Dentures vs Implants for Seniors: Which Is Better?
Age alone doesn't rule out implants. Here's the decision framework.
Dr. Ahmed Al-Rashid
Medical Director
Dentures
Removable, lower cost (AED 3,500–8,000), quicker treatment, but less stable and less bone preserved.
Implants
Fixed or retained, higher cost (AED 15,000–120,000), better bone preservation, better chewing, lasts decades.
Best of both
Implant-retained denture (2–4 implants snap in denture): AED 15,000–40,000.
