Dental implants, which are implants (artificial tooth roots) placed in the alveolar bone of the missing tooth area, replace the lost natural tooth roots and form a good and stable bond with the alveolar bone; subsequently, artificial crowns are restored on the basis of the implants, which are known as the third set of human teeth. There are many methods to restore missing teeth – tooth roots, but the most ideal method is the dental implant restoration. Dental implants are the closest to natural teeth, beautiful, comfortable and natural, less invasive, basically painless, and the general surgery time is 15-20 minutes per tooth. Dental implants are the preferred method and trend for restoring missing teeth, and have become one of the mainstream methods for restoring missing teeth in developed countries in Europe and America. Advantages of dental implants: 1. Similar in appearance to natural teeth, very beautiful. 2. Similar comfort to natural teeth, close integration with alveolar bone and gums, no need to remove. 3. Restoring the bite function of natural teeth The bite force of dentures is only 1/20 of that of natural teeth, while the bite force of dental implants is close to that of natural teeth and can chew harder food. 4. Protect the neighboring teeth: Porcelain bridge restoration requires grinding the crowns of the neighboring teeth, which damages the neighboring teeth, while dental implants are only implanted in the missing tooth area, which will not damage the neighboring teeth. 5. Get rid of the inconvenience of movable dentures: Implants can get rid of the inconvenience caused by movable dentures such as gum pain, foreign body sensation, odor, and pronunciation impact. 6.Increase the retention of full dentures: Dental implants can better fix full dentures and make them more solid. 7, maintain healthy alveolar bone: long-term use of traditional dentures can cause alveolar bone atrophy. Implants placed in the missing tooth area can increase the bone density of the alveolar bone in the area and reduce bone resorption. 8. Compared with traditional dentures, dental implants make it easier for you to feel the deliciousness and delicacy of food, thus improving your taste of life. 9. Cheaper: Dental implants are semi-permanent restorations that last 20-30 years or more for normal use. Generally, porcelain bridges need to be replaced in 5-10 years to repair missing teeth. So dental implants are more durable and cost effective. 10. To sacrifice healthy teeth for missing teeth is not worth advocating. Porcelain teeth last about 5-10 years, and it is at the expense of one’s good teeth. In the long run, dental implants are the most ideal and cost effective option. The dental implant indications: At present, the indications for dental implants are very wide, and most people can have dental implants. 16-80 years old, only the healthier, no serious heart disease, diabetes and other systemic diseases, no obvious local inflammation, can have dental implants. Dental implants are also available for people over 80 years of age as long as they are in good health. Dental implant procedure: When studying implant technology in the United States, we found that dental implants have become the preferred restoration method for patients with tooth loss in the United States, and have become the mainstream means of dental restoration and the basis of restoration.
