What is the difference between dental implants and veneers?

The biggest difference between dental implants and veneers is that dental implants do not require wear and tear on the teeth in front and behind, whereas veneers require wear and tear on the neighboring teeth, with the help of the neighboring teeth. A dental implant is a dental implant that is placed in the alveolar bone and acts as a root to support the tooth, and dental implants are more effective. Dental veneers are made by grinding small adjacent teeth and making three crowns at the same time, which is equivalent to building a bridge with two teeth and driving three teeth to work with the strength of two teeth. Dental implants and veneers for missing teeth play a restorative role, can restore the patient's ability to chew, but the price of dental implants is more expensive. Dental restoration is recommended to go to a regular hospital for treatment, so as not to affect the results.

Dental implant (Dental implant) refers to a kind of implanted bone tissue as the basis of the lower structure to support, fixed upper dental restorations of missing teeth restoration. It consists of two parts, the lower supporting implant and the upper dental restoration, and is mainly used for the treatment of defective and missing teeth.

Features

1. Strong function: it can restore the function of teeth well, and the chewing function is much better than other traditional dentures.

2. No teeth grinding: rely on their own artificial tooth roots for restoration, without grinding the healthy teeth next to them, without any harm to the teeth.

3. Good retention: without the use of traditional denture rings or braces, the artificial tooth roots are tightly bonded to the alveolar bone and rooted in the oral cavity like real teeth, with strong retention and stability.

4. Dental implants are aesthetically pleasing: crowns can be made according to the shape of the patient's face, the shape and color of other teeth, achieving the best overall coordination and aesthetics.

5. Comfortable and convenient: without the use of the necessary abutments and rings of movable dentures, there is no sense of foreign body, very comfortable, convenient, and conducive to maintaining oral hygiene.

6. Simple operation: Dental implant surgery is a small alveolar surgery, similar to tooth extraction, using local anesthesia, trauma is small, you can eat after surgery, almost painless. Generally speaking, the implant implantation surgery only takes a few minutes to a few hours to complete. Due to the use of biomaterials that are highly compatible with the human body, dental implants do not have any adverse side effects on the human body. If the osseointegration of the dental implant fails, that is, the dental implant is not successful, it can also be removed later to wait for the bone to heal and then do the implantation, or change to other restorative methods.
