  2. Implants vs. Dental bridges: Which one should I opt for? 1 • Tooth loss is more common than you might think. • According to the American College of Prosthodontists, an estimated 178 million Americans are missing at least one tooth and about 40 million Americans are missing all of their teeth.

  3. Differences between implants and bridges 1 • Dental Implant: • A dental implant is an artificial post that is inserted into a patient’s jawbone and left to Osseo-integrate or fuse with the adjacent bone. • Next, an abutment is attached to the post-frame. • Finally, a crown is cemented on top, completing the entire procedure. • Dental Bridge • A bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth or teeth. • It uses one or more adjacent teeth as an anchor on which to attach a crown.

  4. Differences between implants & bridges 1 Your decision to opt for bridges or dental implants in Palo Alto will depend on: • Your medical or oral health • Your budget, and • Your lifestyle

  5. Implant vs. Bridges: A comparison 1 Time Factor: • Dental bridges are a popular option because of the speed at which the replacement takes place. • Dental implant procedure requires several stages and might take 3-9 months from start to finish, depending on the complexity of your case. 2 Eligibility / restrictions on candidacy: • You need to have very healthy bones and be in good health to undergo an implant procedure. • Bridges require you to have healthy adjoining teeth that will need to be ground to anchor the bridge.

  6. Implant vs. Bridges: A comparison Comparing the cost: • Bridges are a less expensive solution than dental implants • However, implants may be a more economical solution in the long run as they are more durable than bridges. 3 The functionality and oral health impact: • Dental implants in Palo Alto not only closely resemble your natural roots but also help maintain your jawbone and oral health. • Dental bridges require the healthy adjoining teeth to be contoured and reshaped into tooth stubs that allow for the crown to be mounted on top. 4 3
