Dental Implants
Dental implant is a Titanium metal post (like tooth root ) that is placed into the jaw bone beneath the gum line onto which artificial tooth is fixed.
Since it is placed in the jaw bone resembles natural tooth root and the chewing forces on the implant stimulates the bone for remodeling and hence never undergoes bone resorption (destruction).
Implant tooth appears highly natural as it looks to emerge from the gum like the natural tooth (unlike in bridge tooth sits on the gums which looks artificial).
Hence dental implant is the most natural, stronger ,highly safer mode of tooth replacement.
Implant tooth looks highly natural as it appears to emerge from the gum like natural tooth (unlike in bridge, tooth suits on the gums which looks artificial)
Implants fuse to the jaw bone thereby providing stable support for artificial teeth. These teeth won't slip or shift in patients mouth more important when he is eating or speaking. So feels more natural than conventional bridges or dentures. The colour of the implant tooth will be perfectly matched with adjacent natural teeth. Hence dental implant is the most natural, stronger ,highly safer mode of tooth replacement and is like regaining the lost old natural tooth.
BRIDGE | IMPLANT |
Need to grind or shave adjacent natural teeth. | No need to grind adjacent natural teeth. |
Takes support of adjacent teeth. | Take support of implant that that is placed in the bone |
Weaker than the natural tooth | Much stronger than the natural tooth |
Needs frequent replacement. | Do not need frequent replacement. |
Food lodgement happens under the bridge leading to foul smell. | No food lodgement hence no foul smell. |
Acceptable esthetics. | Excellent esthetics |
Risk of tooth decay under the bridge leads to fracture of adjacent supporting teeth. | No risk of tooth decay on adjacent teeth |
