Pros and Cons of Dentures
Dentures have been around for a long time. They’re a common solution for missing teeth — especially when you’re looking for something cheap. But are they really the best option for your health and quality of life?
Pros of Dentures
- Lower upfront cost – Dentures often seem to be the cheaper option, and they can be at first. Some insurance plans, Medicaid, or Medicare may even cover them.
- Non-surgical – If you’re scared of surgery or not healthy enough for it, dentures can seem like a simple fix.
- Quick to get – You can often get dentures made in just a few weeks.
Denture Cons
- They often don’t stay in place – Many people struggle with dentures moving around or even falling out when eating or talking.
- Uncomfortable to wear – Dentures can rub against your gums, cause sores, or feel bulky in your mouth.
- Hard to eat with – It can be tough to chew certain foods like steak, apples, or corn on the cob.
- Loss of taste – Upper dentures cover the roof of your mouth, which can make food taste bland or different.
- Bone loss – Dentures sit on top of your gums and don’t keep your jawbone strong. Over time, your face may look sunken or older.
- Need to be replaced – Most dentures need to be replaced or adjusted every few years.
Dentures may seem like the easiest or cheapest choice. But for many people, they can come with pain, limits, and a lot of daily frustration. If you already wear dentures, you probably know this feeling well. The good news is that there is a better way.
Pros and Cons of Dental Implants
Dental implants are a modern, long-term solution for failing or missing teeth. Instead of sitting on your gums like dentures, implants are placed into your jawbone, acting like real tooth roots.
At Nuvia, you get full mouth dental implants — also called full arch — to replace all your upper or lower teeth with permanent, custom-made teeth.
Pros
- Secure and permanent – Implants don’t move. You can talk, smile, and eat without worry.
- Feel like real teeth – No plastic covering your gums or roof of your mouth. Just a solid, comfortable fit.
- Eat what you want – Crunchy, chewy, or sticky foods are back on the menu.
- Look natural – Your new teeth are made just for you.
- Protect your jawbone – Implants keep your bone healthy and help prevent that “sunken face” look that often accompanies dentures.
- Low maintenance – You brush your implants just like real teeth. No soaking or special pastes.
- Built to last – With proper care, dental implants are built to last a lifetime.
Cons
- Higher upfront cost – Implants are more expensive than dentures at first, but it’s very possible for them to cost less in the long run.
- Surgery is required – Implant placement is a surgical procedure. But with the right team and a CRNA to keep you comfortably asleep, you won’t feel a thing.
- Getting your final teeth with dental implants takes time with most providers – Many places give you temporary teeth first and make you wait months for the permanent set.
If you want a long-term, stable, and natural-looking solution, dental implants are a powerful choice. They protect your health, improve your confidence, and give you the freedom to enjoy life again. For many people, they’re truly life-changing.
Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours
Most people think getting dental implants takes 6 months or longer. That’s true at many clinics — especially if they give you temporary teeth first. But at Nuvia, your experience is totally different.
At Nuvia you can get your permanent, zirconia teeth in just 24 hours after surgery. No temporary healing teeth, no waiting, and no extra procedures later.
How is this possible?
- In-house dental lab at every location – Your teeth are custom made on-site, not sent off to a faraway lab.
- Three-provider approach – You get a full team including a surgeon, restorative dentist, and anesthesia provider (CRNA).
- No temporary teeth – We design and place your final, beautiful teeth right away — not months later.
- 24 hours isn’t “too fast.” It’s just finally fast enough.
We believe when you're ready for your new smile, you shouldn’t have to wait months in plastic temporaries to feel like yourself again.
Summary
Choosing between dentures & dental implants is a big decision. And we know it’s not just about teeth — it’s about your life. Your confidence, your health and your future.
If you’re tired of hiding your smile… struggling to eat what you love… or feeling stuck in a set of dentures that just doesn’t fit your life anymore — it might be time to look into something better.
You deserve to feel good when you smile. And with permanent teeth in 24 hours, you can.
