How are dental implants better than traditional dentures?

Dental implants are known as the third pair of teeth for human beings, and they are a kind of bionic teeth made of biological materials. Compared with traditional removable dentures, fixed dentures and other restoration methods, dental implants have incomparable advantages over traditional denture technology.

1. Do not damage adjacent teeth. Porcelain bridge is one of the traditional ways to restore missing teeth, but it needs to grind down the healthy teeth on both sides of the missing teeth, which damages the adjacent teeth, and the damage to the adjacent teeth is also irreversible. Dental implants only need to be implanted in the alveolar bone of the missing tooth, and the adjacent teeth are not involved or damaged.

2. Stable and reliable. The implant and the alveolar bone can be firmly combined, very firm, as strong as the natural tooth root, and rooted in the mouth like a real tooth.

3. Adapt to a wider range of people. If there is no tooth in the mouth or the back part of the molar area is completely missing, only removable dentures can be done in the past. However, removable dentures are unsatisfactory in terms of aesthetics, comfort, and chewing function. However, through dental implants, not only single or multiple missing teeth can be repaired, but half-mouth full teeth can also be repaired with fixed dentures.

4. Protect the gums and alveolar bone. Dental implants can effectively prevent the resorption of the alveolar bone and the atrophy of the gums. The resorption and atrophy of the gums and alveolar bones can easily lead to the collapse of the corners of the mouth, and the aging of the face is also obvious. Dental implants can well delay the aging of the face.

5. The restoration principle is more scientific. The biomechanical principle of dental implants is the same as that of real teeth, which transmits the chewing force to the alveolar bone, so dental implants can withstand strong forces and chew more efficiently. In the traditional porcelain bridge, the retainer is pasted and fixed on the ground small natural teeth on both sides of the gap between the missing teeth, and the natural teeth are used as support to transmit the chewing pressure, which increases the burden on the natural teeth and affects the use. life.
