All other complications with implants are usually associated with the prosthesis. The most common complication is screw loosening. Higher failure rates were found in shorter implants and were seen more often in certain bone types than in others. Benefits Benefits of having a dental implant include not having to alter adjacent teeth because a bridge will be attached to them. Another benefit is not experiencing the looseness of traditional dentures.
Implants are easier to clean around than the cleaning and flossing required for bridges.
For some people, knowing that they have natural looking, and feeling teeth are the most important benefits. In severely damaged or weak-boned jaws, some implants can strengthen the jaw and become the only option for full mouth reconstruction. Cost Cost to the consumer for dental implants are dependent upon the number of implants, type and design of the implant, and the materials used. The estimated cost for inserting, maintaining, and replacing a prosthesis for an implant is twice the cost of the implant itself, and ten times greater than traditional dentures. Traditional crowns and dentures have lower costs associated with them.
