Dental implants are increasingly becoming one of the most requested treatments in dental clinics as many people with tooth decay or loss see dental implants as an effective and affordable solution compared to other treatments.
Our experts from the dental clinic in Barcelona and the dental clinic in Ibiza explain the main benefits of dental implants.
About dental implants
In order to understand the benefits of dental implants compared to other dental implant replacement treatments, we must first define what they consist of.
Dental implants consist of small cylindrical pieces of titanium or zirconium that are inserted into the jawbone, thus replacing the natural root of the tooth lost or extracted due to decay. After the osseointegration process, when the bone fuses with the implant as it would with the natural tooth, this piece has the same functionality and the same or better esthetics.
Benefits of dental implants
As we have advanced, the popularity of dental implants has grown in recent years due to the improvements and benefits over other treatments for the same purpose. Here are its main benefits:
Quick and easy intervention
Implant placement is a very quick process using local anesthesia. In many cases, immediate loading of implants can be performed, that is, the placement of the implant or metal root and the dental prosthesis on the same day. In addition, there is also the possibility of performing this treatment without surgical intervention, by means of computer-guided surgery or transmucosal dental implants.
In the first case, a template designed by the surgeon is used to place the pieces without the need to open the gum, and in the second case, this placement is also performed without the need to make cuts and stitches.
2. Postoperative period without discomfort
Given the rapidity and low invasiveness of this technique, it presents much less discomfort and inconvenience than other dental treatments, being reduced to a slight and short discomfort in the gum before the insertion of the implant.
Maximum aesthetics
The materials of which dental implants are made (zirconium or stratified ceramic) make the prosthesis translucent, resembling the natural color and appearance of the teeth. In addition, the shape and placement of these can resemble or even be more esthetic than the natural tooth.
4. Suitable for any age and situation
Dental implants are suitable for all those who have completed the growth and formation of teeth and oral structure. There is no age-related contraindication. Likewise, dental implants can also be performed in people with maxillofacial bone loss, by means of bone grafting or sinus elevation.
5. Lifetime warranty
Implants correctly planned, placed, with the correct size and shape and with a correct osseointegration process maintain the load and resistance that they must support for life and therefore have a lifetime guarantee.
6. High biocompatibility
Both zirconium and titanium are excellent biocompatible materials, the latter being particularly advantageous for osseointegration. There is very little chance of rejection of a dental implant.
