Previous articles have discussed the benefits of dental implants. Below, we will delve into the downsides of dental implants to provide you with a clearer understanding.
The disadvantages of dental implants are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
- Implant Loosening or Fracture
Some individuals may experience loosening or fracture of their dental implants. This is not to say that dental implants are inferior, but rather it can be attributed to improper manipulation by the dentist during the surgical procedure.
Therefore, it is crucial to undergo dental implant surgery by experienced and skilled dentists in formal dental hospitals to avoid such issues. - High Cost of Dental Implants
Currently, the cost of a single dental implant in China is at least 3,680 yuan, which is significantly higher than removable dentures, fixed bridges, etc.
However, as mentioned above, dental implants have a long lifespan, and when calculated annually, the cost is actually not very high. Moreover, they offer better aesthetics and comfort. Additionally, there are now reliable domestic dental implants available at around 3,000 yuan, providing excellent value for money. If you would like to inquire about prices, you can contact HINNO Dental lab, and we will respond promptly. - Formation of Fistula
Fistulas on the mucosa are mainly related to inflammation around the abutment or implant. The most common location is the gingival tissue covering the junction of the abutment and bridge, but this can be improved through surgical treatment. - Marginal Bone Resorption
There are several causes of bone resorption around implants, such as local inflammation, overload of the implant, fracture of the central bolt, etc.
However, many dental implant brands also consider this issue in the design process and take measures to improve it. - Sinus Mucosa Perforation
This issue is also related to the dentist’s skill level, as sinus mucosa perforation mainly occurs due to unstable technique during maxillary tooth implantation, resulting in puncture of the maxillary sinus mucosa and nasal floor mucosa. - Gingival Hyperplasia, Inflammation, and Perforation
Perforation occurs when the gingival tissue covering the implant is punctured due to inadequate dentist skill. Gingival inflammation or hyperplasia is caused by inadequate oral hygiene.
Unstable connection between the abutment and gingiva or shallow implantation of the abutment in the gingiva can also lead to inflammation, which is also related to the dentist’s experience and skill. - Limited Conditions for Dental Implants
Dental implants are not suitable for everyone. Conditions such as untreated or uncontrolled systemic diseases like bone metabolic diseases, infectious diseases, and immune dysfunction prevent individuals from undergoing dental implant surgery. - Risk of Infection
Inadequate sterilization of the surgical site, contamination of the surgical area and instruments, and poor local hygiene after implantation can all lead to infection.
Therefore, for dental implant surgery, which is a relatively major procedure in the dental field, it is recommended to visit large and formal dental institutions rather than seeking cheaper options at unqualified clinics.
In Conclusion:
Everything has its pros and cons, and dental implants are no exception. However, if you meet the conditions for dental implants, it is still recommended to undergo dental implant restoration. For more information, you can visit china-dental-labs.com for more professional advice.
Most of the disadvantages of dental implants are actually caused by inadequate dentist skill or experience. Many individuals who have undergone dental implant surgery have had no issues and are highly satisfied with this method of tooth restoration.
In summary, I hope everyone can put aside their biases against dental implants and make decisions based on their own circumstances. If dental implants are an option, they should be considered. Only when dental implants are not feasible should alternative methods be chosen. What suits you best is always the best choice!
