Implants Or Bridge-Which One Should You Go For?

Dental implants are quickly becoming the standard of care when it comes to replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants are technologically advanced restorations that are fast becoming popular with people. One of the main questions asked by the patients, who visit the offices of Ridgetop Dental International’s Dental Clinic in Koramangala, is which option is better for them-dental implants or fixed dental bridges? Here is the answer, brought to you by Ridgetop Dental International’s experts.

What is dental implant?

Dental implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them. Because implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial teeth, suggest Ridgetop Dental International’s expert dentists in Koramangala.

What is dental bridge?

A typical bridge comprises one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are held in place by two dental crowns, or abutments. Though the replacement teeth used in bridges can be made from a variety of materials, including silver amalgam or gold, they are commonly made from porcelain for aesthetic considerations.

Dental implant or Dental Bridge?

Although it depends upon personal preference and cost; more and more people who come to Ridgetop Dental International are choosing Ridgetop Dental International’s dental implants in Bangalore.

Bridges require that adjacent teeth be prepared to allow placement of an artificial crown and bridge to support the artificial tooth or teeth that will fill in the gap.

It may be undesirable that healthy teeth have to be prepared for an artificial tooth to fill the gap. Implants, on the other hand, do not require the destruction and restoration of adjacent teeth. A bridge can look and feel like real teeth. An implant consists of the implant itself, a post extension, and a crown, and also looks and feels exactly like a real tooth. But implants can often cost more than a bridge.

There are still instances however, when a fixed bridge might be the better option, so it is always good to talk to an expert and decide which option is better. So, visit the offices of Ridgetop Dental International Pvt Ltd, to talk to an expert and decide the best course of treatment to restore your beautiful smile.
