What are the advantages and disadvantages of dental implants?

At present, the cost of implant denture in China is mainly related to the choice of implant. The implantation cost of European and American systems is about 12000 in first-tier cities and 6000-8000 in Korea.

As for the pros and cons, we can only talk briefly:

1, the advantages of implants are that the masticatory ability is the highest among all dentures, which is about 98% (compared with natural teeth), 95% for fixed bridges and 70-85% for removable dentures.

2. Traditionally, the damage of dental implants is the smallest, and the self-compensation and repair ability from jaws is the strongest in the body. Except for the implantation of autogenous bone denture, most of them make implants at the position where the jaw is missing to complete the implantation operation, which can also be called minimally invasive surgery.

3. The implant is comfortable and feels close to natural teeth.

Generally speaking, the disadvantages of dental implants are not important.

Dental implant treatment takes a long time, generally about 3 months, which is longer than one week for fixed bridges and removable dentures.

The cost of dental implant is generally 2-6 times that of traditional restoration.

It is not easy to restore gingival papilla without flap operation, which will cause the contact line between crown edge and gum to be unnatural.

Because dental implants are implanted in bone, there are strict requirements for sterility, but the oral cavity is a pure bacterial environment, which is more susceptible to infection than other restoration methods.

Dental implants require high jaw conditions, and not everyone is suitable for dental implants.

2% people reject metal implants and the failure rate of surgery.

It is precisely because of the use of metal implants in the body that implants have a certain impact on maxillofacial examination.
