Following are five advantages of tooth implants:
- Tooth implants are permanent by nature. It is not as if one has to take them out each night and place them separately in a container with cleansing liquid. Once you have the implants in your mouth, they are here to stay and are not removed, ever. Thus, one has the advantage of always being able to make use of them, even at night time. They are available to you 24×7, i.e. all the time.
- Dental implants, once you have them, can be had for the rest of your life. If one takes care of them properly enough, you need not worry about them going bad or spoiling. For this to happen, you have to maintain good oral hygiene habits. It is advisable to brush your implants twice each day for at least two minutes each. What works the best is to brush them each time after you consume food or drink. However, if this is not possible, then one should rinse the mouth thoroughly well each time. Also, dental flossing of the implants once a day is highly recommended. Also, the patient should visit the dentist on a regular basis to get adjustments made to the implants, if required. Hence, if one up keeps them well, they function well.
- Tooth implants bring the original smile of the person concerned back. It is the closest the patient can come to have their original manner of speaking and eating as well. In the case of dentures, there is always a chance of the dentures slipping out of the mouth if the person laughs too loudly. Also, there is a chance of the dentures cracking up if the person bites into a food substance which is too hard or sticky. There is hardly any fear of this happening in the case of the tooth implants which have been implanted into the jaw bone itself. Also, dentures show up as dentures to those who care to observe well – thus anyone will know that the person is wearing them. Tooth implants, on the other side, show up almost like the real teeth of the person.
- Tooth implants, touched upon before, are very stable and secure options. Not just are they cosmetically better to be worn by anyone, but also they are far stronger than dentures.
- Tooth implants, once you have them, are permanent. They need not be replaced. Dentures, on the flip side, can last only for about five to seven years. With time, dentures become loose and ill-fitting. This is not the case in tooth implants. After minor adjustments, they stay with the same fit. Also, dentures need to be maintained with a lot more care than tooth implants do. It is far easier to have tooth implants than to have dentures – especially when one considers the maintenance work which has to be done with them.
