The cosmetic dentistry experts at Almeida & Bell Cosmetic, Implant & Sedation Dentistry in Lone Tree, CO can answer your questions about improving your grin.
Do you have a missing tooth?
Are you researching the various restoration options?
Does a dental bridge seem to make the most sense financially?
If you have a missing tooth and want to restore that gap in your mouth, it is important to examine the differences between a dental bridge and a tooth implant.
Dental bridges have replaced teeth for generations of people. However, they are a 3-tooth solution to a 1-tooth problem. The teeth next to the missing tooth must be prepped and crowned to hold the replacement (floating) tooth.
Why does a tooth implant have key advantages over a dental bridge?
- 1-tooth solution to a 1-tooth problem.
- Usually stronger.
- Lessen the risk of bone recession (as compared to a bridge) because it replaces the tooth root.
- Easier to keep clean which results in a lower risk of decay.
- Lasts longer.
- Eventually, could support a denture or partial denture.
If you need to replace a tooth, talk to your Lone Tree dentist about all of your treatment options. If you decide on a dental implant, it could be less expensive and a better tooth replacement.
