Why Choose Implants over Other Treatments?
Dental bridges and dentures have been the go-to
treatments for missing teeth for the longest time, until dental implants
emerged as the most sought-after option. Several patients seem to love their
dental implants as against other tooth restoration methods because they come
with many unique benefits
and advantages that far outweigh other treatment
options for missing teeth. Tooth replacement by Dental Implants is the only prosthesis that comes
closest to nature.

Cost-Effectiveness
|
Dental Implants cost more than both dental
bridges and dentures because of high quality treatment that may last a life
time with good oral care.
|
Dental bridges offer a quick solution for
missing tooth at affordable cost, but are
not long lasting. You may have to spend again for replacement within a few
years
|
Dentures are relatively affordable treatment
for missing teeth that are customizable, but may not last more than 7 years.
Not worth the cost spent considering other inconveniences.
|
|
Appearance
|
Dental implants are permanently fused to your
jawbone as they are made of titanium posts. They do not shift; look and feel
natural with crowns. Does not affect neighboring teeth
|
Dental bridges are custom-made for each
patient and may need filing down of neighboring teeth irreversibly to fit the
bridge.
|
Dentures are not perfectly crafted for your
mouth and may appear bulky. They tend to shift and move while talking or
eating making you feel conscious of it
|
|
Durability
|
Implants have the potential to last a
life-time provided proper oral care is maintained. Neighboring teeth are not
affected. They halt further bone loss, are more stable, durable &
comfortable.
|
The longevity of dental bridges are dependent
on the health of the neighboring teeth. If these teeth are compromised
bridges are no longer usable.
|
Dentures last for 5 - 10 years before they
need to be replaced. Dentures are removable, therefore lead to wear and tear of
the teeth and inconvenient.
|
Additional Benefits of Implants: Additionally, Dental Implants offer various long-term advantages over other treatment options like stability, improved appearance, speech, oral health, confidence levels and convenience. In the case of implants the neighboring teeth remain intact unlike in bridges where the healthy adjacent teeth would need trimming or shaping or removal of the natural enamel questionable in today’s line of treatment and age.
Dr. Vikas Gowd (Maxillofacial and Implantologist) says, “A lot of patients today dislike the idea of getting their healthy teeth trimmed to support a missing tooth, since we have better options like implants the relative indications for a bridge become very less.”
Implants also provide
a strong base for fixed (permanent) teeth. Further, for busy people, single day
implants are made possible with the additional benefits of saving time and
effort for the patient.
