If you are missing one of your teeth and weighing your tooth replacement options, consider a dental implant from Future of Dentistry.
Dental implants are the state of the art in dentistry. Dental bridges have been used for many years, but they have some downsides:
- They are a 3-tooth solution to a 1-tooth problem—the adjacent teeth must be prepped and crowned to hold the replacement (floating) tooth.
- It is hard to properly clean the small areas under the bridge.
- A dental bridge does not safeguard against bone recession at the extraction site.
Why is a dental implant superior to a bridge?
- It is a 1-tooth solution to a 1-tooth problem.
- It is usually stronger.
- Will reduce the risk of bone recession because it replaces the tooth root.
- It is usually easier to keep clean which results in a lower risk of decay.
- They last longer.
- Dental implants can support a denture or partial denture.
Dental implants are state-of-the-art in tooth replacement at Future of Dentistry. Patients come from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley for implants, bridges, and other restorative dentistry procedures. Call today!
