The benefits of dental implants for the elderly;
1, there is generally no age limit for dental implants: there have been cases of 80-year-old people successfully planting dentures abroad, so the elderly can also do dental implants.
2. The chewing efficiency of dental implants is high: dental implants simulate real teeth, and the mechanical principle is the same as that of real teeth. The chewing pressure of the teeth is directly transmitted to the alveolar tissue through the artificial root of the implant, so the dental implant can bear greater chewing pressure and the chewing efficiency is greatly improved compared with the traditional denture. Therefore, the biggest advantage of dental implants is that the chewing efficiency is higher than that of traditional dentures, which resembles real teeth and gives patients a sense of reality.
3. Dental implants are more stable and reliable than traditional dentures: compared with traditional dentures, the roots of dental implants are deeply embedded in the patient's alveolar tissue, so compared with traditional dentures that cross alveolar mucosa or rely on oral saliva adsorption, dental implants are more stable and reliable, especially for the elderly with full or half teeth missing.
