What is a dental bridge?
A bridge replaces a missing tooth with an artificial tooth held in place by crowns on the teeth either side of the gap. It is fast, usually completed in a couple of visits, and does not need surgery.
What is a dental implant?
An implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone, topped with a crown. It replaces the root as well as the visible tooth and stands on its own.
How they compare
A bridge is quicker and does not involve surgery, but the neighbouring teeth need to be shaped to hold it. An implant takes longer because it needs time to fuse with the bone, but it leaves the neighbouring teeth untouched and helps preserve the bone in the gap.
Which is right for you?
It depends on your gums, bone, the teeth on either side of the gap, your general health and your budget. A short examination and an X-ray are enough for us to advise you properly.
