LIFETIME: Implants last a lifetime an overdenture with two or more implants(4) will hold the denture inplace more than a denture alone.Best investment you could make.

Many: Comfort, function, speech, esthetics, and maintenance of remaining bone. Especially at your young age, the preservation of bone is critical for you to have function in your 70 - 90's. Think of how much you have lost since your 20's. Implants with a fixed set of teeth provide incredible improvements for you . You will be able to eat better and be much more confident , and healthier.

Comfort and Function: Dental implants will afford you the ability to eat what you want to eat, while giving you the confidence and comfort you deserve. At your young age, you should be thinking of the long term. If you don't pursue dental implants now, you may require more extensive bone grafting and expense in order to do it later. What more important person in the world is there than you? You deserve it !

Improve Taste & Chew: A Maxillary Denture covers a number a taste buds found throughout the Palate. You will enjoy the texture and true taste of a variety of foods by not covering a portion of the denture bearing area. Slipping and loosening of the appliance will not arise. You will be able to chew any food imaginable- nuts, bagels, even an apple!
