Advantages of Dental Implants Compared to Bridges

  • Strong and natural-looking tooth
  • Helps preserve the surrounding bone
  • More cost-effective in the long term
  • Replacing a single tooth with a dental implant is the option most dentists and patients prefer because it gives you a strong and natural-looking tooth without sacrificing the health of adjacent teeth.

What Is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single tooth implant replaces a missing tooth by mimicking the natural root. It is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it integrates and provides a secure foundation. After a healing period, a custom-crafted porcelain or ceramic crown is attached, restoring both the function and appearance of your natural tooth. Beyond aesthetics, the implant also helps preserve the surrounding bone structure

Single Tooth Implant vs. Traditional Bridge

In contrast, a traditional dental bridge is adhered to two neighbouring teeth, necessitating the modification or shaving down of these supporting teeth. This process increases their vulnerability to gum recession and decay. Unlike a single tooth implant, a bridge can contribute to the deterioration of the bone beneath the artificial tooth over time, potentially leading to cosmetic defects.

Benefits and Cost Considerations

When considering options like single tooth replacement, it’s essential to acknowledge that a single tooth implant offers distinct advantages, including superior preservation of surrounding bone. Moreover, understanding the factors influencing the single tooth implant cost in Canada is crucial for making informed decisions about your dental health.

Is an Implant Still an Option?

If you have a single tooth replacement dental bridge that is failing or needs replacement, an implant may still be an option for you.

What’s the Best Choice: Dental Implants or Dental Bridges?

Why Choose a Dental Implant?

A dental implant serves as an effective solution for replacing a missing tooth, functioning as an artificial tooth root. This implant is meticulously inserted into the jawbone. Following a designated healing period, a porcelain or ceramic crown is affixed to the implant. This crown closely resembles and mimics the appearance and feel of a natural tooth, thereby not only providing an excellent replacement but also contributing to the maintenance of strong and healthy jawbone structure.

What About a Dental Bridge?

A traditional dental bridge is supported by the two teeth next to the space where a tooth is missing. To make this work, those nearby teeth have to be reshaped, which can make them more vulnerable to problems like gum issues and cavities. While a bridge can help improve your smile, it doesn’t actually protect the bone underneath the missing tooth. Over time, this might lead to some changes in your appearance.

When to Consider Implants Over Bridges

If your dental bridge is starting to fail or needs a makeover, don’t worry—an implant could still be a great solution for you!
