11 advantages of dental implant! Experts tell you the difference between implant teeth and your real teeth.

Recently, a patient said that the implant tooth he made two years ago was more comfortable than his real tooth, and now he plans to pull out another bad tooth and plant another one.

Seeing this, many people wonder why dental implants are more comfortable than other methods of dental restoration.

Dental implants, known as the third human teeth after deciduous teeth and permanent teeth, have become popular all over the world in recent years. By far, the implant is the most similar to the natural tooth of all dentures, mainly because the implant has an artificial root.

Are implants really the same as natural teeth? What good does it do to our mouth and face? What is the difference between implant teeth and natural teeth?

Today, we invited Gu Hongxia from Zhengzhou Elf Oral Clinic to tell us the difference between implant teeth and natural teeth.

What are the benefits of dental implants for our oral tissue and faces?

1. It can slow down the absorption of alveolar bone.

When there are teeth, alveolar bone absorption generally does not occur, but alveolar bone absorption accelerates rapidly after tooth loss. At this time, doing ordinary dentures (especially inappropriate dentures) will increase the burden of alveolar bone and make alveolar bone absorption faster. Dentures must be replaced once a few years. On the contrary, because artificial implants are similar to our natural teeth, our alveolar bones become stronger and less absorbed.

two。 No damage to other teeth.

Because the artificial implant is carried out independently, it does not require any force on the adjacent teeth, so it will not have an adverse effect on the surrounding teeth.

3. Restore the chewing force.

If we regard the maximum bite force of our healthy natural teeth as 100, the chewing force of ordinary dentures can restore 10-20%, while the strength of artificial implants can reach 80-90%. So implant teeth can restore our normal occlusal strength.

4. Restore the taste of chewing.

Because ordinary dentures are placed on the gums, it is difficult for food to touch our mouth, which not only reduces the chewing force, but also reduces the taste. Artificial implants are stabilized by alveolar bones, which are similar to our natural teeth, so they don't affect our taste.

5. The damage to the gums is small.

Oral ulcers often occur in the use of dentures, but the use of artificial implants will reduce this phenomenon.

6. No foreign body sensation.

Patients who have worn ordinary dentures know that dentures have a strong sense of foreign bodies, but artificial implants are not available.

7. Can maintain the connection between teeth, so that people have a complete dentition.

8. Maintain a natural and beautiful appearance.

As we all know, after the loss of teeth, especially the loss of most teeth, the face will look very old, even if the missing teeth are repaired with dentures, the expression is not natural, but artificial implants, like natural teeth, can maintain the natural appearance.

9. Give psychological sense of security.

The main reason is that artificial implants do not have to worry about talking and making strange noises when eating.

10. It won't cause pronunciation problems.

Dentures shake in the mouth, the size is too large, will cause pronunciation difficulties.

Dental implants have so many benefits, so what's the difference between dental implants and natural teeth?

First, the implant is a rigid combination formed by osseointegration with the alveolar bone, while the natural tooth is suspended in the alveolar bone through the fibrous ligament in the periodontal ligament. This structure of the natural tooth avoids the rigid connection between the tooth and the alveolar bone and can cushion the strong occlusal force.

Second, the implant does not have a periodontal ligament, but there are neuroreceptors in the periodontal ligament, which can feel the bite force. When the occlusal force is too large, the natural teeth will have discomfort or pain, will take the initiative to avoid, but the implant teeth do not have this function. Although dental implants can restore 100% of the masticatory function of natural teeth, due to the lack of neuroreceptors, they will not know the depth of chewing, which can easily lead to long-term overload work.

Third, the implant is immobile in the jaw, while the natural tooth in the jaw is a lifelong movement, mainly forward movement. When the adjacent surface of the tooth is worn, this movement of the tooth can avoid the gap between the two adjacent teeth. But dental implants are not allowed. What's wrong with that? There should not be a big problem in a short time, but for a long time, if the position of the natural tooth moves and the position of the implant does not move, there will be a gap between the implant and the natural tooth, resulting in food blockage.

Fourth, the implant does not have the hard tissue of the teeth, so there will be no diseases such as dental caries and pulpitis, and there will be no pain in the pulp nerves.

Fifth, the neck of the implant is generally narrower than the natural teeth, especially the posterior teeth, so it is generally necessary to use a space brush to clean to prevent the occurrence of peri-implant inflammation.

Dental implants are known as the third set of human teeth.

Yes, so far, there is no other restoration method that can compete with implant teeth in terms of comfort, beauty, function, protecting the remaining teeth and preventing alveolar bone atrophy.

However, no matter how science and technology develops in the future, it is impossible for the teeth to be exactly the same as the teeth we have just sprouted. Therefore, we all need to cherish our first and second teeth. Pay attention to oral health care, prevention of dental disease is the best way, prevention is always greater than treatment.
