right here in our office—no referrals, no extra appointments elsewhere.
Dentures: A Traditional Solution
Dentures are removable prosthetics that replace missing teeth.
Benefits of Dentures:
-
More affordable upfront
-
Can be made quickly
-
Restore appearance and basic function
Drawbacks of Dentures:
-
Can slip while eating or talking
-
Require daily removal and adhesives
-
Do not prevent bone loss in the jaw
Dental Implants: The Gold Standard
Dental implants are permanent replacements that look and function like natural teeth. A titanium post is placed in the jawbone, topped with a crown.
Benefits of Implants:
-
Stable, secure, and natural-looking
-
Help preserve jawbone and facial structure
-
Long-lasting (often decades with care)
-
No slipping, adhesives, or extra maintenance
Drawbacks of Implants:
-
Higher initial investment
-
Healing time required after surgery
-
Suitability depends on bone and gum health
