2. What is the best method for implanting front teeth?

Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, in order to make the right decision, which method should be used to implant front teeth, ensuring the final effect of a comprehensive aesthetic smile, take a look at the following comparison table:

Method/CriteriaFront dental ImplantsMaking porcelain dental bridgesImplanting removable dentures
AestheticsDental implants bring natural aesthetic results.Porcelain bridges only replace the crown of the teeth, do not interfere with the jawbone. Therefore, after a while, the location of tooth loss can be bone loss, leading to gum recession, exposing the root of the pillar tooth, which is very unaesthetic.The jaw frame is usually made of plastic, so it is not natural and easy to recognize. Some partially removable prostheses have metal hooks exposed, causing aesthetic loss.
Ability to chewThe Implant is implanted and integrated into the jawbone, so it is easy to stand on its own, with good chewing resistance. Patients can eat and chew comfortably, without worrying about falling or loosening.The porcelain material has good bearing strength, so the bridge meets the ability to chew effectively. However, after a period of use, the atrophied jawbone will cause loose bridges to affect the ability to chew.The rate of chewing rehabilitation is usually about 40% compared to real teeth. At the same time, it cannot withstand too strong a chewing force, so avoid eating foods that are too hard, chewy and flexible.
UsageDental implants exist independently and do not invade the adjacent teeth. Therefore, oral hygiene and care are easier than using dentures, bringing maximum convenience to patients.The real teeth used as pillars will be ground smaller, leading to the spur teeth that can become sensitive or affect the pulp later. Cleaning under the bridge needs to be thorough, if you don’t pay attention, it can cause bad breath and inflammation due to stagnant food.At first, the removable dentures fit close to the real tooth frame. But, after a period of use, the jaw will become elastic and loose, causing entanglement, discomfort and easy to fall during eating.
Implementation timeIf the jawbone density is stable, the implant treatment time will take about 6-12 weeks.

If multiple bone grafts are required, the treatment time can be up to more than 6 months for the jawbone to integrate with the body.

Helps restore lost teeth in just about 3-5 days.It takes about 2-3 days to have a new set of removable teeth.
DurabilityCan last a lifetime if taken care of well.On average, about 7-10 years, or when the main teeth show signs of weakening, the patient must replace the new porcelain bridge.It can only be used for 3-5 years, after which the user is forced to replace the new removable jaw frame.

From the above comparisons, it can be seen that implanting front teeth with removable jaws or porcelain bridges has a relatively fast treatment time and the cost is not too high. However, there are many disadvantages in terms of aesthetics and chewing function. At the same time, it has an invasive effect on other teeth on the jaw, which can cause a lot of inconvenience during use.

On the other hand, both of the above methods only restore the crown of the tooth, not replace the lost roots, so in the long run, it leads to bone loss. The faster the bone dissipates, the looser the removable jaw and shortens the service life of porcelain bridges and dentures.

Among all three methods above, front tooth implants are currently highly appreciated as the most optimal solution to restore lost teeth, not only restoring chewing function and aesthetics by more than 90%, but also preventing complete loss of teeth. total loss of jaw bone. Although the cost of dental implants is higher and the treatment time is long, the patient can use them for the rest of their lives with just one implant, ensuring comprehensive health and long-term aesthetics.
