Dentures vs implants

    I got a bridge on my teeth which has since collapsed. I had it a few years.

    I'm now facing either dentures or implants.

    I'm not sure even if I can get the implants as I have little bone left.

    The cost of implants is astronomical.

    I'm thinking dentures instead. Any advice?

    Find out first if the bone is there for implants, if it isn’t, your choice will become more clear cut. If the bone is there, then the clinic will be able to provide you with a treatment plan and costs, which you can then consider.

    You won’t be able to make a decision until you have the information necessary to make it. There is no doubt that there is a vast difference in costs between dentures and implants, but there is also an equally vast difference in both the treatment, and the result.

    Thanks. I'm inclined towards dentures as the last time the dentist mentioned implants I was looking at 6k.

    I know they have payment plans but 6k is still 6k.
