Tooth extraction is very common, due lack of awareness of oral hygiene and due to lack or delay in treatment in time by the patient. After removal of teeth, it is essential to replace it with artificial tooth to maintain proper alignment of teeth and avoid difficulty in chewing and speaking.
Dental implants are artificial tooth, root replacement for missing tooth made with titanium which is bio-compatible for human body. It is screwed into the bone and mounted with crown for proper functioning.
Dental bridge is false tooth kept in place of missing tooth usually made of porcelain or Zirconia, taken support from other tooth around missing tooth. It can be single tooth or multiple tooth replacement.
Comparison between implants and bridge:-
| Implants | Bridge |
| 1. High success rate almost 95-98% but can last 15 year or more if proper oral hygiene regime followed. | 1. Success rate of 95-98% but has to be replaced every 5-8 years. |
| 2. Directly into the bone, no damage or compromise in tooth around it. Bone is preserved in due to implants. | 2. Support taken from tooth around, more damage to tooth around bridge. No bone preservation and wears away over time. |
| 3. Gums are healthy and no tissue damage. | 3. More chances of food lodgement and cavity to surrounding tooth. |
