Over the past 30 years, teeth replacement has become more and more familiar with everybody. People no longer have concerns in missing or extracted teeth, because there is approver replacement, which is the key to a confident smile. However, patients usually wonder that what are the differences between dental bridge and dental implant and which is more suitable for them. Of course, Dental Implant is an ideal choice for them, but first individuals should consider some factors, including if their tooth loss is recent or long time ago.
PRACTICAL REASONS FOR BOTH
In the past you just have only one choice of teeth replacement – bridges, which involve more than just the missing teeth. Bridge has to be anchored to other neighbored teeth. In contrast, with implant therapy, dentists will just replace only one single tooth for a result that is stronger and permanent. However, if the adjacent teeth have enough fillings and need crowns or caps in the future, it is the best to choose dental bridge. In case that teeth have been lost very long time ago, the procedures beyond implant are required before replacement due to the gum and bone will have receded .Both procedures have their own advantages and disadvantages, which you can discuss with your dentist.
AESTHETICS
What about aesthetics? There isn't always a simple answer, but your dentist or prosthodontics – the latter specializes in crown, implants and bridges – will be able to advise you. Often the implant will provide the most pleasing result, as your dentist can make the final tooth look just like your natural enamel. Sometimes, an implant can be placed immediately after a tooth extraction, preserving the natural level of bone and improving the final appearance of the dental work.
DENTAL BRIDGE VS IMPLANT COST
Although the cost of the dental bridge is cheap, this is not an option of long-term replacement. Dental implant cost may seem higher than bridge (from preparation to final replacement), but it is worth spending on the one having much more effective. After extraction, for example, a bone graft is sometimes needed. It will take several months to heal this before implant placement, at which point osseointegration can take anywhere from three to six months before the process is complete.
Have you had your own decision on replacing teeth choice? Dental Bridge or Implant? You should have a dental appointment. Then your dentist will consult what is the best option you need. Although bridges are an older procedure, dental implants have become more commonplace over the years, and in most cases are the preferable treatment both in time and expense.
Note: the efficacy of the treatment can vary depending on each patient’s condition.
