What is the difference between an implant and a movable tooth?
At present, dental technology is becoming more and more mature, and dental implant technology is playing a more and more prominent role.
It allows people with missing teeth to start from scratch with unchanging, functional and beautiful teeth.
Therefore, more and more patients with tooth loss will choose to have implants, but there are many questions before doing, such as: is the implant stable?
What can I do to get an implant Let’s take a look ~ What’s the difference between an implant and a denture?
Dental implantation involves placing titanium artificial roots precisely into the missing alveolar bone, followed by a bionic crown.
Dentures require the adjacent teeth to be ground down to hold the abutment teeth.
The implant can be rooted in the alveolar bone like the natural tooth and can be used normally like the natural tooth.
The denture is attached to the adjacent tooth and has no root of its own. It is weak in invariance.
Chewing function can only recover 30-40%, and easy to produce food impaction, leading to dental caries in the adjacent teeth.
Implants can be used to repair the loss of a single tooth, multiple teeth or even any part of the whole mouth.
Dentures must be held in place with the help of adjacent teeth.
If the missing teeth are close to each other and don’t have healthy neighbors, the dentures won’t be as constant and their chewing function will be affected.
