๐ Dental Implants vs Bridges: What Is the Difference?
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth without relying on the neighbouring teeth for support. A traditional bridge fills the gap by using teeth beside it as anchors.
Both options can restore appearance and chewing, but they involve different procedures, maintenance needs and clinical considerations.The condition of the adjacent teeth, gums, jawbone and bite will influence which pathway may be suitable. There is no single option that is right for every patient.
