A
bridge procedure involves preparing 2 or more
teeth for crowns and connecting them as a means
to replace missing teeth or in rare cases splint
them for strength. During the teeth preparation,
the teeth are ground down, compromised and traumatized.
Research shows that often times Bridges lead
to the need for additional dental treatment and
sometimes even additional tooth loss. Bridges
result in connecting teeth, making it more difficult
to floss and clean properly. Food can trap around
and underneath the bridge. Difficult hygiene
often leads to tooth decay. Trauma from the procedure
can result in dental nerve pathology and in rare
cases the need for root canals.
Implant dentistry directly replaces
missing teeth without the need to connect teeth
or attach prosthetics to existing teeth. Dental
Hygiene is easy and the same as with the natural
teeth. Implants also cannot get cavities/decay
and are less suseptible to gum disease.
