What are the advantages and disadvantages of dental implants?

The advantages of dental implants are stability, increased comfort and good chewing power; Safe, will not fall off when eating or talking and cause danger; Permanent, artificial dental implants can have a long life; Beautiful and natural. The disadvantage is that it may cause some complications, including biological complications and mechanical complications. Biological complications, such as surgery-related bleeding, and mechanical complications, such as prosthesis damage.

Seven misunderstandings of dental implants:

1. For real teeth that can be saved through treatment, we should insist on treatment instead of considering tooth extraction at every turn;

2. This kind of dental implant is carried out on the basis of no root and needs artificial root.

3. When the teeth are implanted, titanium nails are punched in the remaining alveolar bone or jaw bone as artificial roots.

4. The service life of dental implants can reach at least 10 years, which is also related to everyone's usage habits and protection methods. Generally speaking, the implanted pure titanium artificial root is generally stable and does not need to be replaced, but it may need to be replaced if the crown of the implanted tooth is not well protected.

5, planting teeth, every place where teeth are extracted. Those elderly people who have lost a whole row of teeth or many teeth only need to implant a small number of teeth as a fixed support "pier", and the whole row of dentures will firmly act on the "pier".

6. Dental implant is actually a minor operation, and now it has developed into a minimally invasive operation. There is less postoperative bleeding and no swelling and pain. All missing teeth can be "implanted" at one time, and the pain and trauma are even less than that of tooth extraction.

7. Dental implantation can be completed at one time. In the past, dental implants had to pull out the roots, and artificial roots could only be implanted after three months, and crowns could only be installed after three months. In some cases, artificial roots and crowns can be implanted immediately after tooth extraction.
