There are significant differences between a two-phase implants and a one-phase implants
Whatever the reason, losing our teeth may cause severe trauma. There are two methods for replacing missing teeth, one is traditional tooth replacement, and the other is a dental implant-based replacement. You can also choose from two options from the latter. One is the conventional two-phase implant; the other is the immediate loading one-phase implant. There are significant differences between the two implant families. In this writing, we discuss mainly the two-phase implants.
What would happen if you don’t replace your missing teeth?
Missing a tooth has a much more detrimental effect than you might initially think. Procrastination in replacing missing teeth for many years can have serious health risks.
These are the following:
- Intact teeth can move toward deficiency, causing them to fall out because their roots lose stability.
- Bite strength and tooth-chewing power may not be strong enough.
- The gums may become inflamed
- Inadequately chewed food can cause digestive problems, reflux or acidification, and even ulcers!
- The jaw is not loaded, so the bone can become thinner and weaken significantly.
- The jaw joint can also become inflamed.
- The muscles of the face and neck may deform.
How to avoid all of that?
The answer is simple! To avoid the above-mentioned adverse effects, you have to have replaced the missing teeth. As we said above, here are two options to choose from. One is the traditional method, in which two healthy teeth have to be sacrificed in the case of a bridge to fix the missing tooth. The other option that is a much more stable, durable, and aesthetic solution is the two-phase implant-based teeth replacement.
Why do we recommend the use of dental implants?
- If only one or two teeth are missing, grinding the intact teeth is unnecessary to hold the bridge as pillars.
- It is available at any age after bone growth is complete.
- More than 98% of dental implantation is successful.
- Timely implantation avoids bone loss due to tooth loss.
- If the bone stock is insufficient for successful implantation, bone replacement is possible with a relatively simple procedure.
- The implantation is a low risk since the two-phase implants have been used for decades.
- Implant placement is utterly painless due to local or general anesthesia.
- You will have a new, stable tooth/denture in 4-6 months.
- Teeth fixed on dental implants fit perfectly with the original teeth in color and shape.
- You can regain your previous bite strength and chewing ability.
- The load on your existing teeth will not be disproportionate. Any replacement is possible with dental implants, like a crown: bridge, or complete denture.
- The two-phase implant is durable and strong, perfect for replacing the original tooth root.
- With proper oral hygiene and care, there is a lifelong link between the artificial tooth root and the bone.
From the first part of the article, we learned why and to whom dental implants are recommended. In (Part 2) we will learn about the process and duration of implantation of two-phase implants and answer the question of who should not have this kind of implant.
Many other articles on the subject can be read in our Articles section, which we recommend.
