• Teeth supported fixed bridge requires the adjacent teeth also to be prepared for bridge support. During the preparation the tooth is grounded safely so that it can hold the bridge. With dental implants there is no requirement for preparation of adjacent teeth as implant itself acts as anchor
. • As your tooth is lost so is the supporting bone. Bone starts to resorb along the areas of previously present tooth. With a bridge this resorption does not stop. As dental implants integrate with the jawbone, it also helps in keeping the bone intact and healthy. Thus, bone is better preserved with implants.
• Gums recede around the bridge thus, leaving a visible defect when metal of the bridge is exposed which can lead to an unattractive smile. Thus, dental implants can be more esthetic and easier to clean than bridge.
• Removable dentures can move around your mouth and can reduce your ability to eat certain foods. Implants on the other hand are more esthetic, functional and comfortable in the long term
