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.
Refer below a quick reckoner of benefits comparing Dental Implants with Bridges and Dentures, for missing teeth:
Benefits
Dental Implants
Dental Bridges
Dentures
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.
Why Dr. Gowds? The success rate of implants at 98% is a byproduct of highly skilled and experienced dentists and advanced technology used at Dr. Gowds. Hundreds of reviews and testimonials vouch for Dr. Gowds Dental Implant treatment.
