Missing teeth can significantly impact your smile, confidence, and even chewing ability. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers various solutions to restore your oral health and function. Here’s a comparison of two common approaches:
Dental Implant: Considered the gold standard due to its durability, natural look, and function. An implant screw is surgically placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. A crown is then attached to the implant for a permanent restoration.
Dental Bridge: A fixed bridge involves placing crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap and attaching an artificial tooth in between. Requires modifying healthy teeth, potentially compromising their long-term health.
