In fact, there are advantages and disadvantages. Dental implants come with independent roots and do not damage the enamel. However, the porcelain teeth are different. There are two fixed teeth and movable dentures. The teeth are fixed. Most of the latter are plastic or steel brackets, which can be removed and cleaned. They are also fixed by adjacent teeth, but they do not need to be ground, but they have a strong foreign body sensation and are easy to loosen.
Are there any disadvantages to dental implants?
- In addition to being expensive, the requirement for bone mass is very high, especially for periodontitis, and the loss of alveolar bone must be filled with bone meal to meet a certain bone height. Blood pressure, hyperglycemia, etc., must be controlled and stabilized before dental implants can be considered.
- Dental implants have no periodontal ligament. Compared with real teeth, there is too much accumulation of dental plaque. Once the gums are stimulated to inflame, the degree of atrophy will be deeper. In addition, the restoration period of dental implants is longer, and it takes time for the alveolar bone to combine with the implant. The whole process takes at least 6 months, and it is unnecessary to use porcelain bridges or movable dentures, and it can be completed within a week or two.
Which dental implant or porcelain teeth has a longer service life?
- A normal dental implant can be used for 15 years, and its appearance is similar to that of a real tooth. The chewing efficiency is higher than that of a porcelain teeth. However, for porcelain teeth, some metal materials of the porcelain dental bridge can also cause swelling of the gums. If it is serious, it must be removed and replaced. Full porcelain teeth will not affect the gums, but will be more beautiful and clean and maintain. Most patients can use it for at least 10 years. In the later stage, plaque is likely to accumulate on the edge of the gums. It is recommended to use a spare flusher to remove it.
- It can be renewed at that time. If there is a gap between the crown and the tooth, or if there is a fracture, you have to follow up, otherwise the internal abutment will rot, and the movable denture is suitable for multiple missing, single can also be used Partial dentures are not recommended. They usually have to be inspected every 3 to 5 years and replaced after 5 years.
On the whole, dental implants are better than porcelain teeth, depending on the periodontal condition, and minimally invasive implants can be made if possible.
Any way, when choosing the porcelain teeth, the technician should choose the quality denture making materials,after the denture restoration manufactured in laboratory, the dental lathe machine should be available for the next procedure of finishing and polishing and ready to deliver to dentist.
