Why Choose Dental Implants Over Bridges and Dentures?

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.
