These are some of the advantages of dental implants over other options such as bridges. The placement of one or more dental implants, in addition to improving our oral health, gives us back a beautiful and functional smile:
- Natural result. One of the great advantages of implants is that, once integrated into the jawbone, they go completely unnoticed.
- They slow down tooth wear. Missing teeth accelerate facial ageing, because they favour bone loss. With dental implants your mouth will look healthier and younger.
- They last longer. Dental implants are less prone to wear and tear than other treatments. By replacing the tooth from the root, it remains in good condition for longer. In fact, if you take care of them properly, implants can last a lifetime. However, it is important to maintain good hygiene to avoid infections and the development of peri-implantitis.
- They adapt easily. Dental implants integrate more quickly into the bone thanks to the osseointegration process.
- They do not alter the quality of life. Implants do not affect the health of other teeth. Bridges, for example, require the adjacent teeth to support the prosthesis.
Therefore, our specialist, Dr. Ignacio Alonso, will evaluate your case and help you choose the most appropriate solution for you.
