\"Dentist<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

While it\u2019s not always a given that dentistry will excite people, dental implants are one of the few that frequently catch the attention of the layperson. Their durability and realism have made them enormously popular in recent years, and people who get them are often impressed at their quality in comparison to other methods of tooth replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re so impressed, in fact, that some wonder whether it\u2019s not a good idea to replace their natural teeth with dental implants<\/a>. It\u2019s an interesting question\u2014here\u2019s what you should know if you\u2019re trying to answer it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Advantages Do Dental Implants Have?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While their strengths shouldn\u2019t be overstated, there are arguably some ways in which dental implants are superior to natural teeth. The porcelain that their crowns are usually made of is resistant to both staining and tooth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with this remarkable boon, dental implants can approximate natural teeth in quite a few other ways. Their durability is nearly on par\u2014if you care for them well, it\u2019s possible for them to last a lifetime. They offer a stronger bite than dentures and dental bridges, and can be cleaned in about the same way that you would your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Dental Implants Fall Short of Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However, there are still plenty of reasons to prefer real teeth over artificial ones. For one, while porcelain is certainly more resistant to decay, it\u2019s also more brittle than enamel. This means that you have a higher chance of breaking the crown of your dental implant than your tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the lack of nerves in the dental implants means that as good as they look, they often don\u2019t feel very real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, while the dental implant procedure is low-risk and easy, it\u2019s still not completely free of potential complications. Even under the best of circumstances, you\u2019ll need to undergo a fair amount of healing and aftercare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As fantastic as dental implants are, you don\u2019t really gain much by getting rid of perfectly healthy teeth. For that reason, you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a dentist who would recommend replacing them with artificial ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
