What are the advantages of a dental implant compared to a denture or bridge?

0

The advantages of implants are multiple and very significant. Its main advantage over a denture is that it is fixed and so you have the confidence to eat and talk without the fear of it moving or slipping, and you can taste more of your food compared to a denture as the roof of your mouth will not be covered by plastic. When a missing tooth or teeth are replaced by a bridge, the teeth on either side of the space have to be ground down to provide the anchors for the bridge. When an implant is used instead, these teeth can be left untouched, and so the implant is a far more conservative solution.
