Introduction – Why Tooth Replacement Matters for Dubai Residents
Missing teeth not only affect your smile but also your ability to chew, speak, and maintain good oral health. In Dubai, where lifestyle and confidence are key, choosing the right tooth replacement option is essential.
The two most common solutions are dental implants and dentures. While both restore function and aesthetics, they differ greatly in comfort, longevity, and investment. At Cello Dental Clinic Dubai, we help patients choose the best option based on their needs, budget, and long-term oral health goals.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They can be full (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing a few missing teeth).
Pros of Dentures:
- Affordable initial cost
- Non-surgical procedure
- Quick fabrication and fitting
- Easy to remove and clean
Cons of Dentures:
- Can feel loose or uncomfortable
- Require adhesives for stability
- Do not prevent jawbone loss
- Need replacement every 5–8 years
- May affect speech and chewing
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that involve placing a titanium post into the jawbone to act as a root. A crown is then fixed on top, creating a natural-looking and functional tooth.
Pros of Dental Implants:
- Permanent, long-lasting solution (20+ years)
- Look and feel like natural teeth
- Prevent jawbone deterioration
- Stable and secure (no slipping)
- Improve chewing efficiency
Cons of Dental Implants:
- Higher upfront cost
- Requires minor surgery
- Longer treatment time (healing & integration)
- May not be suitable for patients with insufficient bone density without grafting
Cost Comparison in Dubai
- Dentures: AED 1,500 – AED 4,000
- Dental Implants: AED 4,000 – AED 9,000 per tooth
Although implants cost more initially, they last much longer, making them more cost-effective in the long run.
Longevity & Maintenance
- Dentures: Typically last 5–8 years before needing replacement.
- Implants: Can last a lifetime with proper care.
Maintenance:
- Dentures must be removed daily for cleaning.
- Implants require the same care as natural teeth (brushing, flossing, dental checkups).
Health Benefits of Implants Over Dentures
- Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and facial sagging.
- Dentures may accelerate bone loss due to lack of stimulation.
- Implants improve digestion by allowing proper chewing, while dentures may limit food choices.
Who Is the Right Candidate?
- Dentures: Best for patients seeking a budget-friendly, non-surgical solution.
- Implants: Best for those wanting a permanent, natural solution and who have healthy gums and sufficient bone.
