Bridge VS. Dental implant what’s the difference ??
🔹Dental Bridge:
* What It Is: A bridge consists of false teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth (abutments).
* Procedure: The adjacent teeth are filed down to fit the crowns, and a bridge is custom-made to fill the gap.
🔸 Dental Implants:
* What It Is: An implant involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a new tooth root. A crown is then attached to this post.
* Procedure: Involves surgery and a healing period for the bone to integrate with the implant, followed by crown placement.
Dental bridges are a viable option for those seeking a quicker fix or who may not be candidates for implants.
However, for preserving oral health and avoiding future complications, dental implants generally offer the best benefits.
