What are the advantages and disadvantages of dental implants?

1, the dental implant is directly implanted into the missing tooth, and there is no need to polish the adjacent teeth on both sides, without any damage to the adjacent teeth on both sides.

2. Dental implants are fixed restorations, unlike movable teeth, which need to be replaced every day. Physiologically and functionally very close to natural teeth, very comfortable.

3. The chewing efficiency of dental implants is relatively high.

4. Comfortable and beautiful. Dental implants do not need to be supported by structures such as base and clasp, and their appearance and function are exactly the same as those of real teeth. The successfully implanted teeth have no foreign body sensation and metal exposure, which is conducive to maintaining oral hygiene, comfort and beauty, especially when restoring the function of anterior teeth.

Disadvantages:

1, dental implants are expensive.

2. The patient's physical requirements are relatively high, and not everyone can do dental implant restoration.

3. Dental implant surgery takes a long time, about half a year.

4. Because the suture is too tight or too loose during implantation, the wound splits. Especially in the case of improper tooth washing and infection, it is more likely to cause local wound dehiscence.
