Disadvantages of Dental Implants

Posted on at



  • Surgical intervention and a specific period of healing are essential before your dental issues are fixed.

  • Dental implants are expensive when compared to conventional dentistry.

  • Breakage or fracture of bridges, fixtures and loosening of screws is possible in dental implants. Such cases might have adverse effects on the jawbone and cause certain complications.

  • A lack of shock-absorbency between the tooth and implant can cause porcelain fracture of crowns and bridgework. This is uncommon in natural teeth crowns.

  • Dental implants might feel unnatural and "dead" since they do not have any nerves.

  • Dental implants can suffer from severe gum and tooth disease if implanted in patients suffering from gum decay or disease.
