1. The method of doing it is different
Porcelain teeth are fixed with their own tooth roots, the good teeth on both sides of the missing teeth are grinded smaller, and then braces are put on, and the repaired teeth need to rely on the neighboring good teeth to carry out daily chewing actions, which is very harmful to the good teeth next to it.
Dental implants are implanted with a metal tooth root in the patient's tooth bed, and after the tooth root and gum are stable, a porcelain tooth is installed on it, and the dental implant can basically replace the original real tooth function, without relying on the good teeth next to it.
2. The time spent is different
It takes about a week to install porcelain teeth, while dental implants require a longer treatment period, at least three months, and you need to take a radiograph for diagnosis, choose implants, and so on.
3. Different indications
Porcelain teeth are more suitable for broken teeth, while dental implants are more suitable for missing teeth, and it is best to choose which restoration method should be chosen according to the patient's own conditions. However, patients with three highs, or anemia, heart disease, etc., are not suitable for dental implants.
4. The requirements for doctors are different
Porcelain teeth have relatively low requirements for doctors, while dental implants have higher technical requirements for doctors. If blind implantation occurs in the process of dental implantation, it will not only cause economic losses to patients, but also have a great impact on the oral health of patients.
5. The price is different
Porcelain teeth are relatively cheap, depending on the brand, the price ranges from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, while dental implants are more expensive, and most of them need to be imported.
6. The life span is different
The lifespan of porcelain teeth is about 10 to 15 years, and it also needs to be maintained later, and there is no fixed standard for the lifespan of dental implants. If you maintain it regularly and clean your mouth regularly, dental implants can last a lifetime.
