Before dental implants bridges (fixed partial denture), dentures or partial dentures were used to replace teeth. A bridge involves cutting structures of the two adjacent missing spaces in order to place the abutment or anchoring crowns. If there is a problem with the bridge, all the supporting teeth may need to get new restorations. Multiple teeth may need to be cut for Partial dentures. The wires that wrap around the remaining teeth can weaken and loosen the teeth. Full dentures don’t create the same chewing forces and are difficult to manipulate. Dental implants don’t require removal of any adjacent tooth structure and are fixed (attached) to the bone just like a tooth so it doesn’t require any manipulation while chewing. Dental Implant looks and feels natural and most importantly improves your comfort.
