What are the disadvantages of dental implants?

As an emerging technology, dental implants can be regarded as a marvel in the development of oral medicine. Dental implants provide patients with an excellent treatment option and also bring blessings to patients. They began to be widely used clinically in the 1980s. So, do dental implants have any drawbacks? Are you aware of the disadvantages of dental implants? The Department of Stomatology at the PLA 454 Hospital in Nanjing will help you summarize the disadvantages of dental implants here.

Experts help you summarize the disadvantages of dental implants:

1. Long restoration time for dental implants: The entire treatment time for dental implants is relatively long, approximately more than half a year. Many patients find it hard to endure this aspect, and due to this disadvantage, many adult patients give up on the dental implant surgery.

2. High cost of dental implants: Due to the high requirements for doctors and materials, dental implants are quite expensive. This has significantly reduced the consumer market for dental implants, which should be considered the most fatal point among the disadvantages of dental implants.

3. As a surgical procedure, dental implants also carry a certain failure rate (approximately 5-10%). If there is negligence during the operation, it may lead to inflammation, necrosis, or other pathological changes. Of course, such situations are extremely rare.

How to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages of dental implants?

To address these disadvantages, the Department of Stomatology at the PLA 454 Hospital in Nanjing adopts minimally invasive immediate dental implantation, which other hospitals may not necessarily achieve. This not only reduces the patient's pain but also saves surgical time. Indeed, immediate implantation means immediate enjoyment. At the same time, our authoritative expert in dental implants, Hou Baohua, a member of the Japanese Society of Prosthodontics and the chief expert of the Swiss ITI implant system, possesses a solid theoretical foundation in oral medicine and extensive clinical work experience.
