The advantages of dental implants: 1. It can hinder the resorption of alveolar bone. The resorption of alveolar bone does not occur often when there are teeth, but after losing teeth, the resorption of alveolar bone proceeds rapidly and the jawbone shrinks significantly. At this time, making dentures will put a burden on the alveolar bone. Compared with the time when dentures are not used, the resorption of about 20% of the alveolar bone proceeds faster, and dentures must be replaced once every few years, and the life expectancy is hardly more than 5 years. On the contrary, artificial dental implants can make the bone around the alveolar bone stronger, reduce the resorption, and play a role in maintaining the function of the alveolar bone. 2. No damage to other teeth. The filling procedure like the bridge method must scrape two healthy teeth on either side of the lost tooth, and these two teeth have to share the burden with the one that was filled after it was lost, therefore, it will reduce the life span of its teeth. The same goes for dentures, which hook on to the remaining teeth and can also play a damaging role in them. However, artificial dental implants are implemented independently, so they do not adversely affect the surrounding teeth. 3. Restoring chewing power. If we consider the maximum chewing capacity of healthy natural teeth as 100, the chewing force of partial dentures is 1 5 to 20, and complete dentures is 1 0 to 1 5, while artificial dental implants can play to 80 to 90 strength. 4. Restoring the taste when chewing. We can feel the taste when we eat because the teeth grow in the alveolar bone. When using dentures, the dentures rest on top of the gums and the chewing strength is much lower, so it is difficult to feel the taste. Artificial dental implants are implanted inside the alveolar bone, and although they are not as good as natural teeth, you can feel the taste when you chew. The longer the time, the more you can feel that 5. Less damage to the gums. Gingivitis and other phenomena often occur with dentures, but using artificial dental implants will reduce this risk. 6. No foreign body feeling. The denture itself has metal, which can pass through the palate or lower gum, and will have a foreign body feeling, but artificial dental implants are planted inside the alveolar bone, basically there is no foreign body feeling. 7. It can maintain the articulation between the teeth and make a person have a complete set of teeth. Since the broken teeth will damage the articulation between the teeth to a certain height. If you use dentures that rest on the gums, because the gums are not hard enough, the more the gums collapse over time, destroying the balance between the entire articulation. 8, will not cover the tissue. Dentures can cover the gums due to their structure, but artificial dental implants do not, but can correctly feel the temperature and texture of food. 9. Maintain a natural and beautiful appearance. When you use dentures, your lips protrude outward and muscle movement is restricted, making your expression unnatural. However, artificial dental implants, like natural teeth, are planted inside the alveolar bone and can maintain a natural look. 10. To give a sense of psychological security. Denture is a repair that can be pulled out at any time, and it can make a sound when eating or talking, so users often feel insecure and feel psychological pressure. However, there is no need to worry about this problem with artificial dental implants. 11. They do not cause pronunciation problems. The dentures are too big and shake in the mouth, causing difficulties in pronunciation. However, artificial dental implants are very similar to natural teeth and have no effect on pronunciation. 7 major maintenance of dental implants: Periodontal examination (treatment of periodontal disease) Minor periodontal disease only invades the gums, but if not treated early, it will spread to the deeper part and destroy the periodontium, alveolar bone and bone. People with periodontal disease must be treated before implantation, otherwise the bacteria from periodontal disease will probably invade the bone of the dental bed along the implant, resulting in bone loss and loss of the foundation around the implant, and the implant will fail. Bone quality assessment (bone filling technique) should be performed before implantation. Usually, the longer the tooth is missing, the more serious the bone deficiency will be. Once the width of the alveolar bone is not enough, it is better to guide bone regrowth or bone remodeling and bone regeneration before implantation, so that the condition of the bone in the dental cavity is sufficient for implantation. Generally speaking, synthetic bone powder or animal allograft bone from diseased plateau is used to make bone replacement; if necessary, it is even necessary to take bone graft from the patient’s jaw or alveolar bone behind the wisdom teeth through general anesthesia.
