I have to replace two teeth and get a dental crown on another one. I’m trying to decide between dental implants and a dental bridge. What do you think would best work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Kevin,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both a dental implant and a dental bridge are good tooth replacement options. Which one you get will depend on a couple of things. First, I’ll go over how both of them work. Then, we’ll discuss which to choose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An
A Dental Implant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With dental implants<\/a>, a prosthetic tooth root is surgically placed into your jaw. There is a time of healing after the surgery and to allow the bone to integrate around the implant. After that time period, a dental crown will be placed on it <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are benefits to dental implants. They’re completely secure and the closest thing to having a healthy, natural tooth in your mouth again. Additionally, the root form signals to your brain the jawbone in that area is still necessary, thereby preserving it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Illustration
Dental Bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With a dental bridge<\/a>, a false tooth is suspended between two crowns. This is secured by being bonded onto the adjacent teeth. It makes more sense when one of the adjacent teeth already needs a crown. Without that, you’re just grinding down healthy tooth structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implant or Bridge?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you need a false tooth next to the tooth which needs to be crowned, then it would be a good idea to get the bridge. If the tooth which needs a crown is elsewhere, I’d get the dental implants to replace the tooth and then get the single tooth crowned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope this helps. This blog is brought to you by Lafayette, LA Dentist<\/a> Dr. Mike Malone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
