Dental loss: Dental implants or bridges?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Implants and bridges are two recommended options to replace the loss of one or more teeth. But what is the best option?

Dental injuries, advanced periodontal disease, caries… There are several factors that condition the loss of one or more teeth. Replacing these spaces as soon as possible is very important, both aesthetically and functional. The space that causes the absence of a tooth accelerates the dental wear, in addition to causing movements of the rest of teeth. Both implants and dental bridges are highly sought after options to replenish lost teeth. What does each treatment consist of and what do I need?

Do I need dental implants or bridges?

Each treatment is different although the objective is the same: to recover a beautiful and functional smile. A bridge is a structure made of a set of crowns, which simulates the shape of several dental pieces. The dental bridges are fixed on the natural teeth , carving the adjacent ones. To facilitate its fitting and fixation, the size of the neighboring teeth is reduced and cemented on the patient’s natural teeth.

Instead a dental implant is a cylindrical piece made of materials such as titanium, which replaces the root of the lost tooth. The process of implant placement can be prolonged months, but the result is an aesthetic and functional smile for many years.

then, what is the best treatment? Many experts recommend dental implants because they are safer and longer lasting. In addition the implants do not compromise the other dental parts. However, the cost of dental bridges is much lower than that of implants.

Therefore there are several elements to consider: Price, duration of treatment, esthetics… Depending on all these factors it will be preferable to opt for implants or bridges.
