What are the benefits of saving natural teeth vs implants?
Implants are a terrific option if you cannot save your natural teeth, but implants can also have complications. Some things to consider:
a) The tissue attachment around implants is weaker and implants are therefore more susceptible to tissue breakdown which can result in peri-implantitis (infection around an implant) or implant failure (loosening of the implant itself and eventual loss).
b) There is less blood flow around an implant so if peri-implantitis occurs around an implant, the tissue healing after treatment is slower and less predictable than around a natural tooth.
c) Implants do not have periodontal ligaments (which natural teeth have) to act as a shock absorber, transferring biting loads to the bone. As a result, implants are more likely to have mechanical complications such as screw loosening, fracture, and bone necrosis—when excessive biting pressure is applied (grinding, chewing ice, etc).
