——Advantages of dental implants over other dental protheses

1. Compared to a removable partial denture, dental implants completely avoid the trouble of removing the denture and putting it back on again. No attachments mean no interference with pronunciation and esthetics. Dental implants also last longer and cause no burden of nearby teeth and gingiva.

2. As previously mentioned, dental implants have their own roots independent of surrounding teeth. The most obvious advantage of dental implants over fixed bridges with no harm to the healthy adjacent teeth.

——The biggest advantage of dental implants

The biggest advantage of dental implants is that they are supported by independent, artificial roots. The occlusal force is conducted to the maxilla or mandible (jaw) though the roots just as with natural teeth. No harm comes to the adjacent teeth and nearby gingiva.

——What are the disadvantages of dental implants?

Compared with traditional dentures, dental implants have a longer duration of treatment, higher cost, and a more limited range of indications. Currently, medical experts are still improving the available technologies to shorten the course of treatment. With the emergence of new materials and technologies, the indications for dental implants are extending. Market competition provides more choices to patients in brands of implants and prices.
