Disdvantages of Dental Implants Over Dentures or a Bridge


There are three main disadvantages of dental implants.

Cost
The main disadvantage of dental implants compared to other alternatives is cost. Implant procedures are often many times more expensive than alternatives.

Surgery
Another disadvantage is that, unlike a bridge or dentures, dental implants must be surgically placed inside the bone.

Waiting period
There is a two to six month waiting period between implants placement to the crown placement. How long exactly depends on the area of the mouth where the implants are placed. During this time, the patient can wear a temporary bridge or denture.
