Benefits

1. They are the next greatest thing to healthy natural teeth

Implants are strong and stable and so they restore the missing tooth. Besides, an implant feels, fits, looks, and functions just like your natural teeth. Unlike other missing tooth options such as bridges and dentures that can cause bone deterioration, implants are safer and healthier. Bridges and dentures can also make smiling, eating, speaking, and other everyday life activities hard.

2. They are made to last long

If you want the best long term and cost effective solution to your lost tooth problem, then, an implant is the best option. It’s durable and if it’s taken good care off, it can last for a long time, giving you full value for money. Dental bridges last 5 to 7 years after which you have to get a replacement.

An Effective Solution To Dental Restoration

3. They allow you to move on with life like you would if you had all natural teeth

You don’t have to stay at home embarrassed and sad because your smile and speech is bad. Besides, you don’t have to worry like you would with removable dentures or replacement teeth when you eat, laugh or talk thinking they can fall off. Implants allow you, not your teeth, to live a life. Their success rate is way above 90% meaning the probability of an implant not functioning properly is extremely low.

4. With implants your healthy bone is protected

Empty spaces left by lost tooth can lead to other health issues like deterioration and loss of part of your jawbone. When the jawbone is not in use supporting a natural tooth, it deteriorates losing its firmness and strength. An effective solution to dental restoration is an implant as it stimulates and preserves the natural bone.

5. They allow you to give a flawless speech

You won’t be embarrassed when speaking like you would with dentures that are loose. Implants work just like your natural teeth.

RISKS

Downsides of Dental Implants

Dental implant is a surgery just like any other and so besides its many advantages or benefits, it has a downsides too. Although the issues are rare, when they happen they are normally minor and easy to treat. Here are the risks of implants:

  • Implant site infection: When a surgery is done, the part on which it has been performed on becomes vulnerable to attack.

Damage To The Other Teeth And Nerves

  • Damage to the nerves: This can cause tingling, pain or numbness in your natural teeth, chin, gums or lips.
  • Damage or injury to neighboring structures like blood vessels and other teeth.
  • Sinus problems: This can happen when the dental implant is put in the upper jaw and protrudes into one of the sinus cavities.

When you weigh the risks and the benefits of a dental implant, the benefits are many. However it is always advisable to consult a periodontist, oral surgeon or dentist before you agree to this option.
