Five good reasons for choosing dental implants

1. An esthetic solution

Function and visual appearance go hand-in-hand: dental implants were developed to offer reliable stability.

2. More to enjoy

The dental plates often required with conventional dentures may cause pressure points and other inconveniences. With dental implant therapy, such dental plates are not necessary. Therefore, patients may experience more comfort when talking, smiling and eating.

A North American survey has highlighted the advantages of implants and proven the theory that “those who kiss enjoy life more.” People who have bad or missing teeth kiss others less often and are in turn kissed less than those with good teeth. Surveys conducted by the McGill University in Canada with support from Straumann have shown that unease during kissing is considerably reduced if prostheses are anchored in place by implants.*

3. Bone preservation

Implants transmit chewing forces to the jaw bones, which helps to maintain the bone. If there is no implant, as with conventional bridges or partial prostheses, the bone may slowly recede and the shape of the face may change over time.

4. Tooth preservation

With a conventional bridge, the healthy neighboring teeth to the right and left of the missing tooth have to be ground down to support the bridge. When using an implant to close the gap, the neighboring teeth are not affected and the natural tooth surface remains intact.

5. Proven quality

Straumann has sold more than four million dental implants worldwide. The Straumann^® Dental Implant System is one of the most frequently used systems in the world and is the result of more than 30 years of scientific experience.
