Dental Implants – A Healthier Option
- A dental bridge requires the reduction of surrounding teeth, whereas that is not needed in the case of an implant.
- Implants are aesthetically designed to allow enough room between the teeth for proper flossing.
- Implants are bio-compatible with the surrounding tissues of the mouth.
Most dentures or bridges can cause injury or any trauma to the tissues over time.
- Long term denture wearers can have bone loss. Whereas an implant completely fills in the gap, leaving no room for bone resorption.
- Denture wearers worry about dislodgement of the denture while speaking, coughing, chewing or sneezing. But you don’t have to worry about this in case of a fixed implant.
- The shelf life of a dental implant is about 10 to 15 years. In some cases, with excellent dental hygiene, it can go beyond 15 years.
- A denture has a shelf life of about a minimum of a few months to 5 years.
Recovery Time After an Implant
Once your dental implant has been placed, it will take about 2-6 months to heal. But the healing process can vary from patient to patient.
