Are Dentures Better
Than Implants?
Neither is universally better — the right choice depends on your health, budget and priorities.
When Dentures Win
Dentures (from £714) are better if: budget is limited, you need to replace many teeth quickly, your jawbone cannot support implants without grafting, or your health prevents surgery.
When Implants Win
Implants (from £2,500) are better if: you want a permanent solution, you want to preserve jawbone, you want maximum comfort and function, or you find dentures uncomfortable.
The Middle Ground
Implant-retained dentures (from £4,200) combine the affordability of dentures with the stability of implants — 2-4 implants anchor your denture securely.
