What kind of advantages and disadvantages do implants have, and in which cases?

a) Patients who lost all teeth on lower jaw and have prosthetics: these patients complain about constant pain caused by prosthetic movement. This problem will be enhanced if/when bone structure supporting the implant wears down. In such cases, implant treatment eliminates all complaints, as well as preventing bone substance loss.

b) Patients who lost all teeth on upper jaw and have prosthetics: While upper jaw prosthetics tend to be sturdier than lower jaw prosthetics, prosthetic design covering palate disrupts taste sense, and may cause nausea.

c) Patients missing some teeth in both upper and lower jaws: complaints from these patients include unpleasant look of prosthetics fixed with hooks, and obligation to trim down perfectly healthy teeth.

d) Patients with only one tooth missing: these are the patients who need to sacrifice at least two adjacent teeth for restoration of just one. Fixing just one implant not only saves adjacent teeth, but also delivers a more aesthetic and functional solution.
