Reasons Why Implant-Supported Bridges May Be Your Best Option for Tooth Replacement
Duane Kelly
Are you missing multiple teeth and looking to replace them? Dental implants can enable you to restore the natural teeth you lost as well as the roots. However, you might be wondering whether to use removable dentures, implant-supported bridges or fixed bridges. For this reason, here are things you should know that could make implant-supported bridges the best solution for your problem.
Better Bone Preservation
You can replace your lost teeth using the implant-supported bridges, and since you will be replacing some of the roots, there is a better preservation of your bone. That is, in case you use removable partial dentures or fixed bridges, the bone, which surrounded your root of your tooth previously, may start deteriorating or resorbing. Moreover, dentures may not fuse or integrate with your jawbone, which may lead to eventual loss of the bone. As such, you can prevent this by using the implant-supported bridges that can conjoin with your jawbone and help it stay intact and healthy.
No Structural Modification of Natural Teeth
Would you want your natural teeth to wear and damage gradually after replacing your lost teeth? Implant-supported bridges are not dependent on your natural teeth that are adjacent, for support, which means that the restorations may not require structural modifications of your natural teeth. In that case, your adjacent teeth can remain healthy and whole without being subjected to the weight and the pressure of supporting the bridges. For this reason, you might have prevented your crowned teeth from damage or wear over time.
Better Aesthetic Value
Do you want to maintain your beautiful smile and self-esteem from your good-looking teeth even after replacing them? Implant-supported bridges may not be reliant on adhesives because of the implants that are used for holding your dentures securely in place. As such, the secure holding can prevent slippage and enable you to obtain a functional, beautiful, and seamless, superior smile easily.
Ability to Perform Functions Just Like Natural Teeth
Do you have the craving for the crunchy snacks or steak that you always like after replacing your teeth? Try these implant-supported bridges, which can enable you to perform these functions easily just like the way you were used to based on the following reason. That is, these bridges can be permanent, feel, and look just like your natural teeth. As such, this can allow you to eat whatever you want, whenever you want it or wherever you want. Contact a dentist for more information.
