What are the pro's & con's of having molar teeth implants?

I dont really know any cons. The pros would be that you are restoring proper chewing in your mouth. Every tooth in the mouth is made for a certain purpose. The molar teeth are the teeth that carry the most weight in the mouth. When one is removed, the other teeth have to carry the load for that tooth. The more molar teeth a person removes, the more load the smaller teeth are expected to carry, which ends up causing problems for them.

What are the pro's %26amp; con's of having molar teeth implants?
The pro of having implants is you can repair your teeth without affecting the ones adjacent to the gap. Once you have a tooth removed, you need to replace it with either a bridge or implant within six months of extraction. Otherwise, the adjacent teeth will begin to shift, and the bone where the roots were anchored will begin to soften and decay. A bridge involves crowning the adjacent teeth to support the pontic (the false tooth), which may put undue stress on them and ultimately damage them.





The con is cost. Insurance does not cover implants whatsoever, unlike with bridges. For implants, you have to pay your oral surgeon the few thousand dollars for the base he screws into your jaw, then go to your regular dentist and purchase the crown separately. Your jaw also may not be suitable for an implant. I was considering having one on one of my upper molars, but my maxilla is two thin. I would have had to pay an extra couple thousand dollars to have a bone graft.
