What are the advantages of dental implants?

Implant-borne teeth:

• Are the most natural solution esthetically and functionally.
• Fit harmoniously into the dental arch.
• Cannot be distinguished from real teeth in function and appearance in daily life.
• Provide a stable foundation for the denture. They spare patients the disadvantages of conventional prostheses such as pressure points and poor fit. The palate is not longer covered by plastic denture material, which has a positive effect on speech and the sense of taste.
• Makes it unnecessary to grind the neighboring teeth.
• Can prevent bone atrophy*.

*Bone atrophy:

Like natural tooth roots, implants transmit chewing forces evenly to the jaw bone. This is stressed during chewing, just like with natural teeth, so it preserves its natural shape. If this stress is absent, as with conventional solutions, the jaw bone shrinks slowly.
