What are the alternative options to dental implants?

Dental implants are a replacement for missing natural teeth. Dental implants in India are becoming popular compared to other tooth replacement options irrespective of the cost. This is due to the reasons validating the cost of implants. Alternative options to dental implants for tooth replacement are dental bridges and dentures.

(1) Dental bridges are one of the tooth or teeth replacement options, which replace the missing tooth with the help of adjacent teeth. It typically involves the preparation of one or two adjacent teeth on either side of the missing tooth. So, it always comes as a bridge of three or more teeth. If the supporting teeth on either side are decayed or unsuitable for support, then treatment of these teeth will be done before its preparation. After preparation, measurements are taken and custom-made crowns are fabricated in the lab. They are checked for alterations and are fixed using dental cement. But, due to time, this dental cement may wear off resulting in slipping of the cap, which can be refitted by the respective dentist. Visit the best dentist in India, to get a complete oral checkup and determine which teeth replacement option is best suited for you.

(2) Dentures are the most commonly known teeth replacement options. They can be either partial or complete dentures. After your dentist examines gums and jaw bones; if the jaw bone is uneven, then additional surgery is needed to make it even so that the denture can reside on it. Then your dentist determines a treatment plan whether to remove any other teeth or any other procedures are required. Then an impression of the entire upper and lower gums is taken and sent to the lab for processing of a custom-made denture set. It takes time, so temporary dentures are given which also helps in the healing of underlying soft tissues. For a perfect fit, visit the best prosthodontist in India who has a lot of experience.

The alternative options such as dental bridges or dentures are economic compared to implants. But in the long run, implants are can be considered better options due to the following reasons:

  • Implants are aesthetically superior to any other dental treatments and are similar to natural teeth. And they don’t even stain making it the best option if your priority is aesthetics.
  • Maintenance of implants is very easy compared to other options. For suppose, dentures need relining or rebasing over time.
  • If done by the best implantologist in India, the success rate of the surgery is maximized. Dental implants are durable and can be given a lifetime guarantee if maintained properly.
  • The biggest plus point of implants is that it prevents bone loss which can be seen in dentures and dental bridges. Also, it doesn’t affect adjacent teeth.
