What is an Implant?
Dental implants are designed to replace missing teeth. Modern day titanium implants are very friendly to your body - they have a property known as "osseointegration." The term refers to the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of a load-bearing artificial implant. Unlike dentures, implants help to maintain bone volume and health. 
New replacement teeth attached to the implants are composed of three parts: the titanium implants that anchor into the jaw, the computer customized and milled titanium framework that attaches to the implants and the replacement teeth which protrudes from the gum line creating a restoration with a natural appearance and feel.
What is a Denture?
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth. It is made of plastic, sometimes in combination with various metals. The denture is secured with either a denture glue or paste. 
New denture wearers need time to get accustomed to their new "teeth" because dentures will feel awkward at first. Denture wearers often complain of discomfort and soreness accompanied by mouth sores and pain from the denture. Most patients notice a slight change in facial appearance, increased salivary flow, or speech difficulties. Patients also have problems eating while they are getting used to the denture. Bone loss is common in denture wearers. Dentures are easily broken and must be treated with care.
