What is the downside of dental implants?

Why are dental implants so expensive?
Firstly, Dental implants are made of a titanium post that’s surgically attached into your jaw bone and designed to simulate the form and function of your tooth’s natural roots. Titanium is a strong, lightweight, and long-lasting metal. The other part of a dental implant is a porcelain crown that sits on top of the titanium post and resembles your original tooth. Crowns are custom made to fit in with the rest of your teeth. The final dental implant cost is the surgical procedure. Even though it may not be performed in a hospital setting, there is years of training, knowledge, and experience that go into knowing exactly where to place the dental implant. The dentist must drill into your jaw without hitting any of the major nerves and in a way that ensures that the implant integrates correctly with the jaw bone. This is a carefully planned and precise installation that may patients overlook.
How long does it take for dental implants?
When you first visit, the dentist will insert the titanium post into the jaw. It will take some time before it is ready to receive the crown. First, the jawbone must heal around the post, growing around it and securing it firmly. On average, it takes six to eight months for an implant to settle down, but it can take even longer, especially if you needed a bone graft.
Which is better dentures or dental implants?
Dentures are safer and much more affordable, and although their quality has improved, they’re not ideal for everyone. Dentures might slip out of place while eating or speaking if they are not secured with denture adhesive and partial dentures might promote infection and decay in other teeth if they aren’t fitted properly, which may increase the risk that you would need a tooth filling on the abutment (adjoining) tooth. That said, dentures may be the best choice for people whose gums and jaw are weak or unhealthy.
If your gums and jaw are healthy, you may benefit from dental implants, which are implanted surgically into the jawbone. With good oral hygiene, implants can last for 20 years or more without the need for replacement. Dental implants are often a popular choice for people who have only one or two teeth missing, but they can be an alternative to dentures if you have several missing teeth. As long as your gums and jaw are healthy, two or more implants can serve as a base of support for several replacement teeth.
How many teeth can you put on one implant?
Ideally one implant would support one tooth, this provides greater distribution of tension when biting. In some cases when there isn’t enough jawbone to support an implant, or the implant would be in a sensitive location, your dentist may use two implants on either side of the tooth for support.
