Introduction:
Hello! I’m Dr. Anthony P. Gabriel, a Board Certified Prosthodontist at Trident Dental Implant Center. One of the most common questions we get from patients is whether they should choose dental implants or bridges to replace missing teeth. Today, we’ll explore why dental implants are often the superior choice.
Durability and Longevity:
Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care, while bridges typically last 10-15 years before needing replacement.
Preservation of Jawbone Health:
Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss, whereas bridges do not provide this benefit, potentially leading to bone deterioration over time.
Impact on Adjacent Teeth:
Implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, while bridges involve grinding down healthy teeth to support the prosthesis, which can weaken them.
Aesthetic and Functional Benefits:
Implants look and feel like natural teeth, providing superior aesthetics and functionality compared to bridges.
