Tooth loss is a condition that can occur at any age, not just in older adults but also in young individuals.
Long-term tooth loss can lead to serious consequences such as reduced chewing function, directly affecting digestion; jaw bone resorption and gum shrinkage, causing premature facial aging; remaining healthy teeth shifting out of position, leading to bite problems and tooth decay; affecting the nerves, causing temporomandibular joint disorder and headaches; inaccurate pronunciation and speech impediments, impacting communication.
In such cases, customers will choose methods to improve their tooth loss condition. However, dental implantation is the most advanced solution for replacing missing teeth, recommended by top experts for both single tooth replacement and full mouth restoration. So why do leading experts trust dental implants? Let’s explore more in the following article from Le Anh Dental Center.
06 OUTSTANDING ADVANTAGES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
1. Safe and Biocompatible Implant Posts
Authentic implant posts are made of 100% non-toxic Titanium, with high biocompatibility. They are directly implanted into the jawbone using surface treatment technology, ensuring successful integration.
2. Superior Chewing Function
The chewing function of dental implants is highly regarded by experts, as they can restore up to 99% of the natural biting force. There are no limitations when it comes to chewing, allowing you to enjoy hard and tough foods, just like with natural teeth, thanks to the secure integration of the implant post into the jawbone.
3. Minimized Bone Resorption
Jawbone resorption and premature facial aging often occur a few months after tooth loss when dentures or other methods like dental bridges or removable dentures fail to prevent bone loss.
Implant placement is the only method that can effectively minimize bone loss and address various dental issues following tooth loss, such as teeth shifting, bite misalignment, and premature facial aging. By placing the implant post inside the jawbone and attaching an abutment and dental crown on top, the implant acts as a natural tooth root, stimulating jawbone growth.
4. Independent Tooth Replacement without Involving Other Teeth
Unlike dental bridges, which require grinding down two adjacent teeth to support the bridge, dental implants are independently placed at the site of the missing tooth. They do not affect any other teeth, ensuring effective preservation of existing teeth without causing harm to neighboring ones.
5. High Aesthetics
Dental implant restoration replicates the shape and color of natural teeth so accurately that it is difficult to distinguish them from real teeth, resulting in high aesthetic outcomes.
6. Longevity
Once integrated into the jawbone, the implant post becomes a part of your body. With proper care from a skilled dentist, dental implants can last from 25 years to a lifetime.
03 "DRAWBACKS" OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
In addition to the outstanding advantages mentioned above, there are 3 “drawbacks” to consider when getting dental implants:
1. Requires a Highly Skilled and Experienced Dentist
The most important factor determining the success of each treatment case is the skill of the dentist. With complex techniques like dental implantation, it requires a high level of expertise and experience for the dentist to develop an appropriate treatment plan and ensure a fast, safe, and effective procedure using the most suitable methods.
2. Requires Modern Equipment
Modern equipment such as Cone Beam 3D CT scanners and implant placement machines are essential in supporting dentists during the implantation process, ensuring the best treatment outcomes. Additionally, they help shorten treatment time and reduce discomfort for the patients.
3. Cost and Pricing
The cost of dental implantation is slightly higher compared to other methods of tooth replacement, which may raise concerns for some customers. However, in the long run, dental implants are a superior method in terms of aesthetics and chewing function. Customers only need to invest in the treatment once and can enjoy the benefits for a lifetime without worrying about jawbone health or the condition of adjacent teeth.
When choosing dental implants for tooth restoration, it is important for customers to select reputable dental clinics that have modern equipment and skilled, experienced dentists to avoid any unexpected complications during the implantation process and subsequent use.
