1. Healthy teeth transfer chewing power to the jaw bone. If one or multiple teeth are lost, loss of bone start to take place in the missing area as chewing powers can not be transferred to the jaw bone regularly. Dental implants, acting as a natural tooth root, help chewing power be transferred to the jaw bone regularly; thus level of bone is preserved. In traditional bridges, having no transfer of power, loss of bones continues and may cause collapses under the bridge, thus they have to be changed in every 5 years. Dental implants have a life time guarantee.
2. In traditional bridges, enamel of the adjacent teeth have to be removed. For dental implants, your healthy teeth are not involved.
3. You can safely use your dentures made of dental implants, like your natural teeth. You don’t have to use adhesive cream beneath your dentures. They don’t move and irritate you while eating or speaking.
