Are there any disadvantages of choosing implant-supported dentures?

Are there any disadvantages of choosing implant-supported dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are certainly more costly than traditional, “gum-supported”
dentures. There is also a need for dental implant surgery to place the implants within the
jawbone which commands an additional cost. A period of healing can take anywhere from 3 to 6
months for the entire treatment to be completed from start to finish. You can continue wearing
your old dentures in the meantime.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
