Without any destructiveness, dental implant has been widely recognized as the best solution for tooth loss. It refers to placing an artificial tooth root into alveolar bone, followed by an abutment and a dental crown. Enjoying exciting performance close to that of natural teeth, in both function and aesthetics, it is dubbed as the third set of teeth for human beings. Then, what are its strengths in detail?

    1.No foreign body sensation. Different from removable denture, dental implant requires no existence of base plate and clasp, thus there’s no development of weak gustation and discomfort. In comparison, dental implant will provide a much more comfortable experience to owners than other dental prosthesis.

    2.Firmly integrated into alveolar bone, dental implant is rather stable, really doing a good job especially in dining and speaking. Besides, it has seen a low failure rate, even lower than the rate of natural tooth loss. As research shows, there are cases of dental implant remaining working for over 40 years. 

    3.Dental implant is closely similar to natural tooth in many aspects, including its cleaning practices. Removable denture needs to be taken off for cleaning, while for dental implant you only need to keep daily brushing and flossing, just as what you do to your keep natural teeth clean. When it comes to a fixed bridge of implant teeth, a kind of special floss should be applied to better reach the proximal surfaces.
