BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS – WHY SHOULD YOU NEED THAT?

Dental Implants have significant benefits over the traditional prosthesis

Nowadays, there are several options to replace missing teeth. While traditional dentures have been the most common solution for many decades, the combination of modern dentistry and new technology offers new possibilities. Comparable results can be with dental implant-based dentures. Whether it is a single tooth or multiple, possibly complete, missing teeth, the benefits of dental implant replacement are indisputable. We would say that dental implants are the best solution known today. When implantation occurs with an implant, all the common problems with traditional adhesive prostheses are avoidable.

How do dentures and dental implants work together?
Traditional dentures are to fit the periodontal spine covered with soft tissue, the gums. When a
the tooth is lost, the quality of the bone around the missing tooth continues to deteriorate. That is due to the lack of stimulation of the jawbone, which is usually provided by the tooth roots. In the case of a traditional prosthesis, only one narrow surface is available to support and fix the denture. Among other things, this is why traditional dentures loosen relatively quickly and are rarely stable enough. One consequence is gingivitis caused by the constant rubbing of unstable dentures.

The benefits of dental implants over traditional dentures are enormous. A dental implant is a screw made of high-purity titanium alloy designed to behave like a natural tooth root when implanted in the jawbone. Over time, the bone tissue around the dental implants heals, which means that the implant becomes part of the jawbone. The dentures do not rely on the gums but on the implants, providing excellent stability and functionality for the dentures attached to them.

Although not currently the main topic, we should mention that two-implant families and implantation methods have become widespread in recent decades. One is the so-called conventional two-phase implant; the other is a one-phase implant, in other words, an immediate loading implant. Although each is an artificial root, there is a significant difference between the two implants and the implantation method.

Here are some of the benefits of dental implants.

Simple and safe
One of the most common problems with traditional dentures is that they are difficult to hold firmly, especially on the upper jaw. Combining dentures with implants provides a much more effective alternative to fixing dentures. The dental implant firmly secures the denture by keeping denture firmly, providing good bite, chewing, speech, and a confident smile. All this without worry about the denture possibly slipping out of your mouth…

Incomparably better functionality, higher aesthetic value
As mentioned earlier, tooth loss can lead to bone loss if the missing teeth are not replaced as soon as possible. When bone condition begins to deteriorate, it will negatively affect the functions of the mouth and the appearance of the face. Another concern is that adjacent teeth also become vulnerable, developing gum disease and caries. In the case of traditional dentures, it is difficult to avoid these problems. At the same time, another benefit of dental implants is that they can help maintain the structural integrity of the jaw.

Final solution
As implants become part of the jawbone over time, a prosthesis with an implant permanently solves the problems caused by missing teeth. Bridges and prostheses made with the traditional denture method need to be fixed or replaced after a few years. The denture fixed on the implants is for life.

We have learned the differences between conventional dentures and implant-based dentures. We have mentioned some of the benefits of dental implants. There has also been talking that tooth loss is not just an aesthetic problem, as partial or complete loss of tooth functionality can pose a severe health risk.

BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS – IS IT WORTH CHOOSING IT? (PART 2)

There are major benefits of dental implants you may not know about it

In the first part of the article, we talked about the benefits of dental implants in general, suggesting that this is a much better solution to replace missing teeth than a traditional removable prosthesis. We also talked about the benefits of dental implants over conventional prostheses. Finally, we learned a lot about two-phase implants and implantation methods. In this section, we will focus on one-phase immediate-loading implants.

When we talk about the benefits of dental implants and compare the two common implantation methods, we find almost as much difference as between implantation and traditional removable dentures. Although both types of implants serve the same purpose in terms of end-use, there are huge differences between the two in terms of implants and implantation methods.

In the first part, we talked in detail about the advantages of two-phase implants over traditional removable dentures, now let's take a look at the one-phase immediate-loading implants. These implants have a number of advantages that are not typical of either the removable prosthesis or two-phase implants-based dentures. Let's look at some of these.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of single-phase implants is that the dentures made with these implants are completed in a very short time. An oral rehabilitation, which consists of complete lower and upper dentures, only needs to appear 3-4 times in the dental office. The 4th time is just for checking and making minor refinements and adjustments if needed.

Another noteworthy advantage of a single-phase implant is that it can also be used in patients for whom a two-phase implant is out of the question due to poor bone quality or significant bone deficiency. Immediate loading implants are designed to be able firmly to secure the denture in case of bone deficiency too. Another important difference is that single-phase implants are made in many different shapes and forms so that the most suitable one for the respective bone condition can be chosen.

Among the benefits of dental implants (one-phase), it needs to be mentioned the implantation itself too. While two-phase implant implantation means a more serious oral surgery, the one-phase implantation is much easier and much simpler. For example, it is not necessary to incised the entire gum, implant the so-called healing screws, then re-suture the incised gum. And when the 3 to 6 month of ossification time is up, the gum needs to be incised again, remove the healing-screws to continue the implantation process.

In this two-part article, we briefly summarized the benefits of dental implants comparing the two main teeth replacement methods as traditional adhesive dentures and implant-fixed dentures. We have demonstrated with several examples of what huge differences there are between the two types of dentures in favor of implants.

The benefits of dental implants have their own disadvantage, which has not been discussed so far, and this is the price, which is relatively high. Relatively, because if we take into consideration the problems with adhesive dentures and the extra costs, we realize that they are not so expensive ... What you save on the cost of implant dentures, you pay for the costs of going to the dentist repeatedly over time. All in all, the value for money for implant dentures is much better!
