Advantages :
People are now living longer lives than ever before.
Therefore, it would seem prudent to seek a quality dental
replacement that is going to last you for the rest of your
life. While dentures and removable bridges are usually loose
and unstable, dental implants are both natural looking and
extremely functional. Dental implants will look and feel much
better than any kind of removable bridges. They will also
offer the same biting force as any kind of fixed bridges.
Single tooth implants are strong, require less care and will
look and feel just like natural teeth. There is no longer
any reason to be embarrassed by a missing tooth. With modern
dentistry techniques it is possible for everyone to have a
beautiful smile. |
Disadvantages :
Dental implants
are a major investment and not without risk. The extensive
use of implants can cost tens of thousands of dollars to
achieve the best results. If you require a number of
dental implants the procedure can be very time consuming. The
placement of dental implant is a very complicated surgical
procedure and we cannot stress the importance of seeking out
a well credited cosmetic dentist that you personally, are
comfortable with. For some people there can be varying
degrees of discomfort or pain but this usually subsides in a
couple of days. As with many other types of surgery,
bruising and minor swelling may also develop shortly after
the procedure. The implant itself will last you a lifetime
but the crown (false tooth placed on top) will need to be
replaced in ten to fifteen years. |
