Dental implants can be a better solution than dentures.
Dental implants can be a better solution than dentures for people who may have lost their teeth but still want an appealing smile, it has been claimed.
WorlDental reported the device can achieve a more aesthetically pleasing result than dentures, as the implants will be permanently fitted into a patient’s mouth and are therefore less likely to be damaged or move around.
Furthermore, they can enable people to eat all the foods they used to before they lost their teeth, as dental implants can be more hardwearing and are fixed into the jaw, whereas dentures are not.
Elsewhere, Nobel Biocare recently published a study which showed that in 98 per cent of cases, dental implants will last longer then five years for patients.
It concluded that in the vast majority of cases, few problems were had with dental implants and that the devices helped maintain bone structure in the jaw and supported surrounding teeth in the process.
