Compared with the technology of making bridges and dental implants, the implant has many advantages, such as preserving the jaw bone, preventing bone loss, giving you beautiful teeth.
Compare bridges and implant teeth
- Dental Bridges:
Previously, bridgework was one of the primary methods for treating patients who lost one or more teeth. However, this technique has some disadvantages such as:
+ Impact on the adjacent teeth: The two missing teeth adjacent to the teeth will be small grinding and crown to become the abutment to support the new bridge to replace the missing teeth. Teeth can be weakened and plaque around if you do not clean your teeth.
+ Does not prevent bone loss: When the tooth loss, the bone begins to drain. Tooth bridge restoration only function and aesthetic, cannot restore the aesthetic gums. In the case of multiple front teeth loss, after bridging the teeth still have bone loss due to bone.
+ Long bridge life expectancy: The durability of the bridge depends on the piercing teeth. A good bridge has a life expectancy of 5-7 years, then it needs to be replaced.
Dental implants:
Cylindrical implant is placed directly into the bone where the tooth is lost and does not affect the adjacent teeth. Besides, this technique targets also prevent bone shrinkage and can last a lifetime if properly implanted and good hygiene care. Thus, the implant is considered the surgical approach is superior compared with bridge dentures.
Dental Implant or denture better?
- Insert denture:
+ Chewing ability: Compared to real teeth, the chewing ability of the denture is much reduced, only about 15-23% compared with real teeth. Chewiness makes you lazy, affecting your health and your work.
Reduced appetite: People who use dentures are not as good as appetite like real teeth. In addition, in the restoration of the upper jaw, the jaw base will cover the entire rump in the oral cavity, thereby reducing the sensitivity of the taste.
+ Entanglement: At the beginning, patients will find entangled in the mouth, difficult to pronounce and need time to adapt to dentures. If the hygiene of the denture is not good, it causes a foul odor, causing the patient to feel uncomfortable in the mouth and throat.
+ Low life expectancy: Removal function has an average life expectancy of about 5 years due to plastic degradation. When the jaw is diluted, the jaw can become loose or break when dropped, crushed. At this time, you have to replace the new denture.
- Benefits of dental Implant:
This technique will overcome the disadvantages when removing the denture. Teeth are fixed in place, healthy as real teeth, long life expectancy can last a lifetime and give patients a sense of appetite. Furthermore, implant implants prevent bone loss, facial deformity and help patients stay confident in their daily lives.
Note: the efficacy of the treatment can vary depending on each patient’s condition.
