When you lose a tooth, it is very important to replace the lost tooth to keep the rest of your teeth in line. Teeth also help you maintain your face shape, eating or speaking. Two of the most common options for compensating for lost teeth are dental bridges and implants.
Dental bridges are artificial teeth made by reducing the teeth adjacent to your missing tooth. They are usually made of materials such as porcelain or zirconium. They can be used to make up for one or more missing teeth.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, usually made of titanium. They are placed inside the jawbone to hold a crown or bridge in place.
Let's compare the pros and cons of implants and bridges.
A dental bridge does not require surgery, is generally less costly than dental implants, and is finished within a week, but it can damage adjacent healthy teeth
The dental implant does not harm the surrounding healthy teeth and helps to maintain the bone volume in that area. However, according to bridges, the process may take longer and may cost more.
When choosing between dental bridges and implants, your dentist can advise you on the best option for your situation. The best option for you depends on your budget, how many teeth you're missing, your overall health, and your time.
