Dental Implants Benefits

Most of the patients ask me whether it is worth undergoing surgical implant placement instead of going for a non-invasive bridge placement?

Yes!! It is definitely worth it!!

Dental bridges have been conventionally quite successful in replacing missing teeth. But there is no denying the fact that they do compromise the strength of the supporting teeth. But it is really hurtful to cut down a healthy tooth just to take support for replacing the missing teeth.

Though bridges are the considerable option, if using carious root canal treated teeth as supports, because anyways, they have to be crowned in the near future.

On the other hand, dental implant even replaces a single tooth. Hence the adjacent does not have to compromise. As in the case of dentures, they tend to slip but this is not with the dental implants. Implants fuse with the surrounding bone replicating the missing tooth root. It firmly holds the crown placed above. About the surgery that one needs to undergo for implant placement, it is a minor surgical procedure. It is performed just like any other walk-in procedures that we have in dentistry. Done under local anesthesia and almost as painless as a tooth extraction. Good company implants that we use, heal uneventfully, without much pain or swelling.

Thus, in today’s high speed, rapidly progressive world, why must one compromise on dental health. Implants are by far, a very successful treatment option for anyone and everyone. With proper care and follow ups, dental implants last for a lifetime. The benefits of dental implants clearly outweigh the benefits of a bridge.
