Why Choose Dental Implants Over Bridges And Dentures

During the last few decades, dental innovations have created a more comprehensive range of treatment options, making it easier than ever before to preserve our natural teeth. In some cases, a tooth may be so badly damaged or decayed that extraction is the only viable option to maintain its health. Other times, a tooth may fall out on its own.

Regardless of why tooth loss has occurred, it can cause a range of problems for the patient. Not only can they suffer from embarrassment and self-consciousness, but they may also lose some functionality of their mouth.

For many years, dentures and bridges have been the go-to solution for missing teeth. Complete dentures can replace an entire arch of missing teeth, while partial dentures and bridges fill one or several gaps. Each treatment has several limitations of compromising elements. Dental implants are resolving many of these issues and are an effective alternative to dentures and bridges.

Why Are Dental Implants Better than Dentures or Bridges?

Dental implants are becoming an increasingly popular solution over dentures and bridges because of their unique benefits, including:

  • Strength

    Dental implants are one of the strongest restorative solutions in dentistry today. This is because the titanium post fuses to the jawbone, creating an ultra-strong foundation for the prosthetic tooth.

    By comparison, dentures are relatively fragile and can easily break if dropped. While bridges are a permanent solution, excessive force can cause the abutment teeth (which support the bridge and holds it in place) to strain, putting them at risk of fracturing or falling out.

  • Permanence and Discretion

    One of the biggest problems with dentures is that they’re removable. Despite using adhesive pastes to hold them in place, many patients who wear them find that they tend to slip, especially while eating or speaking. This can cause embarrassment and self-esteem problems, leading the person to avoid social situations. It’s also necessary to remove the dentures to clean them.

    Dental implants are a permanent solution. Once they’re fitted, they behave like your natural teeth. – you can brush, floss, and care for them in the same way. Dental implants won’t slip like dentures and are discreet.

  • Aesthetic Appearance

    Dental implants provide the closest possible esthetic resemblance to natural teeth. In fact, many patients say they’re so convincing that no one knows they have false teeth unless they tell someone!

  • Deters Further Tooth Loss

    Unfortunately, if there’s a problem with a tooth in a dental bridge or the bridgework needs to be replaced, the supporting teeth may be adversely affected. Dental implants don’t rely on any neighboring teeth for support.

  • Preserves the Strength of Your Jawbone

    Dental implants promote healthy bone growth and reinforce your jawbone. This will help maintain the definition of your face and keep you looking younger for longer.
