7 Compelling Reasons to Choose Conventional Dentures Over Implant-supported Dentures for Tooth Replacement
Traditional dentures or implant-support dentures? When facing tooth loss, patients have many options. Our Shandley Kane Dental team in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, educates patients on their options to ensure they choose the most appropriate for their unique needs. Below are a few more common reasons some patients choose conventional dentures over implant-supported dentures or bridges.
1. Cost-Effective Solution
One of the main reasons patients choose conventional dentures over implant-supported dentures is the cost difference. Regular dentures are typically much more affordable than dental implants, making them a more attractive option for those on a budget. However, if you want to consider implant-supported restorations, we offer financing and payment plans to make them more attainable for those who desire them.
2. Non-invasive procedure
Unlike implants, which require surgery and implanting into the jawbone, traditional dentures are non-invasive. This means that patients do not have to undergo surgical procedures, which can be intimidating for some.
3. Quick and easy process
Getting regular dentures is generally quicker and easier than getting implant-supported dentures. Once the initial impressions and measurements are completed, regular dentures can usually be made in just a few weeks. In contrast, dental implants may require several months to heal and fully integrate with the jawbone before a denture can be placed on them.
4. No recovery time
No recovery time is necessary since standard dentures are not a surgical procedure. Patients can immediately begin using their new dentures without waiting for any healing.

5. Removable option
Although dental implants typically offer a more permanent solution for missing teeth, some patients may prefer removable dentures for their flexibility. A key benefit of removable dentures is that they are easy to clean and maintain; they can be removed for a thorough cleaning of both the dentures and the gums beneath, which helps to improve oral hygiene.
6. Suitable for patients with health conditions
Some patients, such as those with weakened immune systems or certain health conditions, might not be suitable candidates for dental implants due to the risk of complications. In these cases, traditional dentures may be a safer and more practical option.
7. Less invasive follow-up care
After receiving dentures, follow-up care typically involves simple adjustments and occasional relining. Implants, on the other hand, require more specialized care to keep them in good condition.
Where can I find a dentist for conventional dentures near me?
